At Easy Living, we have care partners serving clients throughout the greater community. Many clients live in their homes. Some clients live with loved ones. Other clients live in senior living communities. We are happy to serve all of our clients, no matter where they live!
Over the past few years, more and more Easy Living clients have been living in senior living communities. We are thrilled to serve clients in their apartments there and to introduce other parts of the senior care industry to our amazing care partners.
If you work with a client who is in a senior living community, remember that you are a part of that client’s care team and you are a representative of our agency. Here are some tips to remember while working in a senior living community:
- Always wear your Easy Living nametag. This is important so that people know who you are, but also because of state and federal senior living regulations.
- In addition to clocking in and out for Easy Living records, you may also have to sign in and out at the senior living receptionist desk.
- Senior living communities offer activity calendars full of events your client may enjoy. Talk to them about the calendar for the day and escort them to activities they are interested in.
- Escort your client to meals in the dining room, if applicable. Sit beside them and offer discreet assistance as needed.
- It’s okay to get to know other residents in the senior living community. Wave and say hello! However, be sure you are not providing care or assistance to anyone unless they are your client for that shift.
- Be friendly, professional, and helpful to the senior living community team.
- Call us with any questions or concerns that might pop up while working with a client who lives in senior living.
Thank you for representing our agency so well in senior living communities!
