Our building is secured by only offering one entrance to and from the community. The community is also locked from 8pm-8am with access via the staff. Staffing on-site 24 hours a day.
How does Overlook Green keep residents' families informed about their loved ones?
Families are regularly informed of condition changes, medication changes, physician orders initiated and/or changed by the 24 hour medical personnel in the building or via their Primary Care Physicians. We work closely with Therapy companies, Durable medical companies, home health agencies and hospice agencies to collaborate and provide the best possible care for your loved one.
What is the care staff-to-resident ratio at Overlook Green during daytime and nighttime hours?
Our staffing is regulated by the Department of Health & Human Services on a daily basis. We pride ourselves in not only having enough staff, but in having more than we are required to on any given day or night.
If Overlook Green accepts dogs or cats, what indoor/outdoor areas can they enjoy?
We are a pet friendly community, however the resident must be able to care for their own pet. Dogs and cats must remain on a leash if out of the resident's room and are not allowed in any areas where eating is taking place.
What ongoing senior care training does the staff receive?
All staff at Overlook Green receive required State trainings on a monthly basis, as well as many Five Star trainings provided by our parent company pertinent to their positions. Five Star also encourages personal growth through a Tuition Reimbursement program, an Executive Director mentor program and many other opportunities available to employees.
What safety features or security measures does Overlook Green provide to protect residents who wander?
We do offer wander- guard bracelets for those residents requiring a bit more supervision. These bracelets alarm the staff when the resident approaches a door leading to the outside. Construction of the new Bridge To Rediscovery Memory Care Unit is expected to be completed in January 2018. This is a completely secure unit in which it's residents are able to wander indoors and outside (weather permitting) without worry or harm.
