PERSONALIZED SERVICE AND ASSISTANCE

We understand that each resident is an individual with unique needs and preferences.  That's why we meet with residents and families and conduct an assessment – prior to move-in and at regular intervals after move-in, to understand the need for assistance and support in the following areas:

• Personal hygiene and grooming
• Showering or bathing
• Dressing and clothing selection
• Socialization and activities
• Medication administration
• Mobility and transferring
• Continence management
• Monitoring of safety
• Assistance with eating

This assessment helps determine the appropriate care and service that preserves each resident’s dignity, encourages independence and best enables freedom of choice.  The assessment results in determining a specific service-level based on the amount of assistance provided.

Upon completion of the assessment, a team comprised of the Executive Director, or Resident Care Coordinator, Health-Care Coordinator, and our designated care Manager will prepare an individualized service plan that is monitored on a daily basis.

Amenities and Services

Continence Management
Working together with the resident as well as their family and physicians, we will determine an appropriate care plan.  We will continually assess this plan and provide suggestions for products and management should a seniors needs change.

Medication Management
We order, manage and administer medication, depending on the needs of each resident, using approved pharmacies.

Respite Care
For those seniors that need assisted living services on a short-term basis, such as while family is on vacation or the resident is recovering from an illness or hospital stay
