The care you’ve been waiting for

We are a private duty nurse (PDN) adult family home (AFH). This means we take residents that are ventilator dependent. Our staff was specifically chosen to consist of people with skill sets to better help ventilator dependent clientele. Ventilator dependent residents have specific needs which includes but is not limited to helping them with their airway management, tube feeds and special dietary needs, bowel regime, catheter and ostomy care, complicated wound care, mobility and skin care needs.

There is a musician that comes once a month. We have found that most of our residents find this is their favorite activity. There are also plenty of games available: bingo, monopoly, checkers, chess. Also included are arts and crafts - making seasonal decor and holiday cards, drawing and coloring. Lastly (and our favorite) are movie days! We choose some favorites and provide plenty of snacks from the classical popcorn and soda to fruit and veggies trays to smoothies (whatever we can do to work around our resident’s diets and make their experience enjoyable).

With views like that we try to provide as much outdoor time as possible. The residents can choose either the front porch which is fully covered or back deck. We also set up a small table nearby so that they can have their items next to them (phone, book, snacks) and make sure they are warm and comfortable. Our residents have often commented that they enjoy seeing a variety of birds, butterflies and squirrels on the grounds of our facility. Depending on the season, they can also enjoy seeing all the flowers bloom and in the fall leaves change colors.

Our in house chef works with all dietary preferences and needs to make sure that every resident gets delicious meals made just for them. Nutrition is a vital part of health and healing, which means it is a top priority for us as well. Whether it’s an allergy, food preference, special diets ordered by physician or just a request we work with each resident on an individual basis.

Yes! That includes clothing, towels and bedding. We wash, dry and iron if needed.

Visiting hours are from 9 am to 6 pm but this is subject to change depending on state and department of health regulations and guidelines.

We are STRICTLY a non-smoking facility (including facility grounds). This includes cigarettes, cigars, vaping, chew/snuff, etc.

Due to the unique medical needs that our medical patients have, we do not allow pets inside our facility. Pets are only allowed for outside visits.

We always have a registered nurse, respiratory therapist and caregiver on site at all times. Besides that we have a second registered nurse on call at all times in case one of the residents needs more one on one care or if we have a new resident move in. Safety of our residents and staff is our number one priority!

We have top quality care items from Tena (wipes, barrier ointments, briefs) but will accommodate resident preferences as much as possible. We also have some of the best reclining shower chairs, ceiling lifts, hoyers, commodes, and wheelchairs that are on the market. This helps ease any discomfort that a resident might experience with transfers and mobility.

In addition to that, we have a licensed barber and a nail technician come in once a month. The resident can choose to have their hair cut and styled. And the nail technician provides manicures and pedicures including a massage and color. Our diabetic clients get their foot care done by a registered nurse but can choose to have their nails colored by the nail technician.

Best of all are the birthday and holiday celebrations! We decorate and set up the dining room, cook a meal for the resident’s guests and celebrate the birthday person. It brings us great joy to see our residents happy and healthy!
