Island Assisted Living

1. Staff and Training Overview

We have licensed Home Health Aides available around the clock to assist residents with activities of daily living. They check on their assigned residents at least once per shift, ensuring each resident is checked on a minimum of three times in a 24-hour period. Licensed nurses are present during business hours every day. Upon a new resident's arrival, our Director of Nursing conducts an initial assessment to develop a care plan, in collaboration with our primary care practitioner and specialists, including cardiologists, neurologists, and more. Med technicians manage medication, and we offer Physical and Occupational Therapy five days a week.

2. Transportation Services

We offer transportation to outside doctor's appointments and organize trips to restaurants, stores, or movie theaters 2-3 times a month. Our facility also hosts daily activities for residents to enjoy.

3. Dining Experience

Our dining hall serves three meals a day plus two nutritious snacks, with menus prepared by a dietitian. Meals are served restaurant-style, and substitutions are available for those who dislike the menu options. Attendance is taken to ensure all residents are eating properly.

4. Addressing Complaints and Issues

Our case management team, available five days a week, maintains an open door policy for resident complaints and issues.

5. Cost of Living

As an ALP Assisted Living Residence, Medicaid covers care costs, and a resident's social security income covers room and board. Residents earning less than $1,637 in social security income are eligible for a boost, ensuring their room and board costs are covered, with the remainder provided as pocket money.

6. Communication with Residents' Families

Our case management team facilitates communication with residents' families, keeping them updated on their loved ones' well-being.

7. Short-term or Respite Stays

We do not offer short-term or respite stays, as we are a long-term care facility.

8. Pet Policy

Pets are not allowed in our Assisted Living community.

9. Covid and Flu Vaccinations

Covid and flu vaccinations are regularly offered to our residents.

10. Aging in Place

As a congregate care level 3 facility, residents needing higher levels of care than we can provide will need to transition to a more suitable facility.

Medicaid Insurance covers all care costs, and social security income covers room and board for eligible residents. We currently have beds available and do not have a waitlist.
