The home is fully licensed and offers both private suites and shared rooms, each with a private bathroom, air-conditioning, and kitchenettes, and it's all furnished so new residents don't need to bring much. Meals are prepared with organic ingredients, and both vegetarian options and well-balanced daily meals are part of the routine, which helps promote health and wellness for everyone living there. Housekeeping, linen services, and a 24-hour call system help keep things running smoothly, while round-the-clock supervision and on-call staff support residents at any time of the day or night.
Giselle's Care Home serves seniors needing help with daily personal care, medication management, and activities of daily living, as well as folks who need assisted living or specialized memory care for Alzheimer's and other dementias. The memory care program offers secure spaces, tailored care plans, and daily activities focused on cognitive health. The facility is wheelchair accessible with showers to help residents keep their independence. For those with advanced care needs, incontinence care, high acuity care, and support for non-ambulatory residents are also available, and hospice care can be arranged for those who need extra comfort.
The home uses care coordination cards and allows visitor access as part of health management, and healthcare is supported by state and federal programs, including the Affordable Care Act and HRSA health centers. Residents get access to a health library with information on different medications, medical tests, procedures, and health topics, plus interactive tools like a symptom checker and behavioral health recovery centers. There's a network of care for seniors and people with disabilities, and a community resources program helps connect residents to more support services.
The layout encourages socialization, with indoor and outdoor common areas, onsite activities, and devotional services for those who want them, along with an onsite beautician. Transportation to medical and dental appointments is complimentary, and extra rides can be arranged for a fee. There's daily scheduling of fun, social, and educational activities, which are meant to keep residents active and connected. Technology like phone, internet, and cable service is available, letting residents stay in touch and entertained. The quiet, home-like environment makes it easier for residents to form close bonds with caregivers and one another, which often suits people who prefer not to live in large, busy communities.
