Exclusive Interview Insights
Our team personally reached out and conducted an insightful interview with this community on Sept. 29, 2023. Here's what we learned:
Staff Member Training and Qualifications
Staff members at the assisted living facility undergo a comprehensive onboarding process that spans two days, during which they are introduced to every department head and learn about the functions of each department. Nurses, CNAs, and caregivers are paired with mentors for shadowing to ensure they are well-equipped to provide care. The facility also emphasizes ongoing training for all staff, including specialized training in resident rights, ombudsman services, and certified dementia care.
Daily Interaction Between Residents and Staff
Residents have frequent interactions with staff members throughout the day. Staff members regularly check on residents in their rooms and engage with them throughout the facility. The community encourages residents to spend time outside of their rooms, fostering a social and active environment.
Building Accessibility and Security
The facility allows residents to come and go as they please, with the simple requirement of signing out when leaving the community. For memory care residents, there is a secured neighborhood within the assisted living facility. Additionally, for those in the nursing home who may wander, pendants are provided to ensure their safety.
Resources for Moving into the Community
The facility collaborates with organizations such as Byron Homes and Parent Packers to assist residents with the transition into the community, making the moving process smoother and more manageable.
Transportation Services
Transportation to physician appointments is provided by the facility. Residents also have access to the Pittman Senior Outreach and the local Pittman bus service for shopping and social trips. The community life staff organize outings for residents, including lunches and visits to popular destinations like the dollar store.
Dining Experience
The dining experience offers flexibility and choice, with residents signing up for a meal plan that only charges them for the meals they consume. Each meal presents two main choices along with a variety of alternate options. This system is similar to a college meal card but operates automatically when residents order their meals.
Resident Complaint Process
Residents can file complaints or express concerns through multiple channels, including a full-time social worker, the resident service director, the executive director, or other staff members. The facility also has a senior advocate from the county who visits and is available to assist residents.
Communication with Residents' Families
The executive director communicates with families via email updates about the facility's status and events. Family and resident town hall meetings are conducted to discuss various topics. The facility uses a system called K4, which allows residents and families to access notices, activity calendars, and meal plans through an app. Additionally, the memory care director issues a newsletter and runs a support group for families.
Respite Care and Short-Term Stays
Respite care is available on a private pay basis, except in the memory care unit due to limited availability. The facility offers different respite rates depending on the level of care required, which includes meals, housekeeping, laundry, and care services.
Pet Policy
Pets are allowed in the facility as long as the resident is capable of taking care of them, ensuring that both the residents and their pets are comfortable and well-cared for.
