An ALF stands for Assisted Living Facility. ALFs exist because additional help with personal care may be necessary for a patient to meet their care needs, when they are no longer met living at home. When a resident needs a more long-term solution but does not require nursing care, rehabilitation, and other acute services, the patient is often admitted to an Assisted Living Facility. In doing so, the patient will get their care needs met in a safe and loving environment.
We offer Assisted Living for either short- term respite or long-term stays in elegant surroundings. Our residents enjoy Falcons Landing's signature maintenance-free lifestyle, with quality health care and personal services anytime they are needed.
Your nurse will notify your physician that you have had a change in condition. Depending on the change, you may be treated right at the facility. However, in some cases, your medical changes may require we transfer you to a hospital in the community.
Your plan is developed by a team of healthcare professionals, along with you and your family. Typically, your physician leads the direction of the plan and communicates that to the nurses and discharge planners. This information will be shared with you frequently, during care plan meetings and as changes occur.
Absolutely! Shortly after you are admitted, the dietitian will visit you and discuss your preferences. That information will be conveyed to the kitchen, and we will do our best to meet your request.
At any time, you may ask to speak to the Registered Medical Assistant (RMA) or nurse on duty. Through daily visits and quality assurance rounds, we will provide you and your family with answers to any issues or concerns that you may have to ensure you are receiving the best care possible.
In a hospital a physician is required to see a patient every day. However, in assisted living, the requirement changes because the patients are considered medically stable. The physician will see his or her patients, typically, when a significant change in condition occurs, and at least monthly thereafter. Of course, your nurses are always in communication with the physician and can reach him or her daily by phone, if needed.
Assisted Living Facilities are staffed differently than a hospital because patients are considered medically stable. Staffing varies depending on census and care requirements. However typically there will be 1-2 nurses per shift. There also will be about 3-4 certified nursing assistants to assist with care. There is also an Assisted Living Coordinator who oversees the nursing care of the unit.
