OUR DIETICIAN
As people age, their bodies become less efficient when absorbing and utilizing nutrients. Therefore, they need to increase their nutrient intake to supplement this change.
Seniors with certain chronic illnesses and conditions take medication to manage their illnesses. One side-effect of the medication is that it negatively impacts their metabolism and their nutritional absorption. They will need more nutrients to counter the nutritional imbalance in such cases.
At The Village we have a dietician who knows the importance of nutrition and the significant impact food has on the physical body, bone health, cognitive health, and the immune system. So meal plans are designed for each individual.
INDEPENDENT LIVING, SEMI-INDEPENDENT LIVING, SEMI-FRAIL AND FRAIL CARE
We offer options for Independent Living, Semi-Independent Living, Semi-Frail and Frail Care.
For those who could benefit from a little help with daily activities such as medication reminders, dressing and bathing Semi-Independent Living at The Village is a great solution. The Village promotes choice, dignity, privacy, independence, and individuality.
Our supportive lifestyle is designed to enhance self-esteem by helping residents stay as independent as possible for as long as possible, no matter what their current abilities may be. We provide just the right amount of assistance along with supportive activities.
