It’s important to me that my relative eat well. How does your dining program work?
At Bailey Manor, we have a full-time dietary staff that prepares all of our food from scratch. Breakfast is served between 7 and 9 a.m. and is made to order. The lunch menu provides multiple food choices, and dinner is a continually changing and nutritious meal plan. Along with meals, there’s a large variety of snack choices available to residents 24 hours a day. If you are concerned about any dietary issues, there’s a dietician on staff who is available for family consults and evaluation of the continually changing nutritional needs of the memory care resident.
What professional medical services are available at Bailey Manor?
We have a nurse practitioner who visits each facility as needed. We partner with outside medical services that provide in-house care. A podiatrist provides quarterly visits. We also offer the services of a Licensed Social Worker. All professional medical services are billed through insurance.
What safety/security measures do you provide for memory care residents?
With the progression of the Alzheimer’s/Dementia diagnosis, our facility provides the security required by residents at high risk for elopement. We provide a safe and secure environment for our residents, giving families peace of mind, with features such as a secure walking route, closed patio and much more.
What if my relative doesn’t need full-time care? What do you offer?
We offer both Day Care and Respite Care for individuals who don’t need full-time care. These services give a bit of relief to caregivers, whether they work, have other responsibilities or just need a day, a weekend or a vacation to recharge their batteries. Each of these programs offers a range of services and is priced reasonably.
