All staff must pass a background check prior to starting and complete a Dependent Adult Abuse & Dementia class. We also have mandatory monthly in-services that range from fall prevention to disaster preparedness. The healthcare staff additionally undergoes a monthly in-service related to proper nursing procedures.

Measures for Resident Safety and Well-being

To ensure the safety and well-being of our residents, we have well-checks, several cameras throughout the building, and alarm systems on exit doors.

Resources and Support for Transitioning

Our Director of Social Services conducts a social history with incoming residents and shares this with staff to help transitions. The Activity Director also plays a crucial role by matching incoming residents with those who have shared interests and encouraging participation in activities.

Transportation Services

We offer scheduled outings to restaurants, grocery stores, and scenic drives. Medical transportation is also available twice a week with a charge depending on the distance: $25 round trip for local rides and $50 for rides outside of that.

Dining Experience

We provide three meals per day with two choices for main entrees and sides, along with one dessert. A small a la carte menu is also available. We have two dining rooms in the care center, one of which is dedicated to residents requiring assistance with eating or those on mechanical soft or thickened liquid diets.

Complaint and Issue Resolution

Residents typically discuss complaints or issues with their floor nurse, but they can also approach the Social Services Director. We display the local Long-Term Care Ombudsman’s contact details within the building. Additionally, we hold monthly resident council meetings.

Communication with Residents' Families

The Social Services Director, Director of Nursing, Assistant Director of Nursing, and our Activity Director schedule care conferences with residents and their families. Floor nurses handle daily communications regarding health concerns or issues.

Short-term or Respite Stays

We offer respite stays at our normal day rates of $295 - $335, with a minimum stay requirement of 5 days.

Pet Policy

We are a pet-friendly community. Pet visitors are allowed in the care center, and residents in the independent and assisted living buildings may have pets with the Administrator's approval.

Vaccination Availability

We organize clinics for Covid and flu vaccinations and maintain medical records for residents.

Aging in Place

As a Continuum of Care Community, we offer independent, assisted, nursing home, and skilled rehab services on-site. While there is a small waitlist for private rooms, double rooms with shared bathrooms are currently available.
