Amenities and Services

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
• Enhanced nursing care needs
• Programming for memory impairments

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.

PROGRAMS AND SERVICES

Continence Management

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

Memory Care

Our specially designed memory neighborhood caters to residents with memory loss, including Alzheimer's disease and other related memory disorders.

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.
