Happier patients are healthier patients.
We believe this wholeheartedly at Heartland
Nursing Center. That's why our patients live their lives with
personal choice. Even though they are giving up their homes
for a little while or sometimes longer, they still have ways
to be in control at Heartland. While some may say this is a
revolution in nursing center care, we believe it's just the
best, most affordable way to live.
What and When to
Eat
One choice our patients make every day is what
and when to eat. They may select from a
number of menu items or even ask us to bring them food from a
restaurant. We have extended dining hours so they can
come to the dining room when it best fits their own schedule.
As a result, our patients have gained healthy, vital pounds.
How and When to
Bathe
They can also start their days off happier
because they get to choose whether to take a shower or a bath
and at what time of the day. Our patients tell us whether
they want to bathe when they first get up or if they prefer
bedtime. Or maybe it's somewhere in between. On a
related note, the patients choose whether to be early risers or
hoot owls - the time to rise and shine and go to bed is also up
to our patients.
Your "Home" Décor
Another personal choice they make is their room
décor. Of course, they can bring pieces of furniture from
home. But we'll also change the color of the room to suit
their fancy.
Personal Choice is at the
Heart of it
