Choosing Clark for Enhanced Safety: How We Prioritize Your Loved One’s Well-Being

Choosing a living arrangement for your aging loved one is a difficult decision filled with many considerations, primarily about their safety, health and well-being. While the comfort of one’s home is undeniable, the built-in safety measures, health monitoring, and comprehensive wellness approach offered through Assisted Living at Clark present significant advantages. These benefits often surpass the arguments for remaining at home. Let’s delve into the unique advantages that Clark offers, ensuring your loved one is not only safe but thriving.

Enhanced Safety Features in Assisted Living

The safety of our residents is a top priority, and every aspect of our community has been designed with this in mind. Unlike a typical home, each resident’s room and community gathering spaces are designed with safety and accessibility at the forefront:

• Bed Height: Beds are set at an optimal height to facilitate easy access, minimizing the risk of falls while getting in or out.
• Shower Safety: Bathrooms are equipped with non-slip surfaces and grab bars to ensure a safe bathing experience.
• Mobility Support: The layout of each room and the wider community is designed to accommodate mobility aids, with wide doorways and corridors, and minimal thresholds.
• Personal Care: Our compassionate caregivers are available to help with dressing, grooming and personal hygiene as needed.
• Medication Management: We offer help with organizing prescriptions and ensuring the correct medications are taken at the right times.
• Proactive Health Monitoring: At Clark, we leverage technology and innovation to enhance the health monitoring and safety of our residents. With wearable devices we can keep a gentle, discreet eye on health indicators, ensuring timely intervention when necessary.

Access to On-Site Primary Care

With the convenience of our on-site primary care services, our residents enjoy unparalleled access to comprehensive medical care without the need to leave the comfort of their community. Our offerings include routine and annual physical examinations, a thorough review and management of medications, routine checks for blood pressure and weight, specialized wound care, skin checks, a comprehensive array of lab and radiology services and more.

This proximity to care providers eliminates the stress and logistics involved in traveling to external medical appointments, ensuring that your loved one’s medical needs are managed efficiently and effectively, something that living alone at home cannot always guarantee.

A Holistic Approach to Wellness

At Clark, we don’t just aim for our residents to live – we inspire them to thrive. Our holistic approach to wellness encompasses not just the physical, but the mental, emotional and spiritual well-being of our community members. Our Life Enrichment Team, consisting of skilled Recreational Therapists, plays a pivotal role in creating a nurturing environment that fosters meaningful living. Life Enrichment at Clark is more than just activities; it’s about enhancing the quality of life for each resident. From providing structure and routine to improving cognitive skills and overall health, the benefits are tangible.

Tailored Activities

Residents engage in physical activities tailored to their abilities and interests, participate in intellectually stimulating games like trivia, and enjoy social events. Our Life Enrichment Team crafts a wide array of activities designed to engage residents in meaningful, purposeful experiences. Recognizing that each individual has unique interests, hobbies, and past careers, activities are personalized, taking a person-centered approach to cater to the needs of each resident. From music therapy and fitness classes to social gatherings, we offer a variety of programs.

Reconnecting with Passions

Life Enrichment at Clark also focuses on reconnecting residents with their hobbies, whether it’s gardening, art or contributing to the community. These activities not only bring joy but also a sense of purpose and fulfillment.

Social Engagement

Living alone can often lead to feelings of isolation, but at Clark, your loved one will be part of a vibrant community, with ample opportunities for engagement, friendship, and support.

Purposeful Downtime and Individual Attention

Recognizing that not everyone thrives in group settings, Clark balances group activities with purposeful downtime. One-on-one interactions cater to individual therapeutic needs, focusing on balance, fine motor skills, and personalized engagement.
