What are the medical benefits of small community assisted living?

Residents are able to keep their own primary doctors. Families and residents are aware of any and all medications prescribed and taken. This lessens the opportunity for over medication, medication mistakes or indiscriminate use of medications.
Health is the focus of this facility and promoted in everything we do throughout the day. Fresh fruits and vegetables are a delicious meal components and not an after thought. This has lessened the dependence on stool softeners. Sugar, salt and caffeine in the diet are ardently kept to a minimum. Weight and blood pressure improve. Daily activities are increased. Resident’s are drawn into life in an intentional manner to restore individual feelings of interest, independence and self worth.
Resident’s are reminded, encouraged and assisted in doing exercises and range of motions activities suggested by their doctors and therapists. Range of motion activities are also built into the daily schedule in the form of meaningful activities relevant to the individual resident’s interests and life skills.
Mood and affect are closely observed and recorded. With only four residents small changes in disposition can be noted and recorded. This close monitoring can be of assistance for family and doctors as they evaluate the effects of drugs, physical needs and changes of their patient and loved one.
Tooth brushing is encouraged after every meal. Dental health is a focus of our home. Gum disease, tooth decay, poor diet and dental hygiene neglect can be devastating to the elderly.
