Who Lives with Us?

How Do We Assist Our Residents?
Every resident is unique – and special to us – and, their needs are unique, and can change over time.
We do a complimentary consultation with input from the resident, their family, and Lebensraum staff, to discuss and evaluate current needs. As needs change, the individual’s plan will be adjusted if necessary. Modifying a resident’s care does not affect their monthly costs.
We offer, without additional fees, the following assistance:
- Daily vital signs (blood pressure, pulse rate, and body temperature)
- Nebulizers, oxygen, BIBAP/CPAP
- Blood sugar checks and/or insulin administration
- Whirlpool baths (2 per week scheduled, but additional when needed)
- Injection assistance
- Specimen collection
- Wound care assistance
- Personal checks by a register nurse (RN)
- Ordering medications and supplies
- Scheduling medical appointments
These services are included in addition to the everyday assistance from our staff including monitoring medications, bathing/showering, dressing/grooming, meals, housekeeping, and laundry.
Pre-admission Evaluation
Lebensraum offers assisted living and is not a nursing home or skilled care facility. We cannot accept persons requiring daily nursing cares, complex nursing interventions, or anyone with a condition that is considered unstable or unpredictable.
Staff will conduct a pre-admission evaluation to determine if Lebensraum is the right place for you.
Social Activities
Socialization is important to healthy aging. Spending time with others is vital for our mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Participating in a variety of activities with others at Lebensraum helps our residents share their life’s stories, stay active, and know that they are never alone.
Our community helps ease the burden off family caregivers, who can experience stress, burnout, and financial difficulties.
Your Plan – One Price
Our pricing covers all amenities and services, we do not charge for different “levels of care”.
Lebensraum’s plan covers everything within the monthly price, there are no additional charges for levels of care. That reflects our, Your Plan – One Price.
Most facilities charge additional fees per “level of care” for required services including bathing, eating, dressing, toileting, personal cares, & mobility – Lebensraum does not.
