There are resident and family councils, and the facility coordinates care with community partners like hospice, podiatry, audiology, eye care, and dental offices. The staff reports low percentages for pain and pressure sores and follows programs for infection control, vaccinations, and fall prevention, without resorting to physical restraints unless they're absolutely necessary. Residents take part in devotionals and recreation, and the facility is not listed as a special focus facility or continuing care community, but is owned by a group that runs several homes like this. The environment focuses on safety, health support, and dignity for people at all levels of care, especially those who have higher medical needs or memory care requirements.
