Bring a little “residence” with you, and we’ll do the rest
Omni rooms have been designed with a strong focus on maintaining individuality, independence, privacy and security. We encourage residents to bring familiar bedspreads from home to personalize their space and evoke familiarity. In Long-term care, Bedding including mattresses, pillows, sheets, washcloths and towels are provided, as well as a laundry service. In retirement, we welcome you to bring items and furnishings.
Standard bedroom furnishings may include an adjustable bed with head and foot boards, adjustable bed rails, bedside table, wardrobe for clothing and other belongings, and a comfortable chair. There’s ample room to add to or replace furnishings with your own pieces from residence. Note that all items that are brought in must be able to be disinfected properly.
Identification of resident’s rooms can be determined by a number of way-finding elements that may include:
- Contrasting room numbers outside room door
- Name plates outside room door
- Placement of familiar objects from residence within the room, i.e. bedspread, chair, dresser
Televisions
Televisions are provided in lounge areas for residents to use. If a resident would like to have their own personal TV in their room, the family can make arrangements to have one brought in and installed at the resident’s expense.
Telephones
If you anticipate regular phone calls as part of the resident’s routine, we recommend installing a private phone line. Families can contact an Administrator or General Manager directly to arrange setup and billing.
