Moving into a new place can be intimidating for anyone at any age. Making the change from independent living to assisted living can mean significant changes for anyone, but we want to help. We work hard to ensure our assisted living suites are inviting and comfortable.

If your loved one is having a hard time adjusting, they’re not alone. Be sure to visit them as much as possible so they can be surrounded by people they care about. Additionally, bring them some photographs and personal belongings to make their suite feel more like home.

It can be difficult to discuss when your loved one may need to transition from independent living to assisted living. If your loved one is having a hard time understanding why assisted living is necessary, our compassionate and empathetic staff can help give you the resources needed for a productive conversation.

If you or your loved one are struggling to make a decision, you can always try a 30-day respite.

Before residents can move into our community, they must first fill out our application form. If approved, we will request physical and medical information.

All potential residents will receive a pre-admission screening to determine the level of care they need, including what medications, dietary restrictions, and physician orders they must follow. They will then sign various forms including our Residency Agreement before scheduling a date to move in.

Our residents can receive visitors 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with no appointment necessary.

Cognitive impairments may not always be noticeable, but if you’re aware of early signs, you can be prepared in the event a loved one develops symptoms. Typical symptoms of cognitive impairment include:

• Memory loss and frequently forgetting things
• Asking the same question or repeating the same story over and over
• Not recognizing people or places
• Having difficulty making decisions or exercising judgment, like what to do in an emergency
• Changes in mood or behavior
• Vision problems
• Neglecting responsibilities, relationships, and hygiene
• Difficulty planning and carrying out tasks, such as following a recipe or keeping track of bills

If your loved one needs to change from independent living to memory care, it can come as a shock. We work diligently to ensure your loved one is well-cared for and comfortable, but being surrounded with familiar faces can make a world of difference.

If your loved one is having a hard time adjusting to life at The Inn, we offer various therapy services to help them work through any changes. Try to visit them as often as possible and, if you can, bring photographs and personal belongings to make their suite feel more like home.

Before residents can move into our community, they must first fill out our application form. If approved, we will request physical & medical information.

We will then determine the level of care your loved one needs by completing a pre-admission screening. These screenings will look for the medications, dietary requirements, and physician orders so we can maintain an excellent quality of life for the resident. Once this is complete, the applicant must sign a Residency Agreement, Consent to Treat, and other forms before a move-in date can be placed.

We welcome family members and friends to visit our residents 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. There are absolutely no appointments or pre-planning required to spend time with your loved one.

Moving from a home your loved one has lived in for many years can make the transition difficult. Because their surroundings may be unfamiliar, our biggest concern is to ensure your loved one feels comfortable, safe, and healthy when they get here.

If they’re having trouble adjusting, bring some of their favorite belongings to help them feel like it’s home. Photographs, personal belongings, and meaningful decor can help make your loved one feel more comfortable. We also encourage you to visit as often as possible and bring your family members to ensure your loved one is surrounded by people they care about.

Before joining our community, potential residents must first complete our application form and be approved by their hospital or tending physician. New residents will also need to provide medical history and physical information obtained within the last 30 days. For Medicare patients who have been discharged from their hospital, they can complete their application from our home so long as their discharge doesn’t exceed 30 days

To help our staff provide the care your loved one needs, we will also perform a pre-admission screening to determine their medications, dietary requirements/restrictions, physician-directed orders for care, and any special equipment needed like specialty beds, oxygen, or wheelchairs.

Your loved one will then sign our Residency Agreement, Consent to Treat, and other forms before scheduling a date to move in.

We believe family connection is vital for our residents’ happiness and physical well-being. Our community welcomes family members and loved ones to visit 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with no appointments required.

Having to spend an extended amount of time away from home can be difficult to adjust to, especially if your loved one is in pain or challenging therapy. At Fairview Rehabilitation, we work hard to ensure our suites are comfortable and spacious for residents. However, your loved one may still have a difficult time adjusting.

Bring some photographs or personal belongings to help your loved one feel more at home and visit them as much as possible. Recovery can be a difficult journey, but it doesn’t have to be unpleasant.

In some cases, your loved one may feel they are handling recovery adequately on their own. However, this may not be the case. We can help your loved one understand the need for external assistance and ensure they are comfortable.

Additionally, it may help to have a general physician recommend rehabilitation services to help your loved one understand that it’s necessary.

Before a new resident can move in, they must first fill out our application form and provide medical and physical information obtained within the last 30 days of applying. Medicare patients who’ve been discharged from their hospitals can fill out their application in-home, so long as their discharge period doesn’t last over 30 days.

Our staff will then perform a pre-admission screening to ensure we are up to date with all the medications, doctor-recommendations, and dietary requirements your loved one needs to maintain an excellent quality of life. After this, your loved one will fill out various forms including our Residency Agreement and Consent to Treat before picking a suitable date to move in.
