Last year I spent a year at Alfred House,an assisted living facility. The lack of structured activities caused many residents to become complacent. Therefore complacency can lead to a decrease in mental capacity or possible depression. The expression "if you don't use it you loose it"
is often the case in a few assisted living homes. Medication often causes people to become drowsy if not exposed to some type of stimulation. Food with too much starch and excessive salt can in some cases causes obesity and hypertension. My firsthand experience has made me appreciate the need for volunteering,which is a plan for the future.

About AlfredHouse II
There's no place like home. This old adage is true in every stage of life, but perhaps even more so, as we age. However, when staying home is no longer an option, AlfredHouse offers a warm home away from home, where each resident is cared for with personal attention.
AlfredHouse has been serving the community since 1992. Our deeply held values of love and respect for elders are rooted in childhood memories of falling asleep in the lap of my beloved grandmother. These are the values on which we have built AlfredHouse; they are the core of our paradigm of care and our services.
At AlfredHouse, we believe that the foundation of great care rests on generous numbers of capable, committed and trained direct-care staff. That is why we staff with 1 caregiver for every 4 residents - even though the national staffing average in assisted living is 1:14. Abundant staffing with well-trained, experienced caregivers, allows us to offer the safety, service, care and consideration you expect and deserve. Surely, this is what makes AlfredHouse unique and superior.
