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

We are a secured memory care community; We have a Real time tracking system in place for all our residents to track where there are always. It’s kind of like a fit bit. It also serves as a call light if they need help. We staff at a 1:6 ratio to insure all our residents are being attentive to properly. We can enable custom alerts based on the residents’ habits, symptoms, and behaviors. Our system was built for us, nobody has the same system.

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

Our team is well connected in within our community. If there is a specific service, you need I would be happy to connect you with a local company. Also bear in mind, we offer fully furnished suites, so you don’t have to pay a moving company.

Do you offer transportation services for residents?

What we have found is that many of our families prefer to use our “in-house” providers—this includes Primary care physician, ophthalmologist, dentist, pharmacy, and audiologist. These in house providers eliminate the need for transportation services. We have also found that leaving our community for offsite appointments increases confusion. Our best practice is to manage residents’ clinical needs in house! If transportation services are needed, we can refer you to local companies.

Could you tell me a little about your dining experience?

Our meals are based on a Mediterranean inspired diet, with fresh fruits and vegetables. We focus on offering a variety brain healthy meals and offer homemade muffins, fresh fruit smoothies throughout the day.

In addition to the planned meal, we offer an always available menu as well as special diets.
