Mom Loves The Comfort Zone!
Mom has been going to the Comfort Zone three times a week for three years. She loves it
and so do we! She has made wonderful friends who love her and engage her. The nurses and
CNAs are just as loving, caring and attentive. The activities director is a firecracker
who keeps mom busy...There is a monthly caregiver's support group - a great way to blow
off steam and ask questions. We are so blessed to have such a safe, loving and caring
facility right in our backyard. Chris, daughter of Millie

Information on Advance Directives
- Advance Directive is a general term that applies to two types of legal documents: Living
Wills and Medical Powers of Attorney.
- These documents let you give instructions about the medical care you want to receive in the
event that you become unable to speak for yourself due to serious illness or incapacity.
- A living will provides specific instructions. A medical power of attorney names a person
that you trust to make decisions on your behalf.
- The Geriatric Services Department provides information about Advance Directives to those 65
and older.
Express Ride
- Free door-to-door shuttle service to hospital outpatient treatments for qualified senior and
disabled residents.
Lifeline
The Lifeline system offers peace of mind for anyone living alone.
- Wear the Lifeline pendant around your neck.
- If a medical emergency occurs, simply push the button on the pendant and you are in
immediate contact with a Lifeline monitor.
- Your monitor quickly assesses your needs and contacts, as directed, either a family member
or professional help, such as a rescue squad.
- The Lifeline service is on call 24 hours-a-day, seven days-a-week.
