I myself help with transition by visiting often to aid with the transition. We offer support services through social services, we can provide counseling if needed, along with staffing here to help with supporting individuals.

What is the process that takes place if a resident has a complaint or an issue they want addressed?

When it comes to complaints, you would tell myself, social services, or our executive director. We will take your concern, document in our system, discuss as a team and the appropriate party will follow up with you with a resolution that both parties agree with.

We have Respite stays where people can come in and have short-term therapy and we offer respite stays so caregivers can take time to relax. The cost depends on the length of stay and the LOC that is needed. These prices would be established with a personal evaluation.
