Borg Pioneer Memorial Home sits at 61 Borg Dr in Mountain, North Dakota, and offers basic care for up to 43 residents, though it mainly has 39 basic care beds. Folks who live here can choose between private suites or shared rooms, each with a private bathroom and kitchenette, and the place comes fully furnished so there's no need to worry about moving heavy furniture. Staff are always on site, day and night, to help with things like bathing, dressing, medication management, and other daily needs. The Director of Nursing or Charge Nurse is Lisa Slaamod, and Suzanne Ashpole serves as the administrator. There's a 24-hour call system so help is never far, and care providers are available for personal care, managing medicines, and making sure everyone's safe. The building has air conditioning, cable TV, internet, and phone service, plus there are indoor common areas and places to gather.
Residents don't have to cook or clean, since meal preparation uses organic ingredients, planned by chefs and meal planners. Meals are meant to be both nutritious and tasty, and housekeeping and linen services are taken care of by the staff. Borg Pioneer Memorial Home provides maintenance-free living, taking the burden off residents when it comes to chores and home management. The facility arranges transportation for doctor's visits and activities and helps with daily living as much or as little as someone wants.
The community has a mix of activities throughout the week, from social and physical to mental and spiritual, and they try to create a least restrictive environment, so people get as much independence as possible. Devotional gatherings and social events, both in and out of the building, are part of daily life, and there's always something to keep people's minds engaged. The staff help people with non-ambulatory care, diabetic care, and incontinence care, plus there's support for folks living with Alzheimer's. While there aren't skilled nursing or specialized care units, Borg Pioneer Memorial Home is set up to meet most needs, including respite care and adult day care services. The facility also uses Facebook and other social media, keeping folks connected with the world outside if that's something they want. The Borg Pioneer Memorial Home's mission centers on helping people keep their dignity and making sure their physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs get attention, and with ties to the North Dakota Long Term Care Association, they stay up to date with care standards.
