The Household Approach
The 60-bed Apostles Center for Care is made up of three households, each accommodating 15 to 22 residents. Our households differ from a traditional nursing home or senior care facility in a number of ways:
- Household staff members work together as a team to meet the needs of residents.
- Each household team is charged with working together efficiently, with a high degree of trust to provide the highest-quality, most home-like senior Team members are trained to work through communication and conflict issues.
- Household staff members work in blended roles and assist with housekeeping, laundry, and dining service. The team is not solely responsible for these tasks but works cooperatively with these service areas in order to provide the best possible service and resident-centered care.
- Each household features a living room where residents and visitors gather, group activities such as musical programs or pet therapy take place, and residents and staff can interact.
