Lovely Outdoor Spaces
Health experts say spending time outdoors, particularly in green spaces, can benefit mental and physical health. They link time in nature with better sleep, lower blood pressure, and a lower risk of chronic disease. People who spend time in nature also report exercising more.
So, it's no wonder people of all ages, including older adults and even those with dementia, may benefit from outdoor therapy.
Addington Place of Clinton makes it easier for residents to enjoy being outside. After all, we have beautiful, well-maintained outdoor spaces. Here, residents can relax, enjoy fresh air, get their daily dose of vitamin D, and socialize.
On-Site Personal Care Services
Addington Place of Clinton has a staff of trained healthcare professionals. They're always available to help every resident and cater to their needs and requests. They also provide the following personal care services.
Medication Management
Medication management refers to strategies aimed at improving medication adherence. The latter is critical for medicines to be effective, safe, and have lower risks of side effects. Conversely, poor adherence can lead to adverse drug reactions, which could make medicines do more harm than good.
Poor adherence can occur when seniors accidentally make mistakes, such as:
- Forgetting to take their medicines on time
- Not taking their medicine, thinking they've already done so
- Taking their medication twice because they forgot they already did
- Confusing one medicine for another
Our trained staff at Addington Place of Clinton can provide medication management to help reduce the risk of poor adherence. We gently remind our residents when it's time to take their medicines and check that they're taking the right ones. We can also assist with the administration or oversee it and watch out for any side effects.
Hygiene Assistance
Our senior living community in Clinton can also help residents who need assistance with personal hygiene. They can assist with bathing, showering, dental hygiene, grooming, toileting, and dressing. They do all these while treating residents with the dignity and respect they deserve.
Housekeeping Help
Residents can rely on apartment-related Addington Place services, including weekly housekeeping. We also make it a point to be available round-the-clock for emergency maintenance requests. Whether it's an issue with the cable TV, Wi-Fi, or air conditioning, our staff members are always on-site to help with these concerns.
