Overview of Our Professional Staff and Training

Our team includes certified care managers, med techs responsible for medication distribution, an Assistant Director of Nursing, a Director of Nursing, and an Executive Director, all of whom are licensed practical nurses (LPNs). Our staff undergoes rigorous training to ensure the highest level of care and expertise in our facility.

Safety and Well-being Measures

To ensure the safety and well-being of our residents, we employ several measures including the use of wander guards for residents with cognitive impairments, locking our front door from 7PM to 7AM, providing all residents with a personal pendant, and installing call bells next to the toilet and bed in every room.

Support Services for Residents

We offer support services to help residents transition into our community, including resident ambassadors and an activities director who takes the time to understand each resident's background, interests, and hobbies.

Transportation Services

Our facility provides a wheelchair-accessible van for appointments within a 5-to-10-mile radius on Tuesdays and Thursdays, requiring at least a week's notice for scheduling. Recreational trips are planned for the spring.

Dining Experience

Our dining service is restaurant-style, with daily menus posted on a whiteboard and alternative selections always available.

Addressing Complaints and Issues

Residents with complaints or issues are encouraged to speak directly to the Executive Director or the Director of Nursing for clinical concerns.

Cost of Living

The cost for a studio apartment starts at $2,250, and a one-bedroom apartment at $3,340, plus additional care level costs starting at $400 based on a pre-move-in nurse's assessment.

Communication with Residents' Families

We maintain open communication with residents' families and ensure they are kept informed about their loved ones' well-being, with clinical staff providing updates on any changes.

Short-term or Respite Stays

We offer short-term respite stays at a daily rate of $73.77 plus the daily rate for the required level of care, starting at $13.11, with a minimum stay of 30 days.

Pet-Friendly Community

Our community is pet-friendly, with a one-time $500 pet fee for residents wishing to bring a cat or dog. Visiting pets must have up-to-date immunizations.

Availability and Waitlist

We currently have one room available before starting a waitlist. A $500 deposit can hold the room for up to two weeks, applicable towards the first month's rent or refundable if not moved in.

Vaccinations

Questions regarding Covid and flu vaccinations for residents should be directed to our clinical staff for accurate information.

Aging in Place

While we support aging in place, there are circumstances under which we may no longer be able to provide the necessary level of care, such as significant mobility or cognitive declines, necessitating a higher level of care.
