Bergquist Memorial at Heritage Village Retirement Campus is certified and licensed by the New York State Department of Health as an Adult Care Facility. Thirty-two residents call it their home, each occupying a private apartment specifically designed for comfort and security. Bergquist Memorial has an LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) on staff and includes 24-hour supervision. All residents have access to a balcony through the common living area, perfect for enjoying the warmth of spring and summer. | | Q: What is Rehab & Skilled Nursing? | | A: When an individual needs 24-hour nursing care and supervision, a skilled nursing facility is ideally the best option. A skilled nursing facility is a residence that provides continuous medical service to residents requiring extensive nursing or rehabilitative care by registered nurses, based on treatment prescribed by the resident’s personal or on-site physician. At Heritage Ministries, traditional long-term care is a thing of the past. Our rehab and skilled nursing facilities are no longer solely places where individuals spend their last years, but instead, caring, supportive environments that help active adults return to their homes. Each of these facilities provides skilled nursing and rehabilitative care in environments designed to promote a purposeful lifestyle. Heritage Park , Heritage Green , and Heritage Village , all house numerous adults working toward this goal. Each rehab & skilled nursing facility is licensed by the New York State Department of Health. All facilities allow Medicare, Medicaid, and supplemental insurances as payment. | | Q: What is Adult Day Care? | | A: Adult Day Care programs assist caregivers who have responsibility for an older adult who cannot be left alone during the day. Adult Day Care provides supportive staff, a secure group setting, supervision, meals, social work services, recreation and socialization. Individuals can be with other people and participate in daily activities. The Chautauqua Adult DayCare Center at Heritage Village provides a day program for frail or impaired older adults that enhances the quality of life for seniors and enables caregivers to receive a break from caregiving. For over twenty-five years, the program has helped delay nursing home placement and higher levels of care for the elderly. The day program specializes in the care of persons with Alzheimer's Disease and other related dementia. |
