A Serenity AFH

Our beautiful, warm and cozy house, along with its loving and dedicated owners and staff is offering not only a facility providing care for the elderly but also a HOME. Our experience and style of treating each and every person according to their individual needs make us unique in providing a second family that can be counted on. The owners work and live in the house and they offer complete management and administration of all medications and tasks as allowed by the Nursing Delegation Program (administration of oral and topical medication, inhalers, insulin, oxygen therapy, blood sugar monitoring, crushing medication, etc.) Our staff sit and provide full assistance to residents if needed, engaging in social and conversational activities during the meals. We can accommodate special diets, pureeing foods, assisted feeding, GI tube feeding by Nurse Delegation. We provide standby assists, incontinence briefs, room commodes, clean up and perineal care every time is needed. We know how important mobility is for a person, so we provide assisted physical exercises to encourage the continued strength and endurance of the muscles. We walk with the residents, indoor and outdoors if the weather allows (the facility has a nice and small garden with trees and flowers in the back). We are using "Sit to Stand" and "Hoyerlift" devices but also a two-person assist for the transfer in safe conditions of our residents. Our bed-bound residents are repositioned every 2 or 3 hours but we know that a proper position helps with the comfort of a resident and also promotes healthy blood circulation for everybody. We are providing full assistance with personal hygiene if needed (oral care, shaving, skincare, perineal care, hair care, nails, and toenails care). We encourage and support the personal choice of clothing of our residents, trying to encourage and support them to do as much as they can by themselves.
