4. Accommodations
or amenities provided in a nursing home
Will my loved one have a private room or how many roommates
will they have?
We do have some private rooms in our facilities, however many
of our rooms are shared by two or more residents. We want the
best for your loved one and do our utmost to match them with
someone with like interests, capabilities and daily routines.
You can bring personal items to make the room comfortable and
homelike. Each resident’s bed has a cubicle curtain that
is pulled for privacy. Each bed is equipped with a call light
that lights up inside and at the nurses’ station.
Do you have temperature
controls in each room?
All of our facilities have specific guidelines for temperatures
that must be maintained in residents’ rooms and in the
facility in general. Generally, we keep the facilities on the
warmer side, given that our residents tend to be sensitive to
cooler temperatures. If your family member wishes to be a little
cooler, you may want to check with the individual facility about
bringing in a portable fan. If your loved one likes to be a
little warmer in the winter, you might want to bring an additional
quilt or comforter to add to their bedding. |
