Touching Lives Adult Day Services sits in Savage, Minnesota, and gives people a supportive place to spend the day with others, helping them feel a part of the community while getting care that fits their needs. The staff includes a licensed RN and other healthcare professionals trained to help with bathing, dressing, transfers, medication management, and all the usual daily activities, so adults who need extra help can get it safely. The facility has 24-hour supervision, emergency call systems, and regular health checks to keep everyone as safe as possible, and the care plans are made for each person according to their own health needs or memory challenges.
People can use the walking paths for some fresh air, join in movie nights, enjoy music and recreational therapy, or spend time in the arts room or living spaces built for gathering and relaxing. There's a barber and salon for grooming, and garden spaces for those who like to be outside. The meals come twice a day plus snacks, with different diets-like diabetic or allergy needs-considered, and laundry as well as dry cleaning gets handled by the staff. Programs focus on both physical and mental well-being, with sensory activities, cultural programs, and therapies, so everyone can stay active and connected.
Touching Lives Adult Day Services can help out families by offering respite care, meaning loved ones can take a needed break knowing their family members are looked after. The place also supports people with chronic conditions or memory issues through its memory care and enhanced assisted living, and private apartments give people a quiet space of their own if they want it. Some services reach into home health care as well, so folks can get help where they need it most. There's a steady effort to honor each person's traditions, cultural background, and personal values-staff tries to treat people the way they'd want their own family cared for. Touching Lives is part of a larger group called Touching Lives Communities and works with other related services, showing a history in the field, and it's got a connection to Medcare Products Inc. for things like ceiling lifts and transfer aids, which help with moving people safely. There's been some financial trouble with bankruptcy mentioned, but the focus stays on giving each person attention, safety, and respect during the day.
