FAQ

How is a senior living center different from a nursing home?

A senior living center such as Azalea House provides assistance to adults who do not necessarily require 24-hour supervision, but seek guidance with daily tasks. These include personal cleanliness and grooming, general health care and medication. The living center staff is trained to cater to each individual's needs regarding nutrition, medications, housekeeping services and other social activities they might be interested in. Along with providing them a peaceful place to spend their lives, we make sure that they are treated with dignity and respect, and allotted as much freedom as they are capable of handling.

Are the residents allowed to furnish/decorate their personal abode?

Our aim is to make them feel completely at home. So yes, they are free to furnish their personal spaces as they desire.

How do the new residents settle in?

We consider it important to learn all about our residents, their individual personalities, backgrounds, preferences and talents. So our staff members prefer to spend time with each new resident and really get to know them. In this way we can schedule their entire stay more conveniently and enjoyably.
