What is Assisted Living?

Posted by nate on April 7, 2010  |  No Comments

The Assisted Living Federation of America defines assisted living as a long-term care option that combines housing, support services and health care, as needed.  Assisted Living is designed for individuals who require assistance with everday activities such as meals, medication management or assistance, bathing, dressing and transportation.  Some residents may have memory disorders including Alzheimer’s, or they may need help with mobility, incontinence or other challenges.  Residents are assessed upon move in, or any time there is a change in condition.  The assessment is used to develop an Individualized Service Plan.

Our House Assisted Living provides residents that need assistance with all of the activities of daily living as defined above in a small home like setting.  Our Nurse, Cori will assess your loved one prior to move in at no charge.  From this assessment we will be able create a service plan that will let us know exactly what kind of assistance your loved one will need in our home.

Our House Assisted Living is in the process of writing a book on caregiving.  We are going to be interviewing caregivers and sharing their experiences, both difficult and joyful at times, then compile the information for a book.  We are currently looking and interviewing for caregivers that would like to share their journey with us.  Please contact Nate at 801-918-7707 for more information.  We hope this book will be able to touch the lives of the many caregivers doing remarkable things.

Dear Nate, Tausha, and Everyone at Our House of South Jordan

Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Jerune for the past year and for the extraordinary friendships that was extended during her time with you.  She did consider you all family and Our House as “home”.  My family and I appreciate all you’ve done.  Thank you very much.

Family Letter to Our House

Posted by nate on February 25, 2010  |  No Comments

Dear Nate,

We can’t express our gratitude enough for the awesome care that my mother received during her stay at Our House.  Vickie was wonderful, kind and understanding as she met my mom’s needs.  As we worked to make my mother comfortable till the end your staff carried out all the medical needs and we never felt worried to leave her when we went to our homes to sleep.  Thanks also to you for your support when I expressed the need to know that it was OK to allow my mom to pass away in her room.

We have been so happy with all the kindnesses shown to my mom during the 2 plus years that she has lived in the Riverton Our House.  The Christmas parties, the opportunity to have church services each week with the ward, the parade, that Riverton holds on the 4th of July, the crafts and many other events that made my mom’s stay so nice.

Sincerely, Venice

Family Member Letter to Our House

Posted by nate on January 20, 2010  |  No Comments

I just wanted to send you a note to express my appreciation for everything you and your employees at the West Sandy Our House did for my mother.  Beverly lived there over four years, and I know at times she was a difficult resident.  Your employees took a personal interest in her and went beyond the expected care to meet her growing needs.  As Beverly’s health failed, and she needed more assistance, your employees tried to find that balance between encouraging her to do more for herself and picking up the difference when she was not able.  They kept us informed of any problems or changes in her health and were kind, friendly, and patient.

Beverly enjoyed her stay at Our House.  Nate, I am also appreciative of you and your willingness to always work with us and within our financial constraints.  You made it possible for us to stay at Our House when money was tight, and made allowances when Beverly’s care went beyond your charter.  In talking with Marlene at Flexcare, she also mentioned that you stand out among assisted living center owners in your dedication to both patient and managing a well-run facility.  She said few owners are as genuine as you.  I agree.  Thank you for all you did.
