Physical Needs Is Just The Start
We strive to stimulate our residents on many levels. So our care plans include physical activity, mental challenge, socialization, independence and lots of fun.
The 'Whole' Person Matters
Most families who come to us are searching for help with the physical care of their loved one - a senior who needs assistance with completing some of the personal tasks of everyday life. They are happy when they realize we can step in (right away) and assist with all the physical demands. What a huge relief!
Then, for many, comes a bit of a surprise. We may catch people off guard when we start addressing other issues that are very important for adding more quality into their loved one's life:
- Personal Preferences (resident & family)
- Social Stimulation
- Physical Activity
- Dietary Needs & Likes/Dislikes
- Spiritual Beliefs & Support
- Health care needs
Our Residents Deserve Our Best
Our goal is to develop a care plan that is specific to each individual and encompasses the "whole" person. (Seasons is not a people warehouse.) We believe that each resident, no matter what their physical or mental capacity, still deserves to be cared for as a unique human being...with services that meet their many needs, an understanding that they are living life as best they can, and a deep respect for the special person who has come to live with us.
Here's How We Do It
Developing and implementing 'Personal' Care plans takes a team effort. Here is how we build teamwork into the care we provide at Seasons.
- Ask for the family's input on habits, likes/dislikes, abilities, etc.
- Review the medical information with our nurse and design the care management and medication management plans.
- Review the individual needs with our caregivers and organize the daily, personal care.
- If the resident requires hospice care, we meet with the hospice team leader and review their plan.
- Review the resident's interests and abilities with our Activity Director and develop an activity plan.
- Review the dietary information with our chef and create a dietary plan.
