A secure and comfortable residence for seniors needing maximum care and attention
Our Special Care Unit (SCU) is a safe, highly-staffed wing for residents assessed with greater cognitive and physical limitations. It allows our residents to “age in place” and avoid most long-term nursing home placements. Although it specializes in meeting the needs of those with dementia, it also services those residents who also require extra physical support. We provide our SCU residents with highly trained staff, and an abundant resident-to-staff ratio, so they receive the care and attention they need:
- Three appetizing, healthful meals a day, including special diets ordered by a physician, served in our beautifully appointed dining room
- Snacks and beverages between meals
- Nursing oversight 24 hours a day
- Assistance with personal care as needed including bathing, dressing, toileting, grooming, walking, transferring from bed to a wheelchair, and eating
- Medication assistance and administration
- Housekeeping services
- Linen and personal laundry
- Transportation to medical appointments
- Coordinated health care services
- Specialized activity program
- Secure garden area
- Hospice and comfort care as requested
