Personal Care
Our compassionate and dedicated staff will start by working with you and your loved one to create a care plan tailored to your specific needs, acknowledging your preferences, and adjusting to any changes - a plan designed to help you remain as independent as possible in a safe, secure home of your own. Because our goal is to maximize our residents’ health and happiness, our entire team is flexible and happily go above and beyond to exceed expectations. Personal Care Aides provide assistance with bathing, dressing, and laundry while a trained medication technician administers prescribed medication on a daily basis. Activities are provided seven days per week. Medical appointments, salon services, and religious services are held on a weekly basis. In addition, eye exams, dental care, and mental health services are provided on-site and are available on an as-needed basis.
Respite Care
While many families take great joy (pride) in providing care to their loved ones at home, the physical, social and emotional toll on the family caregiver can feel overwhelming without some support, such as respite. Respite has been known to help reduce caregiver burden and strain, sustain caregiver health and well being, as well as improve family relationships. Respite Care is available for all Personal Care and Skilled Nursing stays for as short as 5 days or as long as 30 days. Respite can serve as temporary care for a loved one during a vacation or transitional care after a prolonged hospital or rehabilitation stay.
