Do you guys currently have a waitlist?

Not at the moment.

Could you share pricing and any other general information?

Please see above information.

Could you provide an overview of the types of professionals on your staff and the training they undergo at your facility?

In the Wellness dept. we have caregivers, medication technicians, wellness coordinators and the Wellness Director, Amy Bowman, LVN. They train prior and during employment. Home Health agencies as well as own owners provide training. I can connect you to Amy if you'd like to understand additional information/criteria/etc.

Could you tell me about the measures you have in place to ensure the safety and well-being of your residents?

We have each door to the community alarmed. Residents with dementia or cognitive decline wear bracelets that trigger the alarm should they get too close or through those doors. We have cameras in the common areas. All staff wear pagers that alert them to resident or door alarm needs. Residents are all given emergency pendant necklaces/bracelets.

Do you offer any resources or support services to aid residents' transition into the community?

We have three resident ambassadors that welcome all incoming residents by helping them understand the path to activities, dining room and help engage them to feel welcome. All staff do the safe. The first 14 to 30 days we all work together to make sure they know their way around and feel comfortable/welcome.

Do you offer transportation services for residents?

Yes. We have a driver 5 days a week.

Could you tell me a little about your dining experience?

At lunch and dinner there is a salad bar to eat from too. Servers assist residents tableside. Breakfast has the same menu daily and a breakfast bar to order from.

What is the process that takes place if a resident has a complaint or an issue they want addressed?
