Exploring Assisted Living with Your Patient
As a healthcare provider, you may be the one of the first people to discuss the need for assisted living with an aging patient. In fact, families may look to you for your advice on the need for care at home or in a senior community, and may ask that you join the initial conversations with a parent about assisted living.
We are dedicated to partnering with you to provide quality care for your patient, which is just one of the reasons Enlivant is a preferred choice for assisted living.
The Enlivant Approach to Assisted Living
Enlivant offers compassionate care with support for activities of daily living (ADLs) in an intimate community setting. We provide attentive, individualized care that enables residents to thrive in body, mind, and spirit. For every new resident, we complete a thorough health assessment, which provides the starting point for an individual care plan. In every assisted living community, care is delivered by a full-time registered nurse and a team of Resident Care Partners. Our communities are staffed around the clock, and the registered nurse in each assisted living community is available 24 hours a day to provide clinical oversight and coordination of care.
Our care includes:
- Assistance with activities of daily living, including dressing, bathing, and dining
- Meals and snacks every day, with a dietician supervised-menu
- Nursing oversight
- Care for chronic conditions like diabetes
- Medication management
- Housekeeping and laundry
- Apartment maintenance and repairs
Many Enlivant communities also coordinate with physicians and other health professionals to provide onsite services. We assist residents with mild cognitive impairments and memory loss in their day-to-day activities and offer programming to meet their individual needs and interests. In some Enlivant communities, we do provide secured special care dementia units.
