Safety and Well-being Measures

We are a dementia-specific building. All of our doors are locked and alarmed.

Resources for Transitioning Residents

When a new tenant moves in we ask for them to fill out some “getting to know you” paperwork for staff to get to know them. When they move in we will come and introduce ourselves and for about the first 2 weeks we will ask them about all activities and meals. We will help escort them as well so they get familiar with the community.

Transportation Services

We offer transportation to medical appointments within the surrounding area. We do medical drives on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Our driver has Tuesday and Thursdays for activity planned outings.

Dining Experience

We offer 3 meals a day. At every meal, we take the tenants' orders. We have several different options at each meal. We always have a weekly alternative, one for lunch and one for supper. We always have available, soup, grilled cheese, egg sandwich, burger, or peanut butter and jelly. We offer soup and salad cart at supper. We have dessert after lunch and supper. We offer several different drink options as well.

Addressing Resident Complaints

It depends on what the issue is. We try to address them right as we are aware of them. We have work orders the tenant can fill out if there is a maintenance issue in their room or if they need help with getting their items hung up. Usually, they just let staff know of the issue and we take care of it right away. We have an open door policy so most of our tenants will just stop us if there is some issue they are having. We have a monthly tenant and food council meeting. Where we encourage all of our tenants to come out. We have the department heads sit out and we go over each department and they tell us if there is something that is good or bad. We also have a calendar planning meeting where tenants meet with our activity director and go over items they would like to see on our activity calendar.

If there for a formal complaint we have a form for them to fill out and procedures and protocols we follow.
