Questions and Answers About Health Services
|
The Village at Duxbury provides the
assurance of a full continuum of care through the
healthcare services of the Welch family of companies.
IF I SHOULD FALL AND INJURE MYSELF, WHO WILL HELP ME?
For your safety, every home in The Village is equipped
with an emergency response system. As personnel are on
staff 24-hours per day, if you have a medical emergency,
concerned assistance will arrive promptly.
WHAT IF I HAVE A SEVERE PROBLEM, SUCH AS A BROKEN
HIP?
Following treatment by your own physician, you will have
priority access to Bay Path Nursing and Rehabilitation
Center, a licensed nursing center adjacent to The
Village. A 120-bed facility, Bay Path provides all
levels of nursing and rehabilitation services. While you
recover from your injury or illness, you enjoy the
attention of skilled nurses, therapists, a licensed
dietician and professional activities director. An added
measure of reassurance comes from the fact that Bay Path
is a Welch family-owned company. Highly respected, Welch
family businesses have served the healthcare and housing
needs of South Shore seniors for over 50 years. You are,
of course, free to choose another provider and arrange
for your own services.
IF I DEVELOP A CONDITION THAT MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR
ME TO BATHE OR DRESS ON MY OWN, WHAT HAPPENS?
Should you require ongoing consistent help with some of
life’s daily activities such as bathing, dressing,
keeping track of medications, meal planning and
preparation and so on, you may opt to sell your
cooperative share and move to one of our comfortable,
thoughtfully designed Allerton House Assisted Living
Residences. There, in your own apartment surrounded by
your own treasured belongings, your comfort will be
enhanced by personal care tailored to your needs. A full
complement of meals is served daily in the attractive
dining room. And you’ll find a full slate of activities
planned for every interest.
Short-term temporary stays are also available in our
furnished respite apartment.
WHAT OTHER PROGRAMS ARE AVAILABLE AT THE VILLAGE?
Our Resident Care Director offers preventative programs
and assistance with coordination of healthcare services.
The Village promotes a healthy lifestyle through an
exceptional fitness program. Our certified trainers
offer a full weekly schedule of classes—strength
training, aerobics, conditioning and flexibility,
special arthritis classes, balance, weight lifting and
walking. Our indoor heated pool is available for
swimming as well as scheduled classes. Under the
direction of our experience senior trainers, a
personalized exercise regime, appropriate to the
individual’s ability level will be designed for the
resident.
