DO YOU HAVE NURSES ON STAFF?
Although assisted living regulations vary, Family Extended Care has authorized personnel, including trained supervisors, certified nurses’ assistants, and personal care assistants in the community 24 hours a day. As well as on call physicians’ groups.
DO YOU HAVE A HOUSE PHYSICIAN?
At Family Extended Care we have physicians who frequently visit our community as our resident’s primary care physician, however, residents may continue to see their physicians just as they did before they moved into our communities. We arrange for or provide transportation to and from their local doctor with family companion service as needed.
WHAT IS ASSISTED LIVING?
Assisted living provides each person with just the right amount of care to allow him/her to maintain their independence — all within the comforts of home. Assisted living offers a personalized alternative for seniors who need more assistance in their lives, but do not require the full-time attention associated with costly nursing or home care.
DO I HAVE TO SIGN A LEASE?
Our communities offer month-to-month leases and accommodate short-term respite stays as well as day services.
MAY I BRING MY OWN FURNISHINGS TO MY APARTMENT?
We at Family Extended Care, encourage you to furnish your own apartment, however it is not required. This is your home, and you should have all the comforts and furnishings to which you are accustomed. Enjoy decorating your apartment and entrance to add your own personality to your home with your family at the time of move in.
DO I HAVE TO GIVE NOTICE IF I MOVE OUT?
Yes, we ask that you give us a 30-day notice, as you would with most living accommodations.
WHAT ARE VISITING HOURS?
Living at Family Extended Care is no different than living in your own home—you and your guests are free to come and go as you please. Our only exception is for those residents with memory impairments; access is limited for the protection of our residents.
CAN I LIVE IN ASSISTED LIVING IF I HAVE A WHEELCHAR OR WALKER?
Yes. Higher quality assisted living communities seek to allow residents to remain in the independent, assisted living setting as long as possible, however, Family Extended Care has communities that can accommodate those with a higher level of care. We accept and encourage people who need assistance with ambulation to live with us.
