An assisted living facility allows residents to have the comforts of home. Rebekah Health Links offers features in private suites that help increase independence and safety, yet residents still receive daily assistance from staff when needed. Here are a few features included in suites and how they enhance living at our assisted living facility:
Comfort Features
Suites at an assisted living facility that have climate-controlled systems allow residents to adjust the temperature at any time. If the common area is too hot or cold, residents have the option to retire to their room and set the thermostat to a comfortable setting. These suites also have private bathrooms, so residents are able to complete their activities of daily living in privacy.
To promote convenience, private suites include a phone. This enables residents to easily call family members without having to use a telephone in the shared areas. Suites also have televisions with cable plans; residents are able to watch TV in a relaxing environment. They are able to control what they watch at times that suit them.
Some rooms have large windows, which provide residents with natural light. The light helps to brighten the room and make it welcoming. Residents are able to view the outside without having to leave their room. A large closet also helps the room appear larger, and residents have the ability to store their belongings without cluttering the room.
Safety Amenities
Individuals benefit from residing in an assisted living facility because of built-in safety features and amenities. Spacious room layouts provide ample space for people who use wheelchairs or walkers. This allows residents to maneuver safely without the risk of falling due to cramped areas. Bathrooms are handicapped-accessible; showers have grab bars to assist residents as they transfer from wheelchairs to shower seats. Residents also have access to 24/7 care, while they retain independence from residing in private rooms with safety features.
Home Setting
Suites at Rebekah Health Links are designed to emulate a home environment. Rooms that have entry foyers enable residents to have a sense of privacy. The foyer provides separation from the rest of the facility, and residents can have personal space before entering the rest of their suite.
Look for suites that have kitchenettes included; this allows residents to make their own snacks and meals in their rooms. People who are used to cooking at home can continue this even after transitioning to an assisted living facility. These kitchenettes include a microwave, fridge, table, and chairs. Residents can host family members or small groups at their suite and provide a meal. They won’t need to rely on the facility staff if they prefer not to.
Promote Independence With Assisted Living
Suites with features that promote independent living and safety provide individuals with a comfortable environment. Rebekah Health Links provides suites that give individuals a home-like setting. Residents may be able to choose between a dual and a private room. Dual rooms have all the features that a private suite has, but they allow people who need companionship to live with someone. These rooms have partitions so residents can still have privacy. Contact us to learn more about the amenities included in our suites.
