Health
and Wellness Center at the Gardens
The
Wellness Center.....
While one of our primary goals is to emphasize and maintain independence
for our residents, assistance is also available to promote this independence.
A variety of wellness services is available at The Gardens in
order to maximize health. Scheduled assistance with bathing and dressing
or medication set-up and reminders may be all that is necessary to maintain
one's level of independence. Regardless of the level of assistance which
is needed, it is always provided with dignity and respect in a caring
and supportive environment.
Resident Care Assistants,
who are experienced, certified nurses aides, are available on a twenty-four
hour basis. A call-bell system is located in each apartment for resident
convenience. The nurses at
The Gardens have many years of experience in geriatrics and they
provide professional supervision as well as a variety of skills which
enhance the well-being of our residents.
Regularly scheduled health
and wellness programs are provided by
our Wellness Center, Dietitian and community resources, such as Danbury
Hospital.
Monthly podiatrist services
are available on site. Medicare approved home health agencies are also
available to provide services, as appropriate, with a physician's order.
The staff of the Wellness Center can coordinate the delivery of these
services should they be needed. These include skilled nursing, physical,
occupational and speech therapies and social work services.
Transportation is available
Monday, Tuesday & Thursday for scheduled appointments.
