Let's Be Social
Our residents mingle with their neighbors on a daily basis. For those who are challenged by the loss of communication skills, our staff continues to speak to them and include them in the social activities.
Add Comfort & Ease Anxiety
At Wellness Care Senior Living at Ojai, we have created a comfortable lifestyle for those dealing with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. For residents, we offer as much independence as possible, along with specialized care. For family members, we offer the opportunity to take better care of themselves and live their own life again, while still being actively involved in the life of their loved one.
Our community is designed to encourage social interaction, along with physical and mental stimulation. Our residents share community areas with one another. At the same time they receive the individual benefits of their own "Personal Care Plan"' and their personal living quarters.
Plus, we always include priceless intangibles that are essential to a fulfilling life: concern, companionship, compassion, respect and human dignity.
Families Prefer ''Inclusive''
At Wellness Care Senior Living at Ojai, we keep our fees simple. To accomplish this, we combine as many services as we can into two inclusive packages.
We find that these packages work much better than charging a low base fee and then itemizing each bath, snack, hair combing, etc. Those type billing systems create too many opportunities for mistrust and mistakes. Also, service fees can skyrocket very quickly.
Our residents and their families like this pricing system, too. They know in advance that their monthly cost will be fair and consistent. Plus, family members appreciate the fact that they will not find their loved one skipping a needed bath or a nutritious meal in order to save some money. (Yes, that will happen.)
Making A Decision You Can Live With
Caregiving in your home can be difficult and exhausting. It demands time and energy, action and patience, planning and flexibility. It can also bring about tremendous rewards, such as strengthening relationships, sharing love or loyalty, fulfilling a promise, relieving guilt, providing the opportunity to be needed and saving money.
Hopefully, the demands and hard work can continue to be offset by the personal benefits. However, there comes a time for many caregivers when the balance tips the other way. They become physically and/or mentally overworked. Stresses negatively affect their health, attitude, relationships, career and more. Eventually they affect their ability to be a caregiver.
We know the process of making a care decision is very difficult and varies from family to family. If you have any questions, please give us a call or e-mail through our Contact Us page. Also, you may want to take advantage of some of the links to the right that can help you with your decision -making process.
Let's Be Personal
Each resident receives individual care and attention. Plus, if they would like, they may enjoy some solitude or engage with a staff member in an individual activity they prefer and enjoy.
