Medical and Personal Care
The loving hands of caring professionals work each day to ensure the optimum health and safety of our residents. Medical and personal care is provided by a nurse and personal caregiving assistants. Coordination of services with outside health care providers, supervision and assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs), and the monitoring of residents’ health are all part of the medical and personal care services provided.

We understand our residents may need extra help with their daily living activities. Whether its mobility, personal hygiene, or orientation, our personal care staff is highly trained and available to respond compassionately to our residents’ needs.
Mobility
Mobility can be a challenge for some of our residents. All walkers and wheelchairs are acceptable; however, it is the responsibility of each resident to provide individual mobility devices. If needed, our staff is available to transfer residents to their mobility instruments, as long as it can be done easily by one person. Caregivers are happy to assist residents to the dining room, activities, bathroom, and other places.
Daily Living Activities
Assisted living residents must be able to travel to our dining room for their meals and feed themselves. Caregivers assist residents with many other daily routines of life, as long as it can safely be done by one person. Personal care may involve activities, such as: bathing, grooming, personal hygiene and dressing.
Incontinence
Our staff is aware of the sensitive nature of incontinence. We understand an occasional problem happens. Residents needing this service daily must wear protection. Our caregiving staff assists in toileting throughout the day to prevent accidents from happening. Help in clean up and changing are provided when necessary. A personalized incontinence program can be developed to help residents avoid accidents completely.

Help is given to residents with cognitive impairments. Caregivers offer cheerful reminders throughout the day to direct residents to the correct destination and times for meals and activities. Reminders are also given for personal hygiene. The staff works to minimize confusion while compassionately supporting the resident.
