Helping our Residents Stay Connected during COVID-19

March 31, 2020 By Twin Town Villa

At Twin Town Villa in Breckenridge, the safety and health of our residents and staff are always top-of-mind, and now more than ever.  With our ongoing efforts of stopping the spread of the Coronavirus, especially to our residents who are at-risk or elderly, Twin Town Villa is taking extra precautions. We are screening everyone who enters the building by taking their temperature and stats. Many of the same precautions are being taken by assisted living centers, nursing homes, and other long-term care communities across Minnesota and the United States.  But we are also taking extra steps to help our residents stay connected.

Protecting our Residents’ Physical and Mental Health

Helping Elderly Stay Connected COVID19, Assisted LivingWe know that not only is the physical health of our residents important, but also their mental health.  When loved ones visit our residents, it is often the highlight of their week. We are sad to have to enforce social distancing for our residents but know that it is crucial to their health. Other changes we have implemented include serving meals in their room instead of communal dining. However, rest assured, our residents are not isolated in their apartments during COVID-19.

Helping your Loved One Stay Connected

With COVID-19, how we socialize has changed. Here are some tips for helping your elderly loved ones adapt to the changes and still feel connected:

Trying New Technology

We encourage our residents and their families to use technology to connect.  Video chat can be done through Facetime, Skype, Zoom, Facebook or others. Twin Town Villa offers a Computer Center that can be used to connect with your family through video chat, social media, or email. The staff at Twin Town Villa can help coordinate alternative communications to bridge the communication gap. If you need help getting started, ask our staff for help. If you prefer to send an email to your loved one, simply send the message to Mary at twintown@midconetwork.com in care of your loved one’s name, and we’ll deliver the email message to them.

Helping Elderly Stay Connected COVID19, Assisted LivingWindow Visits

We love how our residents and their families are finding new ways to be close.  Visiting face-to-face is still possible despite COVID-19 with “Window Visits”. Our residents and their families have used “Window Visits” to see and talk to each other… with family outside, and our residents inside, both with big smiles!

Giving Care Packages

Everyone loves to get little surprises, especially now. Items from families such as gifts, word of encouragement, homemade food, etc. can be brought and left at our front doors. Our staff will deliver the item to your loved one.

“Together forever and never apart. Maybe in distance but never in heart.”

The staff at Twin Town Villa is doing everything they can to make this challenging time as comfortable as possible for residents and their families. Watch the Twin Town Villa Facebook page for photos and updates from your loved ones.

Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns.  If you are looking for an assisted living community for your loved one, please reach out to Twin Town Villa at (218) 643-9542 for more information.

Types of Senior Living Communities

December 2, 2019 By Twin Town Villa

When a senior citizen is no longer able or willing to live on their own, there are many different types of senior living communities, each with different services and care. Twin Town Villa is proud to offer Assisted Living, Care Suites, and Memory Care communities.

Senior Housing & Senior Living Communities

Independent Living Communities

Senior Living CommunitiesIndependent Living Communities are also commonly referred to as a retirement community. Seniors can rent or buy their retirement homes.  Usually, senior residents in these communities don’t need help with daily living tasks, as most can take care of themselves.  But, conveniences such as meals, house cleaning, laundry service or transportation may be available.  Seniors who are independent, but don’t want to live alone would be a good fit for an Independent Living Community.

Assisted Living Communities

Assisted Living Communities are similar to Independent Living Communities except they also offer personal care services such as bathing, dressing, and taking medications. Elderly adults who are somewhat active but need some assistance with daily tasks may find an assisted living community to be the best fit for them.  At Twin Town Villa’s Assisted Living Community, supportive services are available 24 hours a day. Twin Town Villa Assisted Living offers a special combination of housing, supportive services, personal assistance, and health care designed to respond to the individual needs of those who need help with activities of daily living.

Care Suites

Care Suites Communities are for residents who need a higher level of care than assisted living. Twin Town Villa’s Care Suites are designed to provide 24-hour care with more one-on-one services and health-related services. The comforting home-like environment also includes a private bathroom. Restorative and rehabilitative care is available to help residents regain or maintain independence.

Memory Care Communities

Memory Care Communities provide special assistance for residents with memory loss, including Alzheimer’s Disease or other forms of memory impairments. Close supervision is provided 24 hours a day in a secure, friendly, residential atmosphere. At Twin Town Villa, our Memory Care community features bright, beautiful apartments and an outdoor courtyard to feel like home.

A quick update on our wellness program

July 8, 2019 By Roman Bloemke

A quick recap from last month’s blog, we incorporated a healthy eating bingo to tie in with our PartnerSHIP for Health program we are doing here at Twin Town Villa.

Employees needed to eat certain fruits and vegetables to be able to mark a spot on the bingo card to earn their bingo. For July in honor of National Parks and Recreation month we have put together a calendar for each day in July there is an exercise or outside activity to be done!

Who’s up for the challenge?!

National Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Month!

June 10, 2019 By Community Life Coordinator

In honor of Global Employee Health and Fitness Month in May we challenged all Twin Town Villa employees to drink 64oz of water a day which was tracked on a 30 day challenge calendar as part of the PartnerSHIP 4 Health program we are participating in.

In conjunction with that June is National fresh fruit and vegetable month. Why are eating fruits and vegetables so important? Here’s a few facts, vegetables are rich in vitamin A, vitamin C, folate, fiber and potassium. The USDA recommends consuming 2 cups of fruit per day. Role in disease prevention, eating produce can cut your risk of cardiovascular disease and benefits weight management.

Throughout June we plan to offer plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables not only to our residents here but also in our staff room for employees to enjoy!
