WHAT IS PERSONAL CARE?

“Personal Care” facilities provide care for those who need assistance with certain aspects of their daily lives. Dressing, bathing, meal preparation, and management of personal medication are the types of activities with which Mt. Assisi Place Residents often need help. Typically, Residents at personal care facilities such as ours have some degree of independence and the ability to perform much of their own care. For any number of reasons, they are unable or unwilling to live alone, and require some help or supervision with their care or safety needs.

All Residents at Mt. Assisi Place need assistance with certain activities of daily living, which we provide. Residents are required to be able to feed themselves and to be ambulatory within their own rooms. Use of walkers, canes and, in certain cases, wheelchairs can help meet this requirement. 

The care team at Mt. Assisi Place is dedicated to respectful caring and to meeting the individual needs of our Residents. Personal care is less intensive than that which would be found at facilities such as nursing homes or hospitals. If a Resident at Mt. Assisi Place requires more intensive care than we are licensed or equipped to provide, we can assist with transfer to an appropriate facility.

We have a physician onsite weekly, and welcome Residents to maintain the care of their own PCPs, if they choose. In addition, specialists in various disciplines visit regularly. Although personal care facilities are not required to have nurses on staff, we do for the benefit of our Residents. Along with our resident care aides, our nurses assist our Residents with many aspects of daily living, including medication management, dressing, mobility and use of special medical equipment.

Admission, the provision of services, and referral of residents shall be made without regard to race, color, religious creed, disability, ancestry, national origin (including limited English proficiency), age or sex.
