Navigating the admission process for an assisted living facility can feel overwhelming, but at BeeWell Assisted Living, we aim to make it as smooth and transparent as possible for you and your family. Here’s a simple, step-by-step guide to help you understand what to expect when considering BeeWell as your new home.
Initial Inquiry: Starting the Conversation
The first step in the admission process is reaching out to us. Whether you give us a call, send an email, or fill out a form on our website, this initial conversation helps us understand your needs and gives you an opportunity to ask any questions. We’ll also schedule a time for you to visit and tour our facility.
Facility Tour: Experience BeeWell Firsthand
We believe that seeing is believing! During your tour of BeeWell Assisted Living, you’ll get to explore our accommodations, common areas, and all the wonderful amenities that make life here comfortable and engaging. It’s also a great time to ask any questions you have about our services and care. We want you to feel confident that BeeWell is the right choice for you or your loved one.
Comprehensive Assessment: Tailoring Care to Individual Needs
Once you’ve decided to move forward, the next step is a comprehensive assessment. Our team of healthcare professionals will evaluate the prospective resident’s physical, emotional, and social needs. We’ll assess mobility, cognitive function, dietary requirements, and any medical conditions. This helps us create a personalized care plan to ensure the resident receives the right level of care.
Reviewing the Care Plan: Collaborating with Families
After the assessment, we’ll sit down with you and your family to go over the care plan. This meeting is your chance to discuss how we can best meet your needs or the needs and preferences of your loved one. We believe in a collaborative approach, making sure that the care plan is aligned with both the resident’s needs and family expectations. If there are any concerns or adjustments needed, this is the time to make them.
Financial Planning: Understanding the Costs
Understanding the financial side of assisted living is important. During the admission process, we’ll provide you with clear information about the costs of living at BeeWell, including any additional services that may have extra charges. To help you plan, we offer a Financial Planning Guide, which can help you explore costs and available financial assistance options. Planning ahead will make sure there are no surprises and your chosen care plan is financially sustainable for you and your family.
Signing the Agreement: Finalizing the Details
Once you’ve reviewed the care plan and financial details, the next step is signing the resident agreement. This document outlines the services we provide, payment terms, and the rights and responsibilities of the resident. We recommend carefully reviewing the agreement and asking any questions to ensure that you fully understand the terms.
Moving In: Transitioning to Life at BeeWell
The move-in day is an exciting milestone! Our team is here to help with the physical move and to make sure the new resident feels at home. We’ll introduce them to their new surroundings, fellow residents, and the staff. Our goal is to make the transition as easy and stress-free as possible.
Post-Move Support: Continuous Care and Adjustment
The support doesn’t stop after move-in day. We offer ongoing assistance to ensure that new residents adjust to their new life at BeeWell. We’ll have regular check-ins, encourage participation in social activities, and make sure the resident’s care plan is updated as needed. Our goal is for every resident to feel at home, supported, and engaged.
