Windsong Care is not, however, a behavioral health facility and is not licensed to accept residents with severe behavioral issues.

Medication Management and Administration is one of the top priorities at Windsong Care. The facility manager and ONLY the facility manager is in charge of setting up the medi-set organizers on a weekly basis to ensure residents are receiving the correct dosage and amount of medication that their doctor has ordered.

 

Caregivers are then responsible for passing out the residents’ medications at the designated times. Staff ensure the correct medication is in the pill cup and observe that each resident take their medication. All medications on the premises are secured and locked in a designated area. After the residents take their medications, caregivers document and sign off on each medication given in the residents’ individual Medication Administration Record (MAR) as required by the State of Arizona Department of Health Services.

 

Windsong Care works with Valley Discount Pharmacy located just a mile away from the facility on the corner of Southern Ave. and Stapley Rd. Valley Discount Pharmacy is an independently-owned pharmacy that provides free delivery service for all medications, as well as, yearly flu and pneumonia vaccinations in-home for the residents. Residents and family members will never again have to worry about ordering or picking up a refill, as, the manager of Windsong Care and the pharmacist at Valley Discount, ensure the ordering and delivery process is smooth and hassle-free. Valley Discount Pharmacy also works closely with the residents’ doctors and has a direct payment process so the family member or POA in charge of finances deals directly with the pharmacy and there is no middle man. Monthly or end-of-year expense reports can also be provided by Valley Discount which are useful and convenient for tax purposes.

When the time comes in a resident’s life when hospice care is appropriate, Windsong Care provides in-facility hospice services and works closely with families and hospice staff to ensure the residents’ comfort during this stage of the life journey. Throughout the years, we at Windsong Care have had the opportunity to work with many different hospices in the East Valley. As with everything else, we are happy to assist the family in choosing the hospice that is right for their loved one.

 

Many families have questions regarding hospice care and when it is the right time for their loved one to begin services. There are many factors to take into consideration, but, in general, residents go on hospice when they are nearing the end of their life. This can present as a physical decline, recurring infections that can no longer be treated with antibiotics, significant weight loss, reduction in eating and intake of fluids, an increase in emergency room visits and/or hospitalizations, or when the decision has been made to focus on comfort/symptom management as opposed to aggressive curative treatments.

 

All hospices provide a variety of services to assist the staff at Windsong in caring for the resident. This includes 24/7 support, weekly visits from a registered nurse, medications, equipment and supplies provided to the resident under their hospice benefit, assistance from hospice aides, and visits from volunteers and spiritual counselors. Regardless of which hospice is chosen, the main goal of any hospice should always align with Windsong Care’s pledge to preserve the quality of life and dignity of the resident.
