Since Ardenwoods has both an RN and LPN on staff, our Health Care Navigator can support you through:
- Communicating with physicians and establishing a service plan designed specifically for you.
- Obtaining new medications and coordinating delivery to your apartment home.
- Ordering a packaging system to simplify your daily medication management.
- Offering emotional support by someone you trust when dealing with health changes and challenges.
- Arranging for appropriate private home care services, as needed, in increments as small as 15 minutes at a time. More importantly, you buy only those services you need.
For those who prefer the security of professional 24-hour health care, we have Heather Glen: on-campus assisted living and health care through multiple levels of care. We support your changing needs in a warm, neighborhood setting. Whether you might need assistance with medications or more extended services, living at Heather Glen provides you with a private suite and exactly the care you need.
HealthyLife Services focus on you and your preferences, through thoughtful, comprehensive programming that encompasses your health, physical and social well-being. No other area senior living community approaches your lifestyle in this way.
