Our home is a completely remodeled two story older home
and a large new addition with a full basement area.
These three levels are fully used to give our residents
spacious private and shared rooms, and ample room for socializing
with other residents or their visitors.
The large downstairs family room is ideal for residents
to have private family gatherings away from other residential
activities. The comfortable furniture and fireplace make
this a popular room. Some of the bedrooms in the new addition
are close to the great room, and dining area. And
other bedrooms are on the lower level of this addition,
with several rooms in the remodeled part of our home.
We do not have long hallways in our home.

We strive for
a home-like family atmosphere for our residents. Several sizes
of rooms are available to accommodate either a single bed
or a double bed. Most of our rooms are private or single
resident rooms. Some are double rooms for two residents
to share. All residents are encouraged to bring some of
their own furniture and personal items to help them make this
their new home.
Housekeeping, daily laundry and other daily services are provided
by our trained staff for all residents. Our friendly
staff visit with each resident as they go about their routine
each day. |

The residents,
and our staff, benefit from this interaction . Activities
are done thru out the whole house with different activities
at different times. All residents may choose to participate
in structured craft activities. All meals are served on the
main level, spacious, bright dining rooms. The meals are planned
by our own certified head cook and are prepared in house by
our cooking staff. The special diets of each resident
is fit into the meal plan of the day.
The nurses' station is always open. We have a LPN nurse
in house four days a week and a RN one day a week with 24
hour on call RN service. The residents tend to have more confidence
when they know our nursing staff is concerned about their
medical needs.

The nurse on duty supervises all medical prescriptions and
all medically prescribed procedures. Daily and
weekly charts are kept for all residents and are open for
family members to view when requested. Daily activities are
scheduled to provide mobility exercise for the residents.
Everyone is encouraged to participate to their abilities.
These are fun times for the residents to socialize with their
peers.
Our residents have many opportunities to socialize with other
residents during card and bingo games. There are
regular visitors from the community who stop in and join in
the games or quilting activities. When the weather is
nice, our residents enjoy the outdoors and take short walks
around our spacious grounds.
Our residents find meaningful ways to occupy their time.
Some take this opportunity to shred newspapers to be used
as bedding for animals. Others find caring for the house plants
to be an enjoyable past time. There are always many
current papers and magazines available for reading. |
