Special Needs Residential Living Services
Along with physical ailments and an increased risk of illness and falls, the mental capabilities of loved ones can be severely affected with age. Many nursing home facilities now offer specially designed services that address the needs of patients with dementia and Alzheimer’s.
We understand that providing care to an Alzheimer’s client can be painful and difficult especially when the caregivers are friends and family. The Todd Cardin Nursing Home facility has been specially designed to provide a safe and supportive environment for people that are no longer of their full mental capabilities at all times. A professional staff is available at all times that have been thoroughly trained in the needs of clients suffering from memory problems, dementia, and Alzheimer’s. Services provided are focused on keeping a client’s privacy intact.
Because of the nature of mental conditions, it is often necessary to create an extremely personalized plan of care that focuses on the behavioral and physical issues of a client. It is also necessary to take into account life history and habits when creating successful service plans and daily routines for your loved ones. We want to make the transition from day to day as smoothly as possible while keeping the clients happy and as independent as possible. It is very important for these clients to feel safe and secure in order to reduce any stress that may cause fear, pain, or confusion.
The special services provided at Todd Cardin Nursing Homes revolve around our residents in order to provide a structured routine every day of the week while supporting and encouraging the use of any remaining skills the client possesses. The staff is trained in methods that allow them to know how to handle a range of difference situations and problems that may arise when working with the mentally impaired. Professional staff also understands that it is extremely important to be creative, understanding, and compassionate. Working with each person on an individual basis allows for different activities to be implemented that would benefit our client.
There is even an eating program available at the nursing home dining room. This dining program has been created with the help of a dietician and gerontologist in order to create a healthy and safe eating environment. The client’s ability to enjoy social meals in a dining room setting is kept intact by meeting any special culinary needs and by providing consistent table placements, music, and personal assistance.
