We gather under the label Cross Keys@Home a variety of services designed to make the life of our villagers easier, more comfortable and safer. Our goal is to help our villagers age “in-place” longer without leaving their residence. The Cross Keys@Home team provides some of these services directly… and helps coordinate many other services with dependable local providers.
Residential Health Nursing
The sheer size of our community enables us to keep our Residential Health Nurses available to villagers during extensive hours, seven days a week, ready to provide services such as health-related assessments, first aid, and medication assistance. They perform emergency response visits for falls, cold symptoms, general malaise, vertigo, chest pains, respiratory distress, etc. In addition, they follow up and check on villagers during or following illness, injury or hospitalization, to ensure that needs are identified and addressed.
For a moderate additional fee, they will perform treatments including wound care, dressing changes, injections, medication administration, eye drops or other topical medication application, blood glucose monitoring, as well as refill medication planners.
Resident Support Services
The Resident Support team consists of a Resident Support Coordinator and a Resident Support Specialist. Both of them are Social Workers, trained and knowledgeable about various supportive services that are available to our villagers. Those services may be CKV-based, or provided by outside agencies or organizations. The goal of the Resident Support team is to provide support and guidance to villagers who may be experiencing some challenges when it comes to “aging in place” in their residential home. Once needs are identified, we help with obtaining resources on campus and in the wider community. The team also helps coordinate when villagers need to transition to Mission Point Personal Care, Brookside, or Health Care.
Housekeeping
Many villagers appreciate regularly scheduled housecleaning or some extra help from time to time. Village Housekeeping offers the assistance of skilled, fully insured professionals who understand the way you like your home to be cleaned. Services include bathroom, kitchen and other living spaces, inside windows (including curtains/blinds), walls and ceilings (including light fixtures), carpets and floors, even the insides of appliances. These services may be scheduled on a one-time basis or regularly. The fee schedule is competitive, and the charges appear on villagers’ monthly statements.
