Caring Attention

At Hope we pay close attention to the changing needs of our participants. We provide two meals and a snack each day -- and assistance is offered as needed. Toileting assistance is available as are showers and nail care overseen by our experienced certified nursing assistants. To keep participants looking good --and feeling good about themselves – the center offers on-site haidressing, including hair coloring.

"The staff is cheerful, welcoming and loving.
I have great peace of mind
knowing she’s happy at Hope.
It’s even better than I’d hoped."
Sheila McCarty, Warwick

We also understand that our participants can’t always tell us or their caregivers if they aren’t feeling well, so our skilled and experienced registered nurses keep a close eye on their health. Our nurses

• Conduct mini-physicals every month to check things like weight, blood pressure and respiration
• Help with care planning for our participants
• Dispense medications prescribed by participants’ physicians, including injections
• Follow up on any health problems and coordinate with participants’ doctors

In addition, we provide management of special diets and lab specimen collection. A visiting podiatrist provides foot care services and Hope will arrange for cccupational, speech and physical therapy services.

Important as these services are, though, our staff understands they are only part of what our participants need. Like all of us, they also need attention and affection and a feeling that they matter. So, whether it’s a quiet conversation, a hug or a stroll together in the yard, our staff seeks out opportunities to show each participant how much he or she is loved and valued.
