Each apartment is equipped with emergency pull cords as are the common areas throughout the building. When the pull cord is activated, the message goes to the pager and the information center. An on-duty professional responds. We also provide security checks during the sleeping hours and have 24 hour professional on-site staff. Access to 911 is also available.
Our professional staff is on duty 24 hours a day to provide assistance with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, grooming and ambulation. Up to 1 1/2 hours of assistance a day is provided based on your personalized service plan. Medication reminders are also available.
Our full-time Activities Directors, their staff, and volunteers provide a wide range of social, recreational, religious and cultural activities within the assisted living community and outside. Our vans provide outings such as shopping, dining out, baseball games, picnics, foliage tours, theaters and museums. Socializing in our pub is enjoyed by our residents and their guests. Our philosophy of providing a friendly and supportive environment ensures peace of mind to residents and families.
Our inclusive rate includes weekly housekeeping and laundry, including personal laundry. Laundry facilities are available on each floor for those residents who wish to be independent and do their own laundry.
