Avir at Baird is a small, for-profit nursing facility with 74 beds that provides short-term rehabilitation and long-term nursing care, and the place is built to fit several different care needs, particularly for older adults who need help day to day, and the staff pays special attention to anyone with memory issues, so folks with cognitive impairments can get the care they need. Staff develops and follows individualized care plans through an interdisciplinary team, keeping a close watch on food safety, proper nutrition, and regular health and safety checks, and there's compliance with national standards along with participation in both Medicare and Medicaid programs. The care here covers assisted living, memory care, and specialized programs that have their own names, like "Avir" features at Baird, with services that help with bathing, dressing, medication management, and meal service, and the nursing staff averages about 2 hours and 40 minutes with each resident every day, which keeps everyone supervised and supported.
The building was set up to keep folks as independent as possible while making sure they stay safe, so free use of the common spaces like a dining room, garden, computer center, fitness room, gaming room, small library, and even a beauty salon mean there's always somewhere to go and something to do, from planned community activities to resident-run events, or taking the transportation when a trip off site is needed. Residents get a furnished room with a private bathroom, along with things like air-conditioning, cable TV, a telephone, and WiFi, and there are kitchenettes, linen, and housekeeping services too. Memory care features focus on personal attention and extra safety steps, and the facility uses a 24-hour call system and has someone around all the time. Residents get support for mental wellness, help with their daily needs, and even short-term respite care if a caregiver needs a break, and people who are recovering from hospital stays after strokes, heart attacks, infections, or injuries can find both therapy and ongoing support without being in a continuing care retirement community. Food comes from approved sources, meals follow special dietary rules if needed, and service is restaurant-style, with attention to making sure everyone's needs get met safely.
