Services may include moderate assistance with the activities of daily living and special assistance as required.
Catered Living is the answer to questions like: "What do I do when I need a little extra help?" and "i'm not ready for assisted living but my spouse needs more care." It is the perfect option to diminish the chance you will have to move again.
Assisted Living Services -The National Center for Assisted Living defines Assisted Living as a service performed in a congregate residential setting that, "provides or coordinates personal services, 24-hour supervision and assistance (scheduled and unscheduled), activities, and health-related services." Clinical services are provided through our licensed, Class F home care agency.
Assistive Technology - This non-intrusive method of monitoring consists of wireless sensors placed throughout the apartment to detect contact and movement by the resident. By sensing whether a resident is opening their kitchen cabinets or refrigerator, or lying in bed, or moving about the room, staff and family members can check for safety concerns while maintaining a resident's sense of privacy and integrity. Information from the sensors is relayed to a secure web portal and viewed privately on computers located at the nursing station and in family homes. This new tool assists staff and family members by ensuring a response to falls and by recording date on eating habits and other healthcare issues.
