What does the monthly fee generally include?
The monthly fee typically includes the residence, many utilities, meals, community programming, transportation, and staffing. In The Pines, personal assistance services are included according to an individual plan. At move-in, families receive a clear list of inclusions.
Are there additional charges for care services?
When someone needs more support than their basic plan provides, additional services can be added and clearly documented. Plans are reviewed routinely, so support stays aligned with current needs and preferences.
How do you determine the right level of support?
An assessment looks at mobility, cognition, medication routines, nutrition, and social interests. Together, the team and family map out a plan that meets today’s needs and anticipates tomorrow’s, so there is a clear path if support increases.
Is care personalized?
Yes. Plans reflect daily rhythms, privacy preferences, and meaningful activities, from morning coffee routines to favorite exercise classes. Associates regularly check in to refine the plan with the individual and family.
What happens if needs increase over time?
Support can be adjusted in place to avoid unnecessary moves. If a higher level of service is recommended, the team helps coordinate a smooth transition and communicates each step.
What is dining like, and are dietary needs accommodated?
Meals are freshly prepared and served in welcoming spaces that encourage conversation. The culinary team accommodates preferences and medical diets, including low-sodium, diabetic-friendly, and gluten-free.
What social activities and outings are offered?
Expect fitness and balance classes, craft and discussion groups, movie nights, neighborhood walks, and trips to local events. The calendar blends familiar favorites with new experiences so people can explore at their own pace.
