AMFM Services

Each patient is unique in their health care needs, and each patient's care plan is based on a complete assessment that addresses the needs and goals of every patient.

AMFM care centers have a staff of Registered Nurses, Licensed Practical Nurses and Certified Nursing Assistants to meet the medical and personal needs of the patients.

Being close to family is important and AMFM understands those bonds of family and friends; we encourage those bonds to remain strong. Each center offers dozens of communities a close to home, convenient location for their families' long-term care needs.

Along with medical services provided by a licensed physician, 24-hour nursing care and supervision services staffed by registered nurses, licensed practical nurses and certified nursing assistants, our facilities also provide:

• Activities: Patients enjoy a quality of life full of activities that stimulate and foster participation, socialization and The Certified Activity Professional arranges a variety of individual and group activities for patients both inside the facility, and trips out into the community.
• Beauty & Barbershop Services: Look your best with our on-site beauty and barbershop services. There is a full range of services including haircuts, perms, hair coloring, shaves and other related services.
• Community Based Volunteer Programs: As a cornerstone of every community in which an AMFM care center resides, a community based volunteer program is crucial to the high quality for our patients.
  
  Both young and old, individuals and groups, are encouraged to volunteer time and services at our care communities. These volunteers and volunteer groups bring aspects of the community into the center and enable the patients to enjoy qualities of life not under the expertise of the staff.

Dining and meals are an important part of each patient's day for socializing and nutritional needs. The Certified Dietary Manager supervises the menu to ensure each patient is meeting the dietary needs outlined in the patient's initial assessment and plan, coordinate and ensure all meals meet the dietary standards and requirements of every resident.

In addition to meals, our dining halls provide the opportunity for socializing and entertainment. Many of our Dining Halls have large screen televisions playing favorite, classic movies, while others may have a piano for live music. Each center infuses its own personality into each Dining Hall to make a truly unique experience for patients, family and employees.

Each Environmental Department excels at maintaining the appearance and functioning of each AMFM care center. In addition to keeping the care center campus beautiful for the enjoyment of the patients and their families, the Environmental Department provides laundry and maintenance services.

Each AMFM care center is built upon strong community bonds and Family and Resident Councils offer the opportunity to strengthen those bonds within the AMFM care center.
