ABOUT OUR COMMUNITY:
Our building is arranged to offer the maximum protection for
Memory Impaired residents. We work very closely with their doctors to find the
appropriate medication and dosage to allow these residents to truly enjoy their
lives without being so over medicated that they can not function properly. I might add
that our success in giving Memory Impaired residents back much of their lives
is so appreciated that many of their families and medical professionals have called it nothing
short of miraculous.
The
size of our community offers the benefit of having
a variety of people to befriend as well as a loving
place to live. Many have found genuine friends and formed deep friendships. We are committed to giving your loved one
the best experience and care available. We also offer a wide range of
social activities and programs to satisfy the needs of most residents. Our
caring staff is well trained in the physical and emotional needs of all the
residents, and offers encouragement and care, appropriate to each individual.
Careful attention is given to
preparing tasteful, flavorful and nutritious meals which do not taste bland,
as is the reputation of many other care communities. Evening snacks are served daily and attention is
given to the special dietary needs of those residents who require them.
Juice and drink carts are offered between meals in order to keep our residents
hydrated. Residents are assisted with personal care, bathing and their personal
hygiene that
may be needed.
Assistance is available around the clock, with 2 staff members remaining awake
throughout the night. They stand ready to check on residents regularly every two
hours, and
respond to nurse call paging continually, and to give any assistance or medications needed.
Housekeeping and laundry
services are provided as an included service unlike facilities which add charges
for every care service they provide.
Residents can visit the
on-site beauty/barber shop for a small extra cost. There is a large sitting room
with a big screen TV, and a front parlor/activity room that is suitable for
family gatherings.
For our memory impaired
residents, we provide a secured perimeter to help protect their safety and security, while
the more alert
residents are able to enter and leave freely. Though no system is 100% free from
human error, our system is as secure as humanly possible. We also do not
isolate our memory care residents because our experience has shown that they
profit emotionally from mixing with all the other residents and so do the other
residents who are also able to love them.
We have a visiting
Podiatrist at our community at regular intervals for those
residents needing to use him.
