    Compassionate care but staffing issues

    I placed my mom here and I value the kind, compassionate staff, faith-based atmosphere, engaging activities, family events and generally homey, well-kept building with good meals. That said, I've noticed staffing shortages, slow responses to calls, shared bathrooms and occasional poor cleaning/loss of personal items and management issues that concern me. Overall the care feels loving and my mom is happy, but check staffing, cleaning and bathroom arrangements before committing.

    About Alternative Assisted Living LLC

    Alternative Assisted Living LLC runs several different types of senior care homes, including adult family homes, small group homes like "60th Ave AFC" and "68th Street," and medium group homes, each with set limits for residents from as few as three to as many as twelve in a single location. Some of these homes, such as "A & R Premiere Care" and "A Better Connection," focus on adult family-style living, letting up to six residents share daily support and personal care services together, and with places that are usually small enough so that it's possible to get to know the other residents and the care staff too, and people don't feel lost in the crowd, and there's trained staff on hand to help with activities of daily living like bathing, dressing, and taking medicine, which can make life a bit easier and safer for everyone there.

    They say they focus on a person-centered approach, looking at what each resident needs, and they write up care plans based on a resident's physical, mental, and emotional health, and besides help with daily tasks, the homes have services like medication reminders, health monitoring, meal preparation including things like diabetic or special diets, and help with moving about through the house or getting around so no one's left struggling by themselves. You'll find rooms set up for comfort and independence, including studio apartments close to dining rooms, and everything's usually furnished and connected for TV, internet, and telephone, so it's easier for residents to reach out to family or relax on their own, and there's a main living room where people gather to chat or watch television as a group if they want company, plus outdoor spaces and gardens for those who like to sit in the fresh air or do a little gardening.

    Alternative Assisted Living LLC has homes that are pet-friendly, which matters to a lot of people, and there are meal options for many different needs, even special diets, plus you get basic things taken care of like housekeeping and laundry, so daily chores don't have to become a worry anymore, and transportation and parking are set aside for appointments or outings, which makes it simpler to get around. Residents take part in community activities, hobbies, religious services held off-site for those who want that, and social events scheduled so there's always something to do and people to meet, and those who need memory care for Alzheimer's and dementia get supervised support in secure surroundings set up to lower confusion and stop wandering, with 24-hour care and programs aimed at helping memory and keeping minds active.

    For people needing more medical attention or even round-the-clock nursing, Alternative Assisted Living LLC works with other places such as Springvale Assisted Living & Memory Care and Holiday Genesee Gardens to offer skilled nursing care, rehabilitation, and wound care, and respite care is available so families get a break when they need it. The homes serve both more independent seniors who just want a maintenance-free life with some support, as well as those needing more help because of health or memory issues, and the living spaces, whether small family homes or larger group homes, always aim for a safe, friendly environment with staff close by for supervision and help, and meals, company, and activities all included, making life as simple and pleasant as possible for residents.
