What Makes Us Different
What makes us different from the larger Assisted Living Facility?
Staff ratio
2 caregivers take care of a maximum of six residents (during the busiest hours of the day). A third caregiver will focus exclusively on activities. After bedtime we reduce to one staff. Other ALF’s can operate with 8 to 12 residents per staff member.
Staffing hours
We operate with 276 caregiver hours per week for our 6 residents even though our license only requires 212 hours. We have chosen to provide the additional hours for the safety and benefit of our residents.
Consistency in care from familiar faces
Our staff develops more meaningful relationships with the residents. They are also able to get to better understand the residents’ needs and how we can meet their needs effectively.
More consistent toileting and night time supervision
We assist residents with toileting every 2 to 3 hours decreasing UTI’s and incontinence.
We are not just home like
We are a REAL home environment in a residential neighborhood.
Smaller footprint of building
Advantages are that 1) it is easier to create a secure environment for the residents 2) less stressful stimulus for the resident 3) no long hallways to travel to meals and activities.
Meals and grocery shopping
All our meals our home cooked, using locally produced meats and vegetables, whenever possible. We use Trader Joe’s and Detwiller’s to buy our groceries, where we have found the quality of the food to be superior to the larger chain grocery stores.
Catered activities
We cater our activities to each individual’s current and past likes and hobbies.
Simplicity of flat fee
No “a la carte” pricing of optional services.
We are smaller
Smaller management hierarchy make management more accessible with open lines of communication at all times.
