Assisted Living Communities: Important Questions to Ask Before Choosing

Wilf Campus for Senior Living is a place that cares for older adults in central New Jersey. We offer several senior living models, including assisted living, which provides personalized care and support with daily activities – all while residents maintain a sense of independence. Wilf Campus for Senior Living has a mission that extends beyond providing care, creating a strong sense of unity and shared responsibility with patients, their families, and our community.

With over 40 years of experience caring for older adults, we understand that choosing a new place to live for you or your loved ones can be difficult. Run by compassionate staff available 24/7, our Stein Assisted Living Community is a residence that serves individuals in Somerset, NJ, and the surrounding counties. Here, we discuss questions you should ask before choosing an assisted living community for yourself or a loved one.

Does the Staff Include a Medical Director?

When older adults need help with the tasks of daily living, this usually includes some medical care. That’s why it’s so important to understand the extent of the training and medical services available. We’ve found that having medical directors on staff makes a considerable difference. Staff policies and training are more cohesive, and this allows the team to effectively work together. The management team at Wilf Campus for Senior Living includes medical professionals with advanced degrees and training who take responsibility for the care of our residents.

Residents in our Transitional Care Program receive a comprehensive assessment by a physician on staff, who specializes in geriatric care with a focus on dementia and memory loss. When residents show signs of memory loss but don’t yet need to move into our secure memory care community, they can receive extra support from well-trained professionals in our transitional assisted living environment.

What Are Caregiver Qualifications?

Are the caregivers registered nurses (RNs)? Or licensed practical nurses (LPNs)? Both of these degrees are held by professional nurses who are caring and qualified. However, RNs have more training. At Wilf Campus for Senior Living, we believe there’s a place for a variety of caregivers whose work is directed by qualified physicians and RNs. We provide dedicated specially trained staff at our assisted living community, including dementia-trained and certified home health aides and certified nursing assistants.

Our medically supervised staff offers a full continuum of healthcare services that include:

Stein Assisted Living Community residents can count on the quality, nurturing care guided by Wilf Care, a name synonymous with excellence in care for older adults.

Are Caregivers On-Site 24/7?

Whether caregivers are available every day and night can impact the health and security of residents in assisted living communities. Family members and loved ones should not assume that this is the case when searching for a new home for older adults. Ask how many caregivers are available, both day and night.

At Wilf Campus for Senior Living, caregivers are always on-site, and the care is directed by medical professionals, with a licensed nurse on the premises at all times. In addition, our studio, one-bedroom, and shared apartments all are equipped with emergency call buttons.

How Are Staff Trained?

Ask about the curriculum and training programs for new caregivers. Assisted living communities should have ready answers for those interested in finding senior living arrangements. The management team at Wilf Campus for Senior Living adheres to the highest standards for training, clinical compliance, quality assurance, and performance improvement for all staff.

How Does the Community Keep Residents Engaged?

At Wilf Campus for Senior Living, our experienced, compassionate team is the heart of our community. All staff members are dedicated to ensuring the well-being and comfort of our residents, as well as assisting them with the activities they enjoy most. Our Resident Engagement Coordinators works with residents throughout the assisted living community. We recognize that this is a key part of the physical, social, and spiritual fulfillment of our residents.

Regardless of cognitive ability, there are activities available for all of those in our care. Assisted living activities and amenities include exercise classes, board games, book clubs, arts and crafts, shopping trips, music programs, and other excursions.

What Assurances Are There for Resident Safety?

This is probably the question that is most in the minds of family members, loved ones, and potential residents. Wilf Campus for Senior Living provides a safe, secure assisted living residence, with care available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. As residents age, they can take advantage of a continuum of health care on-site, including a secure memory care residence, transitional dementia care, and skilled nursing services, providing further peace of mind that their needs will always be met.
