Our rooms are a mix between carpet and hardwood floors. On the hardwood floors, we have no-slip coverings so that residents will not slip when trying to get in to or out of their chairs or bed.
Housekeeping
When residents live in our senior housing, they never have to worry about housekeeping. We have a wonderful team of housekeepers that clean their rooms and do their laundry. Every resident will be on a schedule to ensure that their room is cleaned and laundry washed weekly. It is our current policy that when residents are up getting their shower, their bed is being made fresh at the same time because there is nothing better than getting into a clean bed after feeling refreshed by a shower!
