We would just like � � <br /> to take a moment to express our appreciation to the Orono City staff for assisting us in our information <br /> gathering efforts and to the City Council for your willingness to consider our proposal. We at Comforts <br /> of Home feel that our concept plan can add not only value to the city, but amenities to the surrounding <br /> community as welL � <br /> Comforts of Home is an assisted living and memory care community designed to assist those with mild <br /> to high levels of personal cares in a warm, home-like environment. Our suites offer private bathrooms, . ' <br /> and a tea kitchen that includes a sink, refigerator, and microwave. Our community provides a cozy <br /> and secure setting that ensures independence, dignity and safety. � <br /> Comforts of Home is focusing on needs-not being met by other assisted living and memory care <br /> communities. We offer a higher level of care and service to our residents allowing us to reach out to <br /> . those in nursing homes that are not in need of 24 hour skilled care. We are filling a gap in the <br /> continuum of care by serving the needs to those caught between traditional assisted living and those in <br /> nursing homes requiring more extensive care. Many traditional assisted living communities will not <br /> admit residents that need acute levels of care. <br /> � Residents at Comforts of Home can enjoy their private suites and retain their independence, while also <br /> enjoying the peace of mind that comes with 24-hour assistance. Comforts of Home is a proponent of <br /> aging in place. As a resident's frailty level increases, we work with family members to provide or <br /> coordinate the necessary health care resources. Our philosophy, staff training, and the use of <br /> community resources are geared to allow residents to remain in our home-like setting. <br /> At Comforts of Home, we think you should only pay for the services and care you need. Our rates are - <br /> competitive and much lower than a nursing home rate. It is important to us at Comforts of Home to <br /> � meet the needs of seniors and people under the age of 65 who are on the Elderly Waiver or CADI <br /> program. Therefore, we work closely with the county on these programs. Our rates are mostly <br /> inclusive and include your personal cares, 24 hour on site home care staff, Registered Nurse and LPN <br /> support, caregiver respond system, all meals, housekeeping, linen/laundry, monthly suite rent, all <br /> utilities and cable. We also have our own staff of physicians working with us at all of the comrnunities. - <br /> Our philosophy is to provide quality care to each resident at a competitive price with a personal touch. <br /> Our buildings are small and intimate which creates a cozy, comforting feeling. We value the <br /> � relationships we build with our employees and the communities by creating stable, rewarding and good <br /> paying jobs,which in Orono,we expect to be at least 30 professional employment opportunities. <br />
