The Skylark Experience
At Skylark Senior Care, our seniors meet new friends, engage in exciting activities and participate in the community. Our dedicated nurses promote wellness and health, and our certified caregivers provide respite and support.
Who We Serve
We care for amazing individuals. They have been teachers, business people, firemen, Veterans, mothers and daughters, fathers and sons. They are loved. In their lifetime, our seniors have experienced some of the most influential events that shape our world today. Their stories inspire us.
Therefore, our individualized care plans aim to inspire freedom, hope, and joy in the lives of those we care for.
Personalized Care Plans
At Skylark Senior Care, we support the whole person. When you call, we want to know what inspires, what brings joy, and what creates freedom-in addition to challenges. We work with each family and their loved one to create a personalized care program that focuses on treatment and activities in the center and at home.
Our families find caregiving success by using either the Adult Day Center or Home Care, or a combination of both. Letting us help carefully manage caregiving resources, helps us create a plan of care that is often more affordable and personalized than a high-quality assisted living facility.
Dedicated Care Professionals
Our experienced and dedicated staff is rigorously trained and certified for specific physical challenges, caring behavior management techniques, and intensive personal care assistance. Our caregivers embody the Skylark Promise and serve with respect, honesty, and a positive attitude.
In each center, and available in your home, are registered and licensed nurses to provide educational programs, manage day-to-day health needs, and attend to emergencies; social workers to provide family support and assist with plans of care; activities professionals to conduct personalized activity programs; nursing assistants to assist with personal care and dietary consultants to assist with meal plans and special diets.
Transportation to and from our centers is available, as well as beauty and bathing services, and physical, occupational, and speech therapies.
Mission & Values
Inspiring Freedom, Hope, and Joy in our Elders and Those Who Love Them
Since 2006, we have been refining what we do and how we do it. Over time, as we’ve worked with hundreds of families, associates, and Members, we have developed a compelling culture.
Our expectation is that when becoming a part of the Skylark family, these values will infuse our relationship.
When we first started, we had a list of values, some even the same as today. What we found out is that we assumed everybody automatically held to our same standards and that they were self-evident.
Through our interactions with real families and real employees, we found ourselves emphasizing certain elements. At times, we are very successful, and it’s easy to provide hope when a loved one responds well to the new environment and experiences. At other times, situations may require difficult conversations and living up to our standards is challenging.
We have found that our Mission and Values differentiate us from other adult day and home care providers and that they help us provide better service, experiences, and outcomes.
Our Values:
Uncompromising Integrity
Personalized Member Care
Excellence in Service
Our Philosophy
THE SKYLARK PROMISE
Consider the Skylark. It is renowned for its beautiful song and its unique flight. In literature it has often represented freedom, inspiration, hope and joy.
Our Seniors, like Skylarks in their song and flight, are unique and amazing individuals. They have been teachers, business leaders, firemen, Veterans, mothers and daughters, fathers and sons. They are loved. In their lifetimes, our seniors have experienced and shaped some of the most influential events we have known. Their stories inspire us.
We know aging affects each person’s body, heart, mind and soul differently. Through our conversations, we’ll listen to you and your loved one’s stories, hopes, and challenges, and together, we’ll partner to create a care program personalized to your unique situation.
Our Promise to You: Deliver creative senior care solutions that inspire freedom, hope and joy for you and your loved one.
