At Edencrest, we believe that every resident deserves care tailored to their unique needs. That’s why we offer Individualized Service Plans, designed to provide the right level of support while promoting independence and well-being.
Your journey begins with a Personalized Wellness Review conducted by our experienced nursing team. This thorough assessment evaluates your needs, preferences, and lifestyle to ensure the best possible care plan. Based on this review, you will be placed into one of five customized service packages, ensuring you receive just the right amount of assistance—nothing more, nothing less.
Our five-tiered care approach allows for seamless transitions as your needs evolve. Whether you require minimal support with daily tasks or more comprehensive assistance, our compassionate team is here to provide dignified, responsive, and proactive care every step of the way.
Memory Care residents will be assessed for an additional level of care service, which would be in addition to the monthly rent. These services are based on the assessment by a nurse of the Individualized Service Plan and time spent with your loved one. Assessments will be conducted by a nurse on pre-move, 30 days, 90 days, annually and/or with any change of condition. This assessment determines the Individualized Service Plan for the resident.
Residents may choose to add on services each month such as guest meals, tray service, additional laundry service, private transportation, RN services, etc.
A one-time fee will be due at move-in to cover upkeep, replacement of carpet or apartment repair and general maintenance.
