Additional & Optional Assistance & Care Services
Quantitative Assessment of Resident Care Needs (Scores of 7 or more).
As residents age in place, additional services or assistance may become
necessary. Many necessary additional services are available on an as-needed
basis. This allows those residents who require additional services to pay for
and receive the services they need. It also does not penalize residents that do
not require additional services to pay for something they do not need.
Quantitative Assessment of Resident Care Needs is completed by the Health
Services Coordinator (a licensed nurse) and will be discussed with residents and
responsible parties prior to any additional charges being assessed. Optional
services and charges require the signed approval of the responsible party and
may include any of the following activities of daily living:
- Bathing
- Dressing
- Continence
- Ambulation
- Nutrition
- Medication Management and Distribution
- Cognition
- Lifestyle Management
- Complexity of Care

Coordinator.
