Executive Summary

Service Mission: E-Assisted Living Services Overview

Overview

It is often said that the value and meaning of a civilization can be determined from the record it leaves in the form of architecture and that the true measure of the compassion and civility of a society lies in how well it treats its frail older people. Assisted living is special combination of housing, supportive services and healthcare designed to respond to the individual needs of those who require help with the activities of daily living and instrumental activities of daily living. Supportive services are available, 24 hours a day, to meet scheduled and unscheduled needs, in a way that promotes maximum dignity and independence for each resident and involves the resident's family, neighbors and friends.

One way to think of assisted living is to think of it as housing with a strategic collection of services. Thus, the availability of a range of services, more than anything else defines the level of assistance available. The core services should be: Three meals per day Housekeeping service Assistance with basic ADLs Personal laundry Snacks Medication assistance Escort service within the building Wellness activities Assistance with bathing Beauty/barber shop services Emergency call system Linen service Special diets Transportation to shopping Access to auto/van Toileting assistance Transportation to medical appointments Respite care Incontinence management Nursing services Licensed to administer meds Weekly health checkup Physical therapy The core activities for residents are: Talking or conversing Watching TV Listening to music Reading and writing Spiritual/religious Card and other games Trips and shopping Walking and wheeling outdoors Crafts/art Exercise sports Helping others Doing chores around the house/community Dancing Gardening plants Visitors allowed anytime Overnight guests Leave w/o obtaining permission Community pets Resident owned pets Alcohol Smoking in designated areas
