Assisted living comes in more than one level of care. Residents get help as needed with bathing, dressing, personal hygiene and ambulation, plus medication management, social services consultations and 24/7 on-site emergency nursing assistance.
Memory care serves residents with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia in a home-like setting, with team members who engage residents through meals, music, studio arts, afternoon tea and neighborhood strolls.
The Health Care Center provides long-term skilled nursing in private and semi-private rooms, with registered nurses present 24 hours a day. Care plans are developed by registered nurses, certified nursing assistants, social workers and dietitians under a board-certified geriatrics physician.
Short-term rehabilitation includes physical, occupational and speech therapy from full-time therapists in a rehab gym with a simulated apartment, for recovery from joint replacement, shoulder surgery, stroke or neurological conditions.
Respite care offers a fully furnished apartment with supportive personal care around the clock, medication management and freshly prepared meals for people recovering from illness or surgery, or while caregivers take a break.
