  • 4How do you manage resident safety and security, especially for those who might tend to wander or need extra supervision?
  • 5Can you walk us through your protocol for handling medical emergencies or sudden changes in a resident's health needs after hours?
  • 6We are looking for a very consistent level of personal care; how do you ensure that every resident's daily hygiene and medical routines are strictly followed by the staff?

Key Review Excerpts

My hats off to Chris the social worker at Phoenix, for doing an excellent job at communicating with the family members, preparing for my father’s arrival and for welcoming him into the facility.

Family member of a new resident · 2019★★★★★

I saw a very old woman who could just barely walk, pushing an empty wheelchair on my street. She looked very out of place wandering around, running into the curb with the wheelchair, and stumbling.

Neighbor · 2019☆☆☆☆

The facility was older, not fancy but clean and met my temporary needs. I also liked the fact that there were no hidden charges and that the monthly fee included medication administration, as much assistance as was needed for each resident, and laundry services if desired.
