If I am interested in a nursing home for my loved one, what is the process of getting them situated in your community?

One of our professional admissions staff will explain the admission process in detail. After an initial evaluation, we will discuss your loved one's medical history with their physician. After that, a full assessment of your loved one is required. If your loved one is indeed a candidate, we will go over the admission contract and work out payment details.

Do you provide transportation to doctor appointments?

Yes. We provide transportation for scheduled visits to the doctor's office.

Are residents allowed to keep their own doctor?

Residents may keep their own physician if they choose. However, to make life easier for family and residents, we have a house physician who will make house calls. It is a great way to lighten the load.

Do you handle resident medications?

Yes. We handle all medications and administer them as ordered by the physician. We will also take care of reordering the medications for the family as well.

How will I or my loved one receive my medications?

Your physician will write orders for the specific medications you are taking. We administer medications according to the physician orders. The medications will be reordered by our nursing staff.

Do you offer house keeping and how much more does it cost?

We offer housekeeping and personal laundry services, once a week, at no extra charge.

Do you offer meals for special diets?

Please inquire regarding your special dietary needs. We offer a full array of specialized diets.

What are the visitation hours?

There are no set visiting hours. Friends and family are welcome to come in anytime they would like. However, our doors are locked at 10:00 p.m. If you would like to visit after hours, a simple call to the front desk is all it takes to be allowed entry.

How do I get cable and phone services established for my loved one

We provide FREE CABLE television. Just plug in your television, and you are ready to go. Please speak with the admissions coordinator about establishing telephone services.

What happens if a resident doesn't feel like going to the dining room to eat?

We encourage all Residents to dine in the dining room for socialization benefits. However, if they simply do not feel like getting out that day, we make sure a hot meal is brought directly to their quarters.
