My father is in Homewood at Plum Creek nursing home. He needed to have full-term care, so he had to go into a home that has several levels of care. It is a community that has cottages for independent living, they have assisted living for people that just need meals but they live independently within the building, and they have assisted living and memory care levels. There is accommodation for all levels of care if you will. Concerning to the personal care he's received since he's come into the community, it's outstanding. They have medical care that is ongoing with their staff always, at least for my dad, checking in on his physical well-being with blood pressure and health-related checks that need to be done weekly or twice a week, meal service, and laundry service. Everything is included for the level he's needing at this time. I truly couldn't have found a better place for him to be.
It's a continuing care community providing a range of living options from independent living to assisted, to skilled nursing and people can move from one level to another. They've been there for more than 85 years. There are two beds in his room, so two residents are in a room type or in some cases, there can be one resident, it depends on what is needed. There's full care there. He gets assistance with whatever needs he has. Initially, he needed help with certain things. There are people there who need help with bathing or eating. In his case, he needed more care as he was healing and now he needs assistance. He's in a wheelchair, so he needs assistance getting up and he's able to get that as needed. He's able to ambulate in his wheelchair, but whatever he needs, if he rings his call bell, they're there.
The ratio of care to residents is excellent. I get weekly or twice a week update on how he's doing, his physical wellness, and if there are any issues. It's ongoing communication. We have meetings every three months on the phone. It's an excellent team. The teamwork and the ratings that the facility recently got from the Department of Health or whoever it is that gives them a review, was top-notch. Everyone from the cleaning staff to the supervisor of nursing, OT, PT, they're all very dedicated and they care about each person as an individual and look to meet those needs individually. It's not a one-size-fits-all. They are engaged every day in several activities. It's expensive, but you have to think about all they're giving from housekeeping to care to medical care, the room, and the facility. Just the commitment of the ratio of people to what he's getting is exceptional.
