The Gardens Of French Creek At Avon Oaks

Staffing Schedule

We have an STNA that works 6:30am-6:30pm, another STNA works 7am-2pm, then an STNA works 4-9pm to help get through dinner and assist residents to bed. Then at 6:30pm-6:30am we have an STNA that comes in.

I am the full-time day shift nurse that works in the assisted living. I’m an LPN and a certified director of assisted living, also I have CPR and am a certified infection preventionist. Overnight, we have an LPN/RN on duty that oversees the assisted living.

We have a continuing education software system called Relias and the STNAs have first aid training. Our STNAs have taken med pass classes, they have the ability to pass routine medications with the exception of Narcotics and insulin. Those have to be administered by nursing.

Rounding Procedures

We have rounding procedures put in place to check on residents throughout the day and night shift. Our front doors lock at 9pm. We do not have personal alarms/bed pad alarms in AL.

Staff and Resident Support

Staff is wonderful and have longevity and help residents adjust into their new home. We do have psych/counseling services available if needed.

Transportation

We do have a bus for transportations to and from appointments (a fee is involved).

Dining Services

Our dining room serves restaurant style, residents have a choice at meal times and if they don’t like the options alternatives are always available. If they do not come to the dining room they have the option to eat meals in their rooms.

Resident Council and Communication

We have a resident council that is held and residents can verbalize likes and dislikes. Also, I address any complaints/concerns in real time.

I communicate or the other nurses with families if there are any changes in conditions, new orders, lab results, etc.

Respite Care

We do offer respite care. I will attach the pricing list, which is broken down into segments depending on the level of care needs.

Pet Policy

We are a pet-friendly facility but the resident has to be able to take care of the pet themselves, including feeding, letting the dog out, and emptying litter boxes, etc.

Vaccinations

We do offer Covid/flu and pneumonia vaccines.

Resident Transition and Aging in Place

Residents can age in place here, they have to continue to be a one-person assist. If they are a two-person assist/transfer, they don’t qualify to stay in regular assisted living. They can reside in the dementia unit AL being a two-person transfer. We are also private pay so when residents run out of money they can transition into the nursing home where they accept Medicaid.

We do have a small waiting list to get into assisted living.
