Thousands
of senior citizens move to Florida each year to enjoy those golden years - those retirement years basking in the warmth of the Sunshine State. Father Time, however, has a way of interrupting those leisure years.
“When an elderly person becomes unable to care for themselves, it’s difficult for them to come to this realization and receive assistance.” Claire Bojanoski, a registered nurse and administrator at The Elysium of Boca Raton. “Many times, this situation will go undetected until something happens, such as mismanagement of medicines or malnutrition .”
Today, she noted, a solution is at hand as the word is spreading about the private assisted-living facility, The Elysium of Boca Raton, Inc.
“The Elysium of Boca Raton has been recognized as an excellent, compassionate and highly respected assisted-living facility,” Bojanoski said. “We want residents to be as independent as possible in a safe environment with nurses and aides to help when needed.”
Conveniently located on eight and a half scenic acres, The Elysium provides residents with a variety of recreational opportunity. There’s a full time activity staff who keep the residents occupied with bingo, current events, outside walks, swimming, and daily exercise. Weekly religious services are also provided to the residents.
“Our meals are Kosher, prepared by a gourmet chef and served in an elegant dining room,” Bojanoski noted. “The menu selections are appetizing and we would like to encourage visitors to sample the delightful menu whenever they tour the facility.”She pointed out that they also have an Extended Care license, which means The Elysium has the highest level of care under Assisted Living. Residents needing more care can be admitted with the assurance of receiving excellent care since nurses are on duty around the clock. “This could mean a saving of up to 50 percent for anyone eligible to be admitted at The Elysium rather than a skilled facility,” Bojanoski said.
This newest addition to The Elysium is their Medical Director Steven Morris, a Humana/Medicare Doctor. Throughout the month Dr. Steven Morris visits his patients at the Elysium and is involved with maintaining good quality care for residents. “If you are in doubt as to the type of care your loved one may require, The Elysium will arrange a free evaluation interview in order to determine just what type of care is needed.
The Elysium also has a special care unit that offers care for residents with Dementia. “These residents are also taken out for walks and participate in various activities, “ Bojanoski noted. “It’s wonderful to see these patients radiate the feeling of serenity.” What makes this unit so special is that they have a personal staff, including nurses aides and activities that can concentrate on each resident.
Bojanoski noted that their physical facilities are exceptional, offering luxurious and spacious accommodations in a country club environment. Semi-private rooms are large enough to hold two full-size beds, and their oversized private rooms and private suites are also deluxe and beautifully decorated.
Rates at The Elysium are determined by the degree of nursing attention a resident
needs. The monthly rates include three meals daily, over 50 hours a week
of activities, housekeeping and laundry service, administration of medicines,
assistance with daily living, mail service and 24-hour medical alert system
for emergencies.“We encourage residents to get out of their rooms and attend activities,” Bojanoski said. “It’s really great to see them blossom a little and take a social interest in other people living here. Residents in this type of environment do so much better than living alone."
The Elysium is a home away from home and true to the meaning of its name,” Bojanoski explained. “According to Greek mythology, elysium means “Heaven on Earth.” The Elysium is located in beautiful Boca Raton, Florida which is between Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale.
