We have a Memory Care Director as well as Director of Nursing who can assess Residents. The assessments are ongoing. Staff, aides, managers, and even Genesis can communicate any changes to the Director as our Residents are our first priority. When a Resident decides to move to our community, an assessment must be done to determine the level of care. The directors will provide another assessment within 90 days after move-in, after that the assessments are ongoing. We are assessed at least every 6 months but again as the needs change the assessment can be changed as well.
