Welcome to Our Community

We currently do not have a waiting list for our community. We are staffed with a Director of Wellness (an RN), an additional nurse, a medication technician, and home health aids that assist with our resident’s daily living activities, such as bathing, toileting, dressing, etc.

Admission Process

Prior to admission, we like to meet our new potential residents so we are able to appropriately place them in our community, dependent on how much memory support is needed. Upon move in, our nurses complete an assessment in which our resident’s are evaluated on how much assistance is needed, diet, diagnoses, as well as a skin assessment. We work closely with the therapy team to ensure the best safety measures are in place for each our residents. This may include using a hospital bed to make transfers, the use of floor mats in case of falls. We have a call bell system in each apartment, located in the bathrooms and bedrooms, as well as common areas.

Dining Experience

Our dining experience includes a dining room where we encourage our residents to participate for each meal, we offer an appetizer and 3 choices of entrees. Our dining staff keep track of every resident’s diet to ensure they are eating the most appropriate meals. Part of our transition for new residents is a program we call “Story of My Life,” in which our recreation staff interview the family and resident on their history as well as current interests thus providing some common interests and allow us to assist in finding a group for the new residents to enjoy their meal with.

Transportation and Pet Policy

We have a community bus that brings residents to community outings, however for appointments we set up transport with an outside company which is private pay for the resident/family. We are a pet friendly community with the proper vaccines, we have dog therapy every Friday.

Respite Stays and Communication

We offer respite stays which lasts 30-60 days, which is based on the apartment of choice, price varies on sq footage, and care level. Our nursing staff communicates with families often, any changes or questions are always communicated. Myself as well as my Director of Wellness are happy to provide families with our cell phone numbers to keep in communication at all times.
