Daily Life

Meals

High quality food plays a critical role in the quality of life we all experience. Arthur’s assisted living services include meals and snacks which are prepared in our kitchen and are shared family style with clients and staff around the dining room table. Clients get to enjoy rich cooking aromas, and are encouraged to participate in meal preparation when desired. When each person moves in we’ll add their favorite meals to the menu to make it feel more like home. Family and friends are always welcome!  Snacks, including fresh fruit and vegetables as well as some traditional sweets like cookies, cake or muffins, are available on request 24 hours a day. We are able to accommodate special diets such as gluten-free, low-salt, low-fat, mechanically soft, pureed, etc.

Transportation

Transportation to activities, medical appointments, community outings or simply a trip to the mall is provided by our trained staff as a part of our assisted living services. Getting out and about can be a very refreshing activity for everyone!

Activities

Our assisted living services include a variety of activities tailored around each client’s social, emotional and spiritual needs and interests. Activities may include listening to music, nature, bird and wildlife watching, reading, religious activities, playing games, watching a ballgame, and doing baking and crafts in the home. Looking at family photo albums or items in a treasure box can also help to trigger wonderful memories. Some of our favorite community activities include trips to the conservatory, movies, concerts, going out to eat, walks, picnics, shopping and more.

Housekeeping and Laundry

Housekeeping and laundry are included in the monthly rate for assisted living services. Clients who wish to remain independent are encouraged to participate at any level they are able. Sometimes being able to help with household tasks is an important way for a client to remain engaged in day-to-day activity. Bed sheets and towels are provided.
