Technology to Facilitate Health and Wellness
The world has been revolutionized by technology, at resident care at Grand Villa is no different. Villa Care Technology/Villa Care Program develops and communicates an individualized and detailed resident care plan, including all ADLs (activities of daily living), medications, dietary restrictions, and more. This personalized Resident Care Technology includes innovative Medication Management, which utilizes electronic medical records to facilitate medication ordering and delivery by a preferred provider. A state-of-the-art alert system enhances the accuracy and on-time delivery of prescription medication. In addition, most generic over-the-counter medications are free of charge to residents who utilize the community’s preferred pharmacy. The Villa Care Portal also sends automatic alerts to the administration and care staff, so family members can feel secure that their loved one is being well taken care of.
The Memory Care Neighborhood integrates essential safety features – such as motion sensors – in each apartment. When activated, caregivers can respond appropriately. Ambient lights are also motion-activated in and around the bathroom, providing a guiding light during the night. The SafetyNet Tracking System provides safety and security when residents leave the community for any reason.
