Accommodations:
Southgate offers both private and semi-private room accommodations that are comfortably furnished and tastefully decorated in soothing color schemes. Residences are welcome to enhance their rooms by displaying photographs and decorative items, even with their own linens. The garden rooms and lounges throughout offer the perfect setting to relax or socialize with family and friends. Our beautifully landscaped grounds are equally attractive; residents are welcome to entertain guests in the courtyard, on one of the patios, or simply with a stroll around the grounds.
Other amenities, such as cable, telephone service, laundry service, and a full service beauty salon are available. For the convenience of our residents and families, we arrange medical diagnostic tests and specialty services (ie, laboratory, x-ray, pharmacy, podiatry, dental, ophthalmology, optometry) to be provided and/or performed on-site whenever possible.
Activities Programs
Our diverse calendar of events provides our residents the opportunity to pursue new interests and enjoy favorite pastimes. We offer a variety of programs ranging from one-on-one visits to large group activities, suited to meet each individual resident's preference. Holidays and special events are enthusiastically celebrated with theme meals, lavish decorations and entertainment for all to enjoy. Residents remain productive through involvement with community oriented activities, including trips to shopping centers, restaurants, and local events. We also plan frequent visits by our volunteers, school groups, and community organizations. Specialized programs, such as aromatherapy and sensory stimulation, are offered to residents who suffer from Alzheimer's and other dementia like disorders. Personal care and spiritual services are also available on a regular basis.
Dining Services
We value the social aspects of dining and encourage our residents to dine in our tastefully decorated during dining room. Our residents have the opportunity to order from a menu and are served waitress style. Our residents are served breakfast in their rooms, however, we also offer buffet breakfast in the dining room for those residents who prefer to sleep in and enjoy breakfast at a later time. At Southgate, we recognize that nutrition is a major factor in maintaining good health. Our registered dietitian plans selective menus to provide each resident with a healthy well balanced diet.
