rise here with more insight
carriage crossing senior
living executive director
Angela wrestle is back welcome
back. Thank you for having
case of work a continuing on
the series of new beginnings
here in March and maybe it's
time for that loved ones have
a new beginning at carriage
crossing that's what we're
hoping will come in and try us
on with us over well, let's
talk first of all about the
caregiver himself because
maybe they're noticing some
signs that mom or dad needs a
little extra help a little
extra care.
And they're trying to
decide where the best fit for
would be one of their top
concern, Number one top
concern so how do you keep
residents safe. Well, I tell
caregivers is a four-letter
word when it comes to seniors
moving into care cost and what
do they do it.
It S a f e they have to be
safe.
So when you're talking
about people that are. There
are a little unsteady on their
feet and walkers or canes or
something like that you know
the possibilities of having a
serious fall are very they're
you know they have those falls
break hips and break bones and
so we make sure that there
taking care fun. But their fan
need your help in.
Has to be comforting for
the caregiver to know that
they will be looked after its
not like they're just going to
beyond around we have a 6 hour
complete community is actually
has cameras all the way inside
the building not in the
apartment some cells all
around on the bill as you can
And we also have nurse call
system opinion on their neck,
so they can press for help and
they need help. So all the. I
guess all the points when it
comes to being as safe as you
possibly can be an EU frail
and you need that extra help
we've checked all those boxes
to make sure they are safe yet
come and go as they please yes
like a nursing home where
they're stuck in inside the
building they can go outside
they can go for a walk they
can go to church do want to do
now that we've got vaccines,
yes now they can go to church
and they can go shopping and
things like that so.
That's really exciting that
after living through a
they're able to have a little
freedom. Yeah Q we briefly
talk about them memory care
dementias side of things
because thinking about the
safety on that and having a
dad who lived with that and
then having to decide where he
and good fit for him.
Safety was top concern
because we didn't want him to
then have something happened
to him. How do you keep those
residents memory care is
actually a lot down community
you have to have codes to get
it's really homey environment.
Well, everybody feels like
that the one big family. So we
have shared apartments, we
also have private apartments.
So it's a beautiful place so
we can actually reminisce
we've actually started a new
program with introducing into
the community in arcola in
having a sensory with anybody
that has like a meltdown when
it comes to dimension you can
have episodes of behaviors. So
this is is going to help
eliminate some of that makes
him feel comfortable and safe.
Yeah well, it's definitely
challenging time for families
like kind of all over the
board.
And deadly conversations
in checking out your space
would help them feel even
better I love to tour the men
around and show my carriage
cause it's all about because
we really do preach the word

middle of the pandemic still

done virtual tours if people
are confident enough and I
feel like you know me that

their vaccines because we've
all been vaccinated would love
