Residents' health and cognitive functioning is first assessed by our RN. However, it is a team approach as our Generations and Assisted Living team members receive annual dementia training to recognize early warning signs of memory impairments. In collaboration with our residents, their physicians, specialists and family members, we discuss and update the resident's care plan in accordance with their needs. Our Generations residents are re-assessed on a quarterly basis, when there is a change in status or discharge from a medical facility and return to the community.

Scheduled local transportation for medical appointments, shopping excursions and field trips. Our bus can transport 14 residents including space for 2 wheelchairs.

Our Generations Memory Care Program is designed to engage, stimulate, and empower our Generation residents. First, our Culinary Creations signature programs focuses on preparing recipes from the past. From the color of our dishware to special weighted utensils, if needed, to the presentation of our dishes, each one entices the sight, smell and palate of our residents. Healthy, chef-prepared entrees, made from scratch, are adapted to meet the dietary needs of our residents without compromising appearance or taste. Utilizing molds, modified diets are provided to our residents resembling the food they are eating. Of course, person-centered reminders and redirection, when necessary, are techniques our team utilizes to insure our residents maintain their health and wellness through nutrition.

Much like we do for our Assisted Living residents, we utilize all forms of communication with our residents' families, from phone calls, in-person meetings, text messages, emails and mail via the USPS. In addition, we may FaceTime or do video chats with family members. We also capture videos or pictures of residents to share with their families. Supplementary to formal modes of communication for individual resident updates, we share community updates on our website and social media pages, in addition to a community newsletter.
