At Ethan Place, the philosophy centers around assisting residents with their identified needs rather than "doing for" them, which fosters a sense of personal autonomy and enhances overall well-being. The environment has been thoughtfully designed to minimize disorientation and encourage a sense of calm, helping each resident find enjoyment and comfort in daily life. With a minimum age requirement of 55, Ethan Place ensures that their residents are capable of self-evacuating in emergency situations, providing a safe and supportive setting for seniors at this important stage of life.
The admission process at Ethan Place is notably thorough, involving a comprehensive assessment of each individual’s physical, cognitive, and social needs. This assessment is coupled with a detailed review of medical history and includes consultations with healthcare providers and family members, ensuring that every care plan is truly personalized. The staff at Ethan Place recognizes the importance of familiar surroundings in promoting comfort, so new residents are encouraged to bring their own furnishings, photos, and mementos to make their living space feel like home.
Ethan Place stands out for its commitment to adapting care as residents' needs change over time. If a resident’s health requirements become more intensive, the staff works closely with families to facilitate a seamless transition, leveraging established relationships with various nursing homes, hospitals, and home care agencies. This network ensures that residents continue to receive the appropriate level of care, whether it remains within the community or necessitates coordination with other trusted facilities.
Family involvement is highly valued and encouraged at Ethan Place. Family members play an ongoing role in shaping each resident’s experience, providing information that helps tailor services to personal preferences. Families are welcome to participate in daily life, whether sharing meals, joining outings, or spending time together in the comfort of the facility. Residents maintain the freedom to come and go with their families, allowing for a sense of autonomy and connection to loved ones. Visiting protocols are in place to ensure the well-being of every resident, with scheduled visits designed to balance time with privacy and security.
