What is the staff ratio and why is it important to me?
Our homes are located in prime residential areas and have a maximum of three seniors per house. Qualified live-in staff provide consistency of care and familiarity, at a 3 to 1 ratio. The resident to staff ratio can mean a lot when deciding which size facility you should be looking at. For instance, if a resident has a need for on going daily nursing care, a large facility may have such a person full time on their staff, whereas the actual hands on care givers at a small facility, having fewer people to care for, will get to know their resident on a more personal level. The care giver in a small facility may be able to develop a sense of knowing when something is bothering a resident just by looking at them, much like family members do with each other.
