GHS 4 is a community living arrangement that covers a range of senior living options, including independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care, and board and care homes for small groups. The facility's part of a group known as GHS facilities and offers its own specific care programs and amenities. GHS 4 provides medical and personal help for people who need both regular support and complex health care, and there's round-the-clock supervision and assistance with things like bathing, dressing, transfers, and medication. The staff coordinates care with outside healthcare providers and helps handle hospital readmissions, which are tracked by Medicare and can lead to certain penalties if hospital performance falls short.
Within GHS 4, seniors can age in place, moving between different care types as their needs change-some stay independent with maintenance-free living and resort-style amenities, while others use full skilled nursing, rehabilitation, wound care, or memory care with secure areas for dementia and Alzheimer's. Memory care offers 24-hour support, special programs, and memory-boosting activities. Residents get high-speed Wi-Fi, telephone access in their rooms, and furnished living spaces. Housekeeping keeps rooms clean, laundry and dry cleaning services are available, and a team cooks meals daily, including diabetic and allergy-friendly diets and other nutritional needs. There's a large dining room, daily activities, movie nights, and community events, plus transportation for doctor appointments or outings, parking, and move-in help to make the transition easier.
Outdoors, the gardens and walking paths let residents relax or enjoy fresh air, and all common spaces are maintained for comfort and safety. The GHS 4 community also has an emergency alert system, support for non-ambulatory residents, and special services like coordinated case management, including for those exempted from standard Medicare readmission counts. GHS 4 works as part of a larger nonprofit accreditor for health and human services, with programs like Aging Services, Behavioral Health, and Medical Rehabilitation. Resources for residents and providers include online portals, training manuals, certification processes, survey tools, and feedback instruments like uSPEQ®. Services and care at GHS 4 adapt to what each resident needs, always aiming to help them stay comfortable and supported as they age.
