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.

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.
