Small Setting, Big Difference, 24 Hour Care Fidelis Residential Care Homes are the caring alternative to nursing homes. We provide high-quality assisted living senior care through close supervision, activities, quality meals and assistance with activities of daily living in a pleasant, intimate setting for a limited number of residents. Fidelis Residential Care Homes: Owned and Operated by 3 Registered Nurses with over 55 years of combined experience Highest Caregiver-to-Resident Ratios 24-hour Protective Oversight and Assistance Screened, Trained and Experienced Caregivers Private and Semi-Private Rooms Available The Personal Care Home has become the preferred model of care in assisted living. The intimate setting and limited number of residents allows for each caregiver to become personally familiar with the capabilities, limitations, needs and personality of each resident. Not only does this result in a more comfortable, supportive and respectful home for each resident, it translates into better protective oversight and assistance. It also allows for residents to better acclimate to their surroundings and their caregivers. Room (private or semi-private accommodation) Room furnishings (as needed; dresser, nightstand, lamp, chair, bed) 24 Hour Supervision and Monitoring (protective oversight) Bathing Assistance Dressing, Grooming Assistance Ambulation/Transferring Supervision Medication Supervision Socialization/Activities/Entertainment 3 Meals and Snacks Daily Linens/bedding Laundering of machine washable clothing/linens Housekeeping PERSONAL CARE IN COMFORTABLE, MORE INTIMATE SURROUNDINGS Every resident receives personal attention and assistance tailored to his or her specific need, as well as one-on-one encouragement to maintain as many of his or her abilities and as much independence as possible. No resident is "lost in the crowd" or left behind a closed apartment door to fend for themselves. Qualified caregivers provide daily meals, housekeeping, medications supervision, and personal assistance. We also take the time to communicate with families to ensure that they are well informed of all care issues. At Fidelis, caring for a small number of residents means greater attention to the care needs of our residents, and greater peace of mind for everyone. Caregivers notice subtle changes in residents quickly and are able to alert physicians or family members of warning signs and any other changes. Caregivers are always nearby and residents need not rely only on emergency pull cords or similar devices to call for help from a distant nurse's station. Each resident is cared for and treated like family. Those with memory loss or moderate, non-aggressive dementia are also well suited to a more intimate environment. Residents easily become familiar with the small setting, consistent staff and a limited number of other residents around them.To learn more about this provider’s license and review other available state reports, please visit: Louisiana Deparment of Health Adult Residential Care Directory
