Hitz Memorial Home Description
These principles lead to a very different way of life from the regimen of the traditional nursing homes in which there was a fixed time to wake up, go to bed, eat, shower and so on. Does anyone really want to live their life that way? In pioneer homes, residents can order from menus, have pets and make as many decisions for themselves as possible. Many of these facilities include everything from game rooms to bistros, libraries and even gift shops. This “culture change” is changing the quality of life for nursing home residents and their families.
Hitz Home is a member of the Pioneer Coalition that is helping to spread “culture change” throughout the industry. At Hitz Home, we understand that the quality of life is experienced through the true understanding of the residents’ wishes. The understanding and communication between care givers and residents at Hitz Home has brought about a significant change in the quality of life experienced by our residents. We truly believe that it is important for each resident to live the remainder of his/her life to the fullest extent possible.
At Hitz Home we cater to all of our residents needs which included providing an outdoor swing for those who use a wheel chair. Unlike other nursing home facilities, Hitz Home offers a private room complete with kitchen area for families to use with their loved ones for gatherings. We want our residents to have a voice in their care, so residents have the ability to serve on committees in conjunction with staff members in order to voice their needs, wants and desires to ensure that their voice is heard. Our resident/staff committees currently include: food committee, welcoming committee and death and dying committee. We invite you to come and check out what we have to offer.
