Assisted living is an essential part of the aging process for many seniors. At Parmer Woods at North Austin, respecting residents’ requests and preferences regarding their care and daily structure is crucial. After all, no one knows better than them what will make them most comfortable and content.
We understand it is important to provide excellent senior care. It is equally important to respect the wishes of residents. Requests are taken seriously, and we ensure desires are heard and addressed.
Our respectful assisted living services are available for seniors living in North Austin, Manor, Pflugerville, and similar areas. Let’s take a closer look at why respect matters in senior living and how we make sure that our residents have a say in their day-to-day lives.
Respecting Resident Requests
At Parmer Woods at North Austin, we understand that everyone’s needs are different. We utilize personalized care plans to accommodate each resident’s requests.
Our team is always on hand to answer any questions or concerns our residents may have about their care or lifestyle. We work closely with residents and their families to ensure that they are comfortable with:
- The level of care they receive
- The services and amenities provided
- The daily activities
- The nutritious meal service
Parmer Woods at North Austin is not an assisted living facility. We are a community where older adults can choose a higher quality of life and practice healthy habits in retirement.
Our assisted living and memory care community in North Austin offers an opportunity for residents to take charge of their own lives. Individuals can choose how and where they want to live without compromising their quality of life. This sense of autonomy is valuable for maintaining independence and facing life’s changing needs.
It is gratifying to celebrate and honor diversity among residents. Our team shows we value everyone’s involvement in shaping the atmosphere of our senior living community. One way to do that is by giving residents a voice.
Giving Residents a Voice
Residents have a say in their daily lives. We hold regular meetings with residents where they can collaborate with our Dining Service Director and Activities Director. We would never force residents to do or eat something they do not enjoy. Life here is all about enjoyment.
We take these requests seriously and do our best to incorporate them into our daily schedule so that everyone can enjoy a variety of activities that appeal specifically to them. Some of the residents’ favorite activities include:
In addition, we provide transportation services to help residents explore North Austin and nearby areas. Trips to enriching places like the Elisabet Ney Museum and the Mayfield Park and Nature Preserve help bring a sense of normalcy to their lives. We also enjoy visiting residents’ favorite places to shop and eat lunch.
Our team honors residents’ wishes whenever possible. Preserving independence means having a say over decisions that affect their daily routines. We help seniors stay connected and make new friends while feeling heard and respected.
By providing opportunities for resident input into such decisions, we empower our seniors to be an integral part of their care plan.
Resident-Centric Care Plans
At Parmer Woods at North Austin, resident input is taken seriously when creating care plans tailored to each person’s needs. We believe that no two seniors are the same—so why should they all receive the same treatment?
Individualized care plans are essential to creating the perfect environment for assisted living residents. We tailor personalized support through thorough assessments of physical and cognitive needs.
An assessment determines the best level of care and takes into account:
- Medical needs
- Personal history
- Physical abilities
- Lifestyle preferences
- Wellness goals
- Social needs
Person-centered care plans can be adjusted over time as individual requirements evolve. Seniors can live life on their terms with the right amount of assistance.
Care plans can be thought of as a menu for maintaining independence. Some of the services residents can choose from include:
- Medication management and administration
- Bathing, dressing, and grooming assistance
- Physical and occupational therapy
- Nutrition tracking, eating assistance, and weight management
- Visiting doctor care
Connections is our signature memory care program founded by Dr. Sandra Petersen. This secure and calming feature of our community offers a higher level of care. Showing respect is of the utmost importance to our dementia care specialists.
Specialized care can help residents with Alzheimer’s and dementia feel valued and appreciated. Connections focuses on letting residents learn, move, and stay social to curb feelings of isolation and depression.
Our team works closely with family members to discover the likes and interests of memory care residents. We present individualized activities that may help residents reminisce.
Assisted Living in North Austin: Serving A Unique Population
The residents who make up our community make it a special place. We love offering senior housing to a diverse population of teachers, veterans, engineers, and so much more. Residents trade stories and take care of each other.
Each resident is unique and comes to us with an incredible story. One resident was recently interviewed for being the oldest living alum from Huston-Tillotson University. Congratulations, Ms. Johnnie!
At Parmer Woods at North Austin, we understand how important it is for our residents to feel respected and appreciated throughout their stay here. That’s why we strive to accommodate their requests as much as possible while providing quality care and engaging activities.
