Staffed with RN’s and geriatric aides, our health staff can take care of participants’ medical needs. Our nurses administer medications, monitor blood pressure, and provide overall nursing management of chronic medical conditions. Our geriatric aides assist with activities of daily living, helping with personal care related to ambulation and toileting.

With so much hands-on care, it is no wonder that the health staff are often the first to notice physical or cognitive changes in a participant. Regular communication with families and physicians assure that care needs are followed up on swiftly. In addition, nurses lead monthly interactive discussion groups with participants on a variety of health and nutrition topics.
