| Resident Services |
Health ServicesProcedures have been developed through the combined experience of home office staff, administrators, nurses, and state regulatory agencies. We recognize each resident as an individual with unique needs and preferences. Therefore, it is our practice to conduct a resident assessment prior to move-in and at regular intervals thereafter in order to provide continual health monitoring throughout the resident’s stay. Dining ServicesDining Services is designed with the needs and preferences of the individual resident, seasonal availability, and regional tastes. Ridgeline Management is afforded preferential buying through a relationship with the Oregon Health Care Association and Sysco Foods allowing for better cost controls. Additionally, Sysco Foods provides nutritious menus and recipes which allow community staff to maintain budgeted PRD. Life EnrichmentRidgeline’s Life Enrichment programming is continually evolving to meet resident preferences and interests. Our dynamic Life Enrichment program features new adventures, exciting opportunities to learn, fun with friends, and a variety of social, recreational and wellness activities. Each day is an opportunity for our residents to experience a wide variety of programs that encourage physical and mental activity and spiritual growth. With a daily schedule featuring a variety of activities, there’s something for everyone. Residents can take part in our exercise program, participate in bingo or trivia contests, or sit back and take in an afternoon movie.Memory CareOur person-centered activity-based services and memory loss programming are designed to improve the senior’s independence, ability to function, health, and quality of life. We are able to achieve these optimal living conditions through a service plan built around each individual’s life history, current abilities, and unique interests. These specialized programs, designed and implemented by our staff, include development of each elder’s Life Story; creative assistance techniques; methods of interventions that significantly reduce problem behaviors; a special physical environment that promotes optimum functioning (including both indoor and outdoor spaces); and meaningful moments of joy. We understand how important it is for seniors with memory loss to experience success in their daily lives. We strive to provide environments where they may find a sense of belonging, patience, companionship, and self esteem. Our programs are based on Validation Therapy, Eden Alternative, and Best Friends approach. |
