5 Reasons your loved one will thrive at The Gables of Blackfoot

Community

Research shows that seniors have a much lower mortality rate when they can socialize and interact often with others. Social isolation has become a growing problem among elderly people who live at home alone. Here at The Gables of Blackfoot your loved one will have endless opportunities to socialize in our living and dining areas, make friends with other residents, and talk openly with trusted staff members who are like family. We also pride ourselves on having an inviting place where residents feel comfortable inviting their family to visit outside on the patio or in the privacy of their own suite.

Maintenance-free Living

These beloved seniors have “done their time” when it comes to maintaining home and family. We all could learn many valuable lessons from them, but it is time for them to relax and put their feet up while we take care of the tedious work. The Gables of Blackfoot will take care of planning meals, grocery shopping, preparing meals, cleaning up and doing dishes, laundry, housekeeping, room and facility maintenance and more. Living at The Gables of Blackfoot is like having your own personal chef, maid, handyman, and chauffeur. Let us take the work out of living, so you have more time to do the things you love.

Safety

Safety of our residents is of utmost importance to us at The Gables of Blackfoot. Each resident will be provided a call button they can wear around their neck at all times. Simply pushing the button will call for help, and one of our staff members will come running to assist as needed. Rooms are equipped with safety rails, walk-in showers, and there are also rails in the hallways. Doors with a passcode allow us to ensure safety of our residents so that we can control who is entering and exiting the building.

Health Management

The Gables of Blackfoot knows that health is not simply managing medicine. Overall health includes mental, physical, social, emotional and spiritual. As mentioned earlier, living as part of a community is already proven to increase seniors mental, emotional and social health. The Gables of Blackfoot will provide three balanced,nutritional meals each day. Staff can also help with those residents who have a difficult time keeping track of their medicines or remembering to take them. This gives residents and their family members peace of mind that all aspects of health are constantly being grown in our facility.
