“We reluctantly put our elderly father into Foothill’s Azheimer’s care program 3 years ago. While the experience could have been really traumatic, Foothills made the transition easy and our dad is really happy over there. We so appreciate their great staff and services. ” – Sue Spalding

Dedicated Staff
“The residents do not live in our facility—we work in their home!”
A healthcare center is only as good as its caregivers. We carefully select nurses and nurse aides for their skill and experience, as well as for their caring and empathetic nature. Because of our high rate of employee satisfaction, we have numerous staff who have worked at Foothill Acres for many years—and we are proud of this longevity. This is especially significant in long-term care, where relationships between caregivers and residents are of utmost importance.
Under the guidance of our medical director, Foothill Acres’ team of professionals, licensed rehab therapists, skilled nurses and certified nursing assistants strive to provide the highest level of care while promoting the dignity and happiness of each resident. Dedicated caregivers interact with residents on a personal level, creating a warm, family-like environment.
We are empathetic to the needs of family members throughout this difficult process, and work closely with family and caregivers to develop personalized, comprehensive care plans. We view ourselves as extensions of each resident’s family, learning everyone’s names and catering personally to needs and concerns.
We begin the admission process with a family meeting, constantly encouraging the family at every stage of care. Our admissions department helps guide families through financial, insurance and Medicaid matters; our nursing department educates families on the medical process; our rehab therapists help each person reach his/her highest level of functioning; our recreation staff provides ongoing activities and social events; and our social work staff guides families through obstacles and transitions. Regular follow-up meetings include detailed progress reports, as well.
In the case of an individual in our subacute rehabilitation program, discharges are determined by a team of our medical experts, social workers, residents and families. It is important to ensure that the rehabilitative process is complete, that home care services are in place, and that timing is right for a return to the community.
