We would just like to take a moment to express our appreciation to the Little Canada City staff for assisting us in our information gathering efforts and to the City Council for your willingness to consider our proposal. We at Comforts of Home feel that our concept plan can add not only value to the city, but amenities to the surrounding community as well. Comforts of Home is an assisted living and memory care community designed to assist those with mild to high levels of personal cares in a warm, home-like environment. Our suites offer private bathrooms, and a tea kitchen that includes a sink, refrigerator, and microwave. Our community provides a cozy and secure setting that ensures independence, dignity and safety. Comforts of Home is focusing on needs not being met by other assisted living and memory care communities. We offer a higher level of care and service to our residents allowing us to reach out to those in nursing homes that are not in need of 24 hour skilled care. We are filling a gap in the continuum of care by serving the needs to those caught between traditional assisted living and those in nursing homes requiring more extensive care. Many traditional assisted living communities will not admit residents that need acute levels of care. Residents at Comforts of Home can enjoy their private suites and retain their independence, while also enjoying the peace of mind that comes with 24-hour assistance. Comforts of Home is a proponent of aging in place. As a resident's frailty level increases, we work with family members to provide or coordinate the necessary health care resources. Our philosophy, staff training, and the use of community resources are geared to allow residents to remain in our home-like setting. At Comforts of Home, we think you should only pay for the services and care you need. Our rates are competitive and much lower than a nursing home rate. It is important to us at Comforts of Home to meet the needs of seniors and people under the age of 65 who are on the Elderly Waiver or CADI program. Therefore, we work closely with the county on these programs. Our rates are mostly inclusive and include your personal cares, 24 hour on site home care staff, Registered Nurse and LPN support, caregiver respond system, all meals, housekeeping, linen/laundry, monthly suite rent, all utilities and cable. We also have our own staff of physicians working with us at all of the communities. Our philosophy is to provide quality care to each resident at a competitive price with a personal touch. Our buildings are small and intimate which creates a cozy, comforting feeling. We value the relationships we build with our employees and the communities by creating stable, rewarding and good paying jobs, which in Little Canada, we expect to be at least 30 professional employment opportunities.
