So Much More Than Nursing Home Care -
Traditions Person Centered Care
The
current culture in many nursing homes revolves around performing tasks
to satisfy state standards. While state requirements set a minimal standard
of care, Traditions instead focuses on accommodating our residents’
needs and preferences, with the objective of helping them achieve the
highest possible quality of living. Person Centered Care aims for a normal,
productive and contributing life.
NEIGHBORHOODS: Our four “neighborhood” hallways have staff
and resident neighbors and “neighborhood life” centered on
creating a home environment and rewarding relationships.
CONSISTENT CAREGIVERS: The same people provide care for each unique resident.
Our staff learns their residents’ likes and dislikes, enhancing
each resident's routine, and helping both to create a team.
UNDISTURBED SLEEP: We don't wake you at a set time. We believe normal
rhythms of rest are important to living life fully. If there is a medical
reason for waking a resident, we will adjust for that purpose when necessary.
OPEN DINING: Traditions offers open dining hours. Whether dining in their
own rooms or the dining room, meals are served to fit resident schedules.
Meals in the dining room offer various entrees and seconds. If a resident
sleeps through lunch, no need to worry - the kitchen is always open, just
like at home.
LIBERALIZED DIETS: We provide a menu without dietary restrictions. Enjoy
life's personal pleasures - choose what you like to eat.
SCHEDULES: We honor residents’ routine schedules, about when to
bathe, awaken and sleep.
