  • Exclusive Interview Insights

    Our team personally reached out and conducted an insightful interview with this community on Feb. 1, 2024. Here's what we learned:

    Welcome to Our Senior Living Community

    Our community is a warm and welcoming place for seniors seeking a supportive living environment. We pride ourselves on being a pet-friendly community, understanding the importance of companionship that pets bring to our residents.

    Types of Care Offered

    We offer supportive living services, assisting with daily living activities under the same guidelines as assisted living. Our community is equipped to accept residents in the first stages of dementia, provided they are not at risk of wandering elopement. However, it's important to note that we do not have a dedicated memory care unit.

    Availability and Waitlist

    While we currently have one available apartment, there is a high demand for residency in our community. We anticipate the formation of a waiting list in the coming weeks as more people express their desire to join our community.

    Transportation Services

    Understanding the need for mobility and independence, we provide transportation services three times a week, facilitating access to various appointments and outings.

    Dining Experience

    Our dining service is designed to offer a restaurant-style experience, allowing residents to enjoy their meals in a pleasant and social setting.

    Safety Measures

    For those residents who choose to, safety pendants are available. This is part of our commitment to the independence and safety of our community members.

    Our Staff

    Our team comprises certified nursing assistants and a nurse to ensure the health and well-being of our residents. It's important to note that we do not have doctors or nurse practitioners on-site. Our residents are encouraged to maintain relationships with their external physicians for comprehensive healthcare.

    Grievance Process

    Should any resident or staff member have a complaint, we have a clear grievance process in place. Grievances are filed through a form and are addressed by the administrator, escalating to the corporate level if necessary.

    Communication with Families and Friends

    We understand the importance of staying connected. Our community actively maintains social media sites and newsletters. Additionally, we utilize the Care Merge app, ensuring seamless communication with the families and friends of our residents.

    Pet Policy

    As a pet-friendly community, we welcome your furry friends. While we are in the process of finalizing our pet policy, including a deposit for pet owners, we are committed to making our community accessible to pet owners.
