St. Simons Assisted Living Community

Potential residents are required to have a physical evaluation performed by their primary care physician (PCP) / Nurse practitioner (NP), so our community can understand and follow the daily necessary assistance based on each resident's needs. The future resident must pass a background check and also agree to our regulations of assisted living provided in our residency agreement. The Director of Wellness also does an assessment with the prospective resident where we assess their level of mobility, cognitive impairment/issues, behavioral issues, and any open areas on their skin, and just get an overall picture of them to see if they will be a good fit for our community. We go over any medical issues or health concerns they have, medication profiles, and answer any questions they may have.

Yes, families have the option to have additional care services in the community. It is provided through a third-party provider. If the family chooses to utilize additional caring services other than what we provide for daily assistance. The family needs to share a form from Vitality with the company providing the service or private care person, the form needs to be signed agreeing and understanding our regulations when providing direct caring services in the community.

Our team follows a mandatory 30-day, 60-day, and annual training which covers several areas, such as resident rights, resident care, dementia training, hygiene, community policy, anti-discrimination, HIPPA, Empowering residents, and several others. Each care team member goes through an average of 36 courses.

Our community assists with Activities of Daily Living (ADL) from as simple as setting reminders to assisting with showers, incontinence care,  laundry, housekeeping, meals, activities, outings, and local doctor appointment transportation. As for additional services in-house from partnered care sources, our community includes Physical Therapy, Podiatry Services, Nurse Practitioner visits, and a hair salon.
