Personally Yours Elder Care offers a distinctive and personalized approach to adult care in a home-like setting. The facility is thoughtfully designed across two main buildings, each catering to the unique needs and comfort of every resident. The primary building on Gunderson Road is structured as a triplex, consisting of three separate homes within a single building, each with its own staff and rooms. In addition, Dolphin House stands as a duplex in the Town of Rochester, housing two individual homes within one inviting, newer structure. Though different in appearance, all homes at Personally Yours Elder Care are managed seamlessly and share the same commitment to quality care and resident well-being.
Each individual home within Personally Yours Elder Care accommodates up to four residents, allowing for an intimate and closely monitored environment. Staffing matches this standard, maintaining a consistent caregiver-to-resident ratio of one to four. This ensures that every resident receives attentive and individualized assistance around the clock. Caregivers at the residences are specially trained and educated to meet the various needs of the individuals they support, ensuring skillful handling and compassionate care at all times.
The facility takes a comprehensive approach to resident wellness. Should a resident’s needs extend beyond the expertise of the in-house Service Providers, Personally Yours Elder Care coordinates with outside services to ensure that each individual receives all necessary care to enhance their quality of life. Each home is equipped with adaptive equipment to ensure safety during resident transfers and to minimize the risk of injuries.
Healthcare coordination is a central aspect of the care philosophy at Personally Yours Elder Care. The Healthcare Coordinator maintains ongoing communication with the physician from the Visiting Physician Association, who oversees the majority of the residents. This close monitoring enables prompt responses to any changes in condition and supports individualized care for every resident.
Personally Yours Elder Care also emphasizes the importance of daily living and independence. Service Providers actively encourage residents to perform their own activities of daily living to the greatest extent possible, promoting physical and emotional well-being. Social interaction is similarly regarded as vital. The Activity Coordinator arranges regular visits to each home, engaging residents in a variety of activities, from exercise sessions to games, fostering a lively and supportive community atmosphere.
Mealtimes at Personally Yours Elder Care are characterized by home-cooked meals prepared daily. These meals are carefully tailored to meet each resident’s physician-prescribed diet, ensuring nutritional needs are met while preserving the pleasure of dining. Recognizing that many older adults may lose their sense of thirst, staff diligently encourage hydration throughout the day, understanding the critical importance of fluid intake for digestion, nutrient absorption, and overall health.
Family involvement is integral to the mission of Personally Yours Elder Care. The care team values the input of family members in shaping and refining personalized care plans, believing that collaboration with loved ones contributes to maintaining a high standard of care. Through a comprehensive and deeply personalized approach, Personally Yours Elder Care strives to ensure that each resident enjoys the highest possible quality of life and a sense of dignity, comfort, and connection.
