Generations at Lake Miona is a small senior living home that holds up to six residents at a time, offering a close, family-style setting where people can get to know each other and staff can pay attention to everyone's needs. The home provides both assisted living and memory care services for seniors, focusing especially on those with dementia or Alzheimer's. Trained caregivers give help with daily things like bathing, dressing, moving around, and taking medicine, and they're always awake and close by day and night for emergencies or just for everyday help. The staff is trained in dementia care and includes a neuropsychologist, a licensed Nurse Practitioner, and a home health team, all watching out for each resident's health needs, checking on blood pressure and weight on a regular basis.
People who live here can choose between private and semi-private rooms, all furnished, with their own space to relax in, and the home provides both all-inclusive rent and different living options like studios and one-bedroom apartments, depending on what suits each person best. The building has safety features such as keypad entries, fire and smoke alarms, a sprinkler system, and video monitoring, with a privacy fence going all the way around the property to keep people safe and let them enjoy being outside worry-free in a well-kept backyard, patio, or community garden. Staff keep the home clean and tidy, doing regular laundry and housekeeping so residents can feel comfortable.
Meals are served in a kitchen dining room or sometimes outside when the weather's nice, with three healthy, dementia-friendly meals and extra snacks or drinks always available. A licensed dietitian plans meals to fit any special needs, like gluten free, vegetarian, vegan, kosher, low or no sodium, and low sugar for people with diabetes. Activities take place every day, such as games, music, movies, and group events, and they make time for hobbies and personal interests with special programming for residents with mild cognitive issues, aiming to help keep minds active. Staff look after people who have trouble moving or using the bathroom and also help with incontinence care, making sure everyone's treated with respect.
The home allows residents to use phones, internet, and even video calls to stay close with their families, and they offer extra services like haircuts, manicures, massage therapy, and dry cleaning right in the home. Transportation is arranged for doctor trips, community outings, or shopping, and the community offers recreation spaces like a game room, a small library, a fitness room, a spa, and social areas for visiting. Visitors can spend time in indoor or outdoor semiprivate spaces, and family councils meet every few months to keep everyone involved and informed about care. The home's recognized as a Best of Senior Living community and has won awards for activities and friendliness. Pets aren't allowed, though. Generations at Lake Miona aims to give each person a secure, homelike setting with personal attention, steady health monitoring, and a safe, cozy place to live.
