Community Insights

Overview of Professionals and Training
We employ LVN’s, caregivers, and medication technicians. All team members receive the initial and annual required training mandated by Community Care Licensing Division, and many positions require a specific level of experience. All employees must pass a background clearance check to work at the community.
Safety and Well-being Measures
All residents in Assisted Living are provided with a pendant that can be used to alert staff that they need assistance. Resident and Public Restrooms have pull cords as an additional means of alerting staff regarding needs. Care staff complete routine rounds throughout the course of their shift for added security. Memory Care has egress doors that alarm in the event someone exits. In Assisted living, we have a Wander-guard system that can be used by individuals in the early stages of dementia, which will set off an alarm if they exit the community. All staff are trained in our emergency procedures, so they are prepared to respond in the event of an emergency and or natural disaster. We meet weekly as an interdisciplinary team to discuss each resident and determine if any team members are noticing changes that need to be addressed.

Resident Complaints and Issues
As Executive Director, I ensure that any concerns expressed by residents are escalated to me, and I work directly with residents and families to resolve any complaints. We have a procedure in place to assure a timely response to any concerns.
