How Personalized Care Shapes Daily Life at Pomerelle Place Senior Living

At Pomerelle Place, personalized care means your day runs on your preferences. Your morning routine, favorite meals, and the right level of support are all provided by our caring team members every day of the year. This resident-centered approach helps you to live independently while enjoying fulfilling activities, great dining, and peace of mind in Burley, Idaho.

If you find that you need a little extra help with daily activities, you are far from alone. According to the US Administration for Community Living, a person who turns 65 today has a nearly 70% chance of needing long-term care services in the future. That's why choosing a community where care adapts to you, rather than the other way around, truly matters.

What Is Personalized Care?

Let's imagine that you have no trouble getting yourself around, but managing in the shower? That's getting tricky.

Resident-Centered Care

At Pomerelle Place, your personalized care package will note that you need a little caregiver support to get in and out of the shower -- nothing more. That's exactly what you'll receive unless your needs change and you need further assistance in the future.

This flexibility is at the heart of personalized care. No two residents have the same needs, so why would they have the same support? Each resident receives individualized support while being able to continue doing everything else independently.

Care That Fits Personal Routines

Personalized care means letting you take the lead. When you move into a senior living community, you may worry that there will be a rigid framework. However, at Pomerelle Place, nothing could be further from the truth.

We take our residents' personal routines into account.Are you someone who likes to stay in bed a little longer in the morning? That's fine.

If you're an early bird, support will be there exactly when you need it. Not all daily care services in Idaho provide this kind of support, but at Pomerelle Place, it is our privilege to adapt to your needs.

What Are the Six Principles of Personalized Care?

There are six widely recognized principles that describe what personalized care should deliver. Here's how they show up in daily life at Pomerelle Place. 

1. Shared Decision-Making

An important part of aging with dignity is maintaining your autonomy in decision-making. Personalized care allows you to be at the center of all decisions made about your care plan. You (and your family if you choose) will work along with the care team to set goals and create your daily plan.

2. Personalized Plans

Your personal care plan is a living document. It reflects your strengths, preferences, dietary needs, and wellness goals. As your needs change, it evolves with you.

3. Enabling Choice

From choosing the right apartment floor plan to what you want to eat for dinner, you can make your own choices. That way, daily life continues to be meaningful to you, without having to fit into someone else's mold.

4. Supported Self-Management

Independence and mobility are encouraged through the program of wellness and fitness classes on offer at Pomerelle Place. 

5. Connection With the Community

Full activity calendars, local outings, and on-site spaces make it easy to stay connected with friends, interests, and the local Burley community.

6. Coordinated Services

While personalized care prioritizes maintaining independence, this final point recognizes that help needs to be on hand 24/7. At Pomerelle Place, you can live your own life with confidence, knowing that qualified and kind caregivers are on hand at all times of the day and night to provide reassurance and support.

Daily Life, Your Way

Here are a few ways you can set the pace each day:

• Personalized morning routine, including wake-up time and bathing preferences.
• Restaurant-style dining that allows you to choose from local favorites and international classics, cooked just the way you like them.
• Our Vibrant Life program allows you to create your own daily schedule of activities, outings, and social events.

This approach is the definition of resident-centered care: a way of life that respects and responds to each person's goals, values, and preferences. At the same time, each resident gets exactly the support they need.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Is Personalized Care Different From More Care?

Personalized in this context does not mean more; it's about getting the right help and the right time. Personalized care can be scaled up or down depending on your needs, preferences, and goals, rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.

So, there's no need to worry that you will no longer do anything for yourself. Our focus is on helping you remain independent for as long as possible.

Can Personalized Care Support Couples With Different Needs?

You may finish each other's sentences, but your care needs may be very different! Rest assured that whether you are a single resident or here with your significant other, you will have a care plan that is built individually, but still allows you to enjoy life together.

What if My Needs Change Suddenly?

Personalized plans are living documents. If you experience a health challenge or if you achieve a health goal, your plan can be quickly adjusted to reflect your current needs.

We also understand that some needs are short-term. For example, you may need extra help getting into and out of bed and going to the bathroom after a spell in hospital. However, once you regain your strength and stamina, we can scale back the support, allowing you to maintain your independence.
