Question 1

Services: What do the Homes provide?

Accepted Answer

Residents must be able to get to the dining room for meals under their own power, although in some circumstances that can include a power wheelchair. Residents respect the privacy of each other’s rooms and avoid actions/behavior that would compromise others’ quality of life. Early dementia, including memory loss and some confusion, can often be accommodated. We can serve insulin dependent diabetics if they are on a regular insulin dose – one that is not variable - and if they can self-inject.

Question 2

Are you nursing homes?

Accepted Answer

Bradley House and Holton Home are licensed residential care homes.  We provide services and supervision around the clock but not skilled nursing care.  Call for help in determining what’s best.  We do participate in the Choices for Care program.

Question 3

Is there a nurse there all the time?

Accepted Answer

Each Home's full-time RN works Monday – Friday and is on-call at all other times.

Question 4

Do you help with transportation?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we can help with medical appointments.

Question 5

My loved one needs a special diet.

Accepted Answer

We follow all doctor’s orders for diets from diabetic to gluten free.  We can also cut up food before serving it.  Preferences are respected whenever possible.

Question 6

I just need a place for my family member on a temporary basis.

Accepted Answer

We offer short-term stays! This is a great way to get to know us for few days or a season. We also provide respite care whenever space is available.  Perhaps usual caregivers need a break or have out-of-town plans, or assistance may be needed while recovering from an injury or illness.

Question 7

How do I know it’s time for this change?

Accepted Answer

Everyone’s different.  Many of our residents tell us they weren’t sure the time had come but once they got here they were surprised to realize how much work it was to live alone.  Now they have time and energy to enjoy life.  Concerned about your loved one’s forgetfulness?  Be sure they’re safe, and make a move while they’re still able to easily learn and adapt to their new home.

Question 8

I’m worried about how the transition to a new place will go.

Accepted Answer

Change is always hard but we’ve helped hundreds of elders settle into their new Home.  Be assured that with improved nutrition, medication management, personal care and social and intellectual stimulation, you’re likely to see positive changes.
