Services

Identifying the basic and complex needs of the elderly is a process that has to be carried out with the help of experienced nursing professionals. RN case managers act as backbones in effectively implementing care at Abelia Senior Home.

Some of their tasks include:

• Assessment of patients
• Development of personalized care plans
• Updating and revision of personalized care plans
• Keeping track of medical records
• Oversee the implementation of care plans
• Communicate resident’s needs

For seniors and families seeking our services, talking with RN case managers is the first step to accessing quality adult foster care.

Even before care recipients are admitted to our foster home, they undergo a series of nursing assessments and evaluations so we can identify their needs. An individual personalized care plan is designed to respond to the unique needs of each resident.

 

Senior residents differ in the level of care they need. RN case managers at Abelia Senior Homes ensure that each care plan contains services that are aimed at addressing the specific needs of residents.

At Abelia Senior Homes, we take into consideration the individual needs of residents and work to improve their living conditions. Our care providers live with the residents and they are available for 24 hours to respond when concerns arise.

 

24-hour care satisfies routine tasks that have to be carried out on specific schedules as recommended in the specialized care plan of each resident, such as medication reminders, snacks, and wound care.

Given the changes that a person’s body undergoes when aging, special diet plans are implemented at Abelia Senior Homes to supplement the dietary requirements of residents. Three nutritionally-balanced meals are served every day and nutritious snacks are given between or after meals.

 

Ingredients are cleaned, handled, and stored properly to prevent contamination that may compromise the health of residents.

Near-accuracy in the preparation of liquid medications and adherence to schedules are concerns that seniors face when preparing their own medication. To address these, we facilitate medication supervision to ensure they receive the right doses.

 

We work together with physicians and pharmacists to monitor the maintenance medications of seniors and keep track of their health progress.

Keeping the home well-maintained is essential for the health of seniors. Our care providers ensure this is possible by encouraging residents to take part in maintenance tasks that will promote their independence. Care providers supervise housekeeping tasks and implement modifications that are aligned with the needs of residents.

Call buttons are safety and emergency devices used by seniors to alert care providers of their vulnerable state. At Abelia Senior Homes we secure call buttons in every room. They are located in areas seniors can easily reach.

During meals, residents who experience difficulty in feeding themselves are assisted by caregivers while those who are still able to are encouraged to eat on their own to promote their independence.

 

Meals are served in portion sizes that are easy to swallow to avoid choking. Under the guidance of each resident’s care plan, feeding may take place in the rooms or the dining area depending on the physical capacity of the residents.

As a basic form of care, personal care is one aspect of a person’s life that has to be accomplished every day to maintain proper health and hygiene. Each resident’s care plan will indicate his or her need for personal care assistance.

 

Assistance in personal hygiene and grooming is one of the first services carried out daily. This ensures that seniors start their day right and are safe from the threats of hygiene-related diseases.

Safe and reliable transportation service is vital in ensuring the comfort of residents as they head toward doctor’s appointments. Their need for specific health-related services outside the senior home will be indicated in their care plans. By providing accessible transportation to its residents, Abelia Senior Homes can ensure families that their elderly loved ones will be safe and comfortable.

Senior residents take delight in the company of care providers who provide companionship to them. Companion care ensures that seniors are socially engaged to prevent them from being isolated. The nurturing environment at Abelia Senior Homes aims to keep every resident involved and does not leave anyone behind.

 

SPECIALIZED CARE

While the provision of high-quality and cost-effective care is the primary goal of Abelia Senior Homes, it goes beyond its standard services furthering its care for residents who experience chronic conditions or cognitive concerns. Abelia Senior Homes assures the families of residents with the following conditions that their loved ones will be in a safe and caring place.

Seniors who experience symptoms of dementia need a well-structured care plan that covers their essential and special needs.

 

Our care providers recognize the vast amount of patience and understanding that goes with taking care of seniors with dementia. The special care they provide for seniors includes managing sleep problems, assisting in personal care, and providing brain-stimulating and routine tasks.

We understand the struggles of elderlies who have gone through a stroke. And we seek to provide specialized care that focuses on promoting their health and mobility.

 

We provide supervision for their maintenance meds and facilitate opportunities for physical mobility to help them regain physical functionality.

Abelia Senior Homes provides specialized care for seniors who are experiencing mental health challenges. Seniors who are unmotivated may withdraw from the people around them and experience social isolation and depression. When mental health is at stake, it leads to unhealthy sedentary behaviors that contribute to negative effects on the life of seniors.
With our care, seniors will be provided with more opportunities to engage socially and confide in a healthy support system.

The Community Health Care for Adults and Elders with Developmental Disabilities Research and Training funded by the Washington State Developmental Disabilities Council describes developmental disability as a condition that causes significant functional impairment in certain life areas, such as independent living, self-care, and expressive language.

 

It has sought to clear misconceptions about the elderly with a developmental disability, and promote understanding that:

-Many individuals with developmental disabilities have only mild disabilities.
-Some of them who have severe physical deficits are cognitively intact.
-Primary care physicians interact with several developmentally disabled patients in their practice.
-Most care needs of elders with a developmental disability are the same as other elders.

Drawing from these notions, Abelia Senior Homes aims to support seniors with developmental disabilities by providing a carefully-structured care plan where their daily goals are met and their health is preserved. We believe that having a developmental disability must not be a reason for the elders to be marginalized when it comes to home care.

Elders with Parkinson’s disease experience various motor- and mobility-related concerns, such as shaking, difficulty in balance and coordination, and difficulty in walking and talking. Care providers of elderlies with Parkinson’s Disease must know the importance of proper medication timing and providing ongoing support.

 

Here at Abelia Senior Homes, we take into consideration the daily struggles of seniors with Parkinson’s Disease and aim to promote their daily functioning while recognizing their unique needs and implementing precautions for their safety.
