Personal Services
Included in Inspirit's monthly Accommodation and Service Fee is up to 1½ hours of care per day, per apartment. The services that may be provided to each resident are flexible, depending on individual requirements. Assistance with activities of daily living is co-ordinated by the Director of Personal Care. Some residents may require assistance with bathing, dressing, grooming, and/or mobility to and from the dining room and Inspirit activities.
Most residents opt for having their apartments cleaned on a regular basis. Other options for use of personal service time may be to have beds made, laundry washed, dried and folded, pictures or drapes hung, furniture re-arranged, garbage removed, batteries changed, mail picked-up, or perhaps to have someone shop for groceries once a week. Personal Service Workers (PSWs) are on duty 14 hours a day to assist residents with the activities of daily living, and to complete household tasks.
It may be decided that a person who is interested in coming to Inspirit requires more care than is offered in Inspirit's monthly Accommodation and Service Fee. If this is the case, the potential resident may purchase additional personal care services over and above the 1½ hours of service per day, per apartment, that is provided with Inspirit's monthly Accommodation and Service Fee.
