Question 1

How does Sailorway Place - CLOSED keep residents' families informed about their loved ones?

Each month there is a family newsletter with helpful articles, monthly menus, monthly activities and updates on staff. There is also a monthly "open" meeting that our Assisted Living Director hosts where people can attend in person or via telephone to ask questions and express concerns. Further, 4 times per year there is a family care conference with our Director of Nursing and family members. Phone calls are always welcome to the owner, the Assisted Living Director and the Director of Nursing.

Question 2

What makes the chef or dining program at Sailorway Place - CLOSED exceptional? What kind of menu can assisted living residents expect?

Accepted Answer

In many other places of choice, the chef is cooking for 50+ residents. At Sailorway Place our licensed food director is cooking for 5. Straight away a new resident (and family) is asked what the individual likes to eat and what they DO NOT like to eat. We center our menu around what our residents enjoy eating, and if there ever was something an individual did not find worthy, sandwiches, soups and salads are always available. Meals are the #1 thing that folks complain about and it is rare that we have complaints.

At night there is one awake staff member.

The house is in a residential area and all the doors have locks on them. The front door turn lock was replaced with a remove the key deadbolt, and the door to the mud room (that exits to the garage and is our med room) has a combination pad that only staff have the code to open the door. There are also security cameras in the common spaces.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Our ratios are the number one thing that helps with wandering. Our staff is on hand and has the residents in their site. But let's say that one of the residents wants to go to their private bedroom to rest after lunch. If that person is a wanderer or a fall risk the above mentioned prevention tactics would be implemented: ie. bed alarms, room monitors, and the common video camera in the hallway.

Question 11

What programs or activities does Sailorway Place - CLOSED offer to enrich residents' well-being?

Accepted Answer

First, Sailorway Place has an activities director that plans a fun game or activity each day. Activities include: Bingo (of course), painting/coloring, word searches, exercise time, fun games, board games, and many more. Second, because Sailorway is licensed for only 5 individuals we know what each resident is capable of doing, ie, someone with memory challenges might not be able to play a simple game of cards but can participate in lots of active games (ballon volleyball for example). We cater to each individual because we know and love each individual.
