Newborn's P.C.S. is a senior living community that helps people with memory loss, dementia, and those who need different levels of care, like assisted living, skilled nursing, and continuing care. You'll find different places to live, like detached homes, studio apartments, and even three-bedroom apartments, so there's some choice depending on what's needed or wanted. The place comes with many amenities, and you get spots like a beauty salon, fitness center, ballroom, and billiards lounge, plus rooms for crafts, games, movies, and woodworking. There's a library and computer center, and outside you'll see walking paths, patios, a courtyard, raised garden beds, and special butterfly and hummingbird gardens.
The staff provides care for folks with Alzheimer's and other memory problems and have special devices and security gates, including bracelets and alarms that make sure residents stay safe if they tend to wander. People who need more help-like dressing, bathing, or getting around-get round-the-clock support. Nurses and specialists, even a doctor on call, check on residents and there's help for things like wound care, diabetes, incontinence, and medication management. Physical therapy, speech therapy, and other types of therapy are available right there on site. If a resident only needs a short stay, respite and hospice care options exist too.
For meals, residents eat in large dining rooms or private ones, and meal service is provided for everyone. There's housekeeping, laundry, and even dry cleaning. The place allows both cats and dogs, but they have weight limits and it's sometimes up to the staff, depending on the housing option and situation. Smoking is allowed but only outside. Residents who need to go out for appointments or trips use the complimentary and paid transportation. Parking is available, and the neighborhood feels quiet and homey, with flowers and a nice view of Boise Valley.
For folks who want to be busy, there are weekly activities like card games and bus trips, and there's an arts and crafts center. A person finds a more home-like environment, which helps residents connect better with each other and the staff, who treat people like family and work with a smaller group so they really get to know the residents. Staff members speak a range of languages, including English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, and others, which can help residents feel more comfortable if English isn't their main language. Newborn's P.C.S. has state licenses and certifications, so families know care standards are followed and safety is a priority.
The community helps people with higher care needs, if someone needs lifts or extra help to move around, and is even equipped for residents who might act out or try to leave. Folks can enjoy spending time in the gardens, at the bistro area, or in TV and computer rooms, and if needed, family or friends can arrange short-term stays. The place stays secured, with regular checks and a system to alert staff if someone tries to go somewhere unsafe. There's a sense of quiet, flowers, and nice views for residents to enjoy their days, and the community tries to let everyone stay as their needs change with aging.
