Exclusive Interview Insights
Our team personally reached out and conducted an insightful interview with this community on Oct. 19, 2023. Here's what we learned:
Welcome to Our Senior Living Community
Our senior living community, nestled in the heart of Memorial Woods, offers a blend of comfort, care, and quality living. We provide a range of services tailored to meet the needs of each resident, ensuring a warm and inviting environment for all.
Accommodation Options
Residents can choose from various room options, each varying in size and amenities to suit individual preferences and care requirements. Our community was built in 1987, which means our apartments boast generous closet space, a feature often lacking in newer constructions. As residents move out, we ensure that each apartment is updated to maintain a fresh and modern living space.
Respite Care and Short-Term Stays
We understand the importance of flexibility, which is why we offer respite care and short-term stay options in both assisted and independent living settings. This allows for a minimum of 30 days stay, providing a temporary home away from home.
Moving Assistance
Transitioning to a senior living community can be a significant change, and we strive to make it as smooth as possible. While families are responsible for the moving process, we have a list of recommended moving companies that have proven to be reliable and considerate of our residents' needs.
Pet-Friendly Environment
We welcome pets as part of our community, understanding the joy and companionship they bring to our residents. Dogs and cats are the most common pets, with a weight limit of 30 pounds. We also accommodate other gentle and kind pets, such as parrots, upon reviewing their veterinary records.
Dining Experience
Our dining service offers a delightful experience with two prepared entrees for lunch and dinner, alongside a variety of breakfast items. For those with different tastes, an always available menu features classics like hamburgers, hot dogs, tilapia, salads, and soups.
Safety and Security
The safety of our residents is paramount. We have a receptionist at the desk 24 hours a day, secure door locks, and a sign-in requirement for all visitors. Additionally, we provide secure parking with valet service included in the rent, ensuring peace of mind for our residents and their families.
Resident Concerns and Communication
Our community values resident feedback and has established a process for addressing complaints through our independent living director, executive director, and a strong resident council. Communication with resident families is primarily conducted via email or traditional mail, with monthly newsletters keeping everyone informed.
Transportation Services
We offer transportation for doctor's appointments within a 10-mile radius, included in the rent. Our fleet includes a bus equipped for wheelchair access and Chevy Traverses for other transportation needs.
Staff and Training
Our community is proud of our dedicated staff, many of whom have been with us for years, bringing stability and experience to their roles. From housekeeping to maintenance, our team is well-versed in their respective duties. We provide comprehensive orientation and ongoing training, including resident rights, menu details, emergency procedures, and specialized dementia training for memory care staff.
Community Updates and Renovations
We are committed to keeping our community up-to-date and comfortable. Renovations are currently underway in our assisted living and memory care areas, following recent updates in our independent living spaces. These improvements ensure that our community remains a modern and attractive place to live.
Availability
While we currently have a waitlist for our memory care services, we encourage prospective residents and their families to reach out and learn more about the options available in our community.
