Did you start noticing during the holiday family get-togethers that grandma needs help reaching the kitchen cupboards? Or that grandpa has difficulty moving around the house?
For the family members, moving your loved one into an assisted living community is never easy. It’s natural to be concerned because we all want our loved ones to receive the best care. Here at Optimum Personal Care, our highest priority is our residents’ physical and mental well-being. Our caregivers ensure that each resident’s individual and changing needs are met daily.
When it comes to our residents’ physical well-being, our caregivers ensure daily assistance for tasks such as grooming, bathing, and dressing, along with care for each resident’s unique needs. Three nutrient-rich, home-cooked meals and two snacks are served daily in a family-like environment, and we ensure a sufficient daily water intake. Our residents also get regular check-ups by a physician and a nurse. The medical practitioners visit our location, saving our residents from the trip to the doctor. If your loved one likes exercising, they can participate in kickball and exercise classes that help them maintain a good physical condition.
Here at Optimum Personal Care, our approach to well-being doesn’t stop at meeting the residents’ physical needs. We believe that the mental aspect is crucial to overall well-being. That is why our caregivers ensure your loved one’s emotional, cognitive and social needs are met, along with the physical demands.
One of our greatest assets is our team, which consists of compassionate and easily approachable caregivers. They join the residents for meals and various activities and connect with them through empathy, trust, and respect. We treat your loved one the way we would treat our own family.
We also want to help your loved one to stay sharp and have meaningful daily activities. That is why our caregivers organize various brain-teaser sessions for the residents. Your loved one can participate in activities such as word games, bingo, story listening, and discussions on news topics. The exercises help your loved one to socialize and make new friends while enjoying their favorite hobby.
In addition to the physical and cognitive activities, your loved one can participate in other fun things, such as art classes, fun with flowers, ice cream socials, and movie matinees. We cater our activities to whatever it is that our residents enjoy doing. We also host fun theme parties and dances that get our residents grooving!
