What makes the chef or dining program at Around the Clock exceptional? What kind of menu can assisted living residents expect?

All meals are home-cooked with as many organic/clean ingredients possible. We are hispanic so some of our best dishes are Mexican dishes. If a resident has a favorite dish we will gladly look up a recipe and cook it up for them.

What safety features or security measures does Around the Clock offer to assisted living residents?

Our home is equipped with the Ring Alarm System. We have sensors on both entrance/exit doors as well as the garage door. Every time any of these doors is opened a loud "chime" is played to alert all staff. After 8 PM we set our alarm to "home and armed" which means an emergency alarm will go off and alert staff if anyone opens an exit/entrance door. We also store all kitchen knives/scissor in a locked cabinet in the kitchen to ensure safety of all residents/staff.

Depending on the amount of notifications you'd like to receive, we will text you pictures/texts showing you how your loved one is doing/what they are up to throughout the day.
