Independent Plus

Many Independent residents utilize our Independent Plus program (IP). This is our in-house supportive care group which offers tailored services for those that need care such as medication management, assistance with bathing and dressing, and more. IP is ideal for people that need some help periodically (or on a scheduled basis) with daily tasks they are having challenges with. However, those challenges do not warrant the need for 24-hour care.

Our IP Director speaks to residents individually to make sure they can provide all the assistance needed. They can provide cost estimates based on the needs of each person. The use of IP can help maintain and prolong independence as much as possible.

Assisted Living

In our state licensed Assisted Living section, there are increased services and amenities in standard residency (along with those previous listed) including:

• 24-hour staff
• Personalized care programs
• Three meals per day
• Laundry of linen and clothing
• Emergency in-room pull cords
• True roll-in showers
• Access to both Assisted Living and Independent Living services and common areas

For admittance into Assisted Living, our Health and Wellness Director (HWD) performs a health and needs assessment prior to move-in. We also have a Physicians Health Statement (PHS) report completed by a potential resident’s physician for medical history and directives. In addition, we require a Tuberculosis and COVID-19 test prior to move-in. This information allows our HWD to properly gauge the level of care needed for each individual. Based on that level, a care cost is added to the base rent of the apartment.
