Our professional staff is trained to recognize and adapt to those changing needs. Functional and cognitive needs assessments are done regularly to update each resident care plan to appropriately address and adequately meet the needs of our residents. Our residents are generally able to remain in our homes through the end of their lives; hospice provides a great deal of assistance during that time.
We work closely with a number of home health and rehabilitation agencies in the area. Upon a doctor’s recommendation, the agency of your choice will come to the home, assess the resident’s needs, and perform these services in home. Often, this is paid for under the resident’s Medicare benefits.
All staff are QMAP (Qualified Medication Administration Person) certified and trained in proper administration of medications. The QMAP is a strictly regulated program for Assisted Living here in Colorado.
