Life Care Center of Auburn sits in Auburn, MA, and offers health and personal care for older adults. The center provides both independent and assisted living options, which means people can get as much help as they need. There are special programs for Alzheimer's and dementia care, so people with memory concerns have support. Rehabilitation services and skilled nursing take place right on site, with in-house therapists and nurses who make individualized care plans. Some residents come here for sub-acute care, while others need long-term skilled nursing, but everyone has access to an on-site doctor for quicker visits. The rehab team helps each person meet their own goals, and there's even special therapy for Parkinson's disease, using the Lee Silverman Voice Treatment Global's BIG™ and LOUD™ programs.
The center tries to keep residents safe, with falls prevention and steps to limit antipsychotic medications when possible. There are resources like the LTC Mutual Aid Plan (MassMAP), activities with professionals from MassCAP, and regular newsletters and updates for members. The staff offers programs on care transitions, end-of-life support, and changing the culture of care, always focusing on wellness with campaigns like Fight the Flu and Sepsis Smart. Staff get training too, including an RCA training course, and there are career opportunities listed on their job platform. There's an advocacy center that supports fair wages for caregivers, and committee work on policy and regulations helps keep things on track. Prospective residents and families can watch a video tour or look through photos to get a feel for the community, and the facility has a Facebook page for those who want updates. The center provides educational programs, webinars, and simple guidance on how to choose a senior care facility, always keeping health care planning and different care options in mind.
