ASK THE EXPERTS CONTINUED

Q: Are all senior living nursing
centers institutional?
A: Many nursing homes look and
feel more like a hospital than a
home. Richfield Living has adopted
the Household Model of Care
that began with a simulation on
Mountain View Lane. This residentcentered care builds around 19-21
residents with private rooms. The
teams stay within the home to build
family like relationships with the
residents. Soon, Richfield will tear
down the current building to create
this model for more residents.

Q:  Are you considering a
retirement community setting
for a loved one who needs extra
assistance?
A: We advise doing following when
researching: (1) Visit multiple
communities. (2) Request a tour
and anticipate spending 1-2 hours
with the admissions staff. (3) Get
to know the management team and
multiple residents. (4) Ask about the
community's financial stability. (5)
Learn about the community's care
offerings. (6) Participate in the life
of the community: attend an activity
or enjoy a meal.

Q: I've been hearing a lot about
Warm Hearth being the state's
first Dementia Friendly Business. 
What does this mean?
A: Warm Hearth partnered with
Dementia Friends and Leading Age
Virginia to create a plan and train
our employees, residents, family
and community stakeholders about
the challenges faced by seniors
with Dementia. We offer monthly
training on our campus and we
are reaching out to the business
community in hopes of helping
individuals understand how to
recognize the signs of Dementia,
how to offer assistance and how
to refer seniors and their families
to local community resources that
will help them remain safe and
independent.

Q: Why is lifelong learning
important during your senior
years?
A: Learning a new skill or topic
allows our brain to work in
different ways and protects our
cognitive health. That's why lifelong
learning programs, like our RUI
University, are designed to provide
intellectual engagement and social
connection to our residents and
visitors. Established in 2017, RUI
University offers semester-based
courses through partnerships with
universities, colleges and museums
by coupling lectures, outings and
hands on activities.
