On behalf of all the professionals and caregivers at LifeServices, we would like to both welcome you to our Community and express our gratitude for considering us as a residence for yourself or your loved
one. We have worked hard to make our unique residential design, our philosophy toward service, and our approach to quality care represent what we have learned is important to older
adults and their families in our twenty-five years of service to them.
Older adults have helped us understand how much they value the independence
and the privacy they find living in their own home. That’s why we provide our residents “apartment homes” rather than “patient rooms” and why each resident who is part of
our Community is provided support consistent with a formal, individual plan of services and care.
We also know that older adults value their freedom of choice as to how they live their life. As you tour our Community, we encourage you to watch for the ways that we respect and enhance our residents’ right of choice in so many aspects of our
daily routine. You may see it expressed in the broad range of apartment homes’ selection available to you. Or perhaps in our Community’s Dining Menu that offers selections of entrees each
and every day. Or in the absence of visiting hours so that residents, families, and friends can come and go as they choose. Or even in our daylong schedule of resident and family
activities. Because it’s home.
As a society, we can be proud that we once created nursing homes in order that our elders were assured of access to the
care that they needed. Yet, try as we might to provide quality care, institutions have become a less than dignified alternative for most everyone who needs long term care. Our communities’
design, coupled with our trained and qualified staff, can now care for many to most of those same seniors. And we can do so in a manner that enhances our residents’ dignity. Something as
simple as their own personal key to their apartment home. Their own private mailbox. Something so fundamental and so important as a private bathroom for each and every resident.
And, most importantly, trained caregivers that can quietly and privately provide them all of the assistance they need to live a quality life.
Best of all, we can offer this lifestyle and care alternative for a
simple, monthly fee affordable to most everyone. No longer do families have to face the financial nightmare the prospect of placing a loved one in an institution brings. We are most
pleased that we can provide you or your loved one a private apartment home and all of the services needed for about 50% of what a typical nursing home bed costs today. Our residents,
rather than exhausting their life savings in a matter of months in an institution, can find real value in our Community with one, simple monthly fee.
We encourage you to ask questions and speak openly with our trained Retirement Counselors, Community Directors, and
Registered Nurse Care Managers. This is an important life decision and they are part of our Community to help you.
Thank you for considering a LifeServices’ Community!
