"REAL CHOICES" IS A VITAL PART OF THE CARETEL DIFFERENCE

The “Real Choices” option is a part of what Caretel Inns offers its guests.  Choices cannot be offered when a choice doesn’t exist. Henry Ford was famous for saying about his model T that “people can choose any color they want as long as it’s black.” Unfortunately, that has often become the standard in the Elder Care industry.  Options are limited in the name of efficiency.  Caretel seeks to do better. Options must be built into a building to be available; they can’t be tagged on.

Just like cars, you must paint them different colors if you are to provide people with “real choices”.  That difference is what sets Caretel Inns apart.  Options are built into our buildings and programs to provide our guests with Real Choices.  It is part of the Caretel difference.

1.Five separate Inns offer three care options.  These choices available to Caretel’s guests are not available elsewhere.  The availability of these choices is important because care needs often change.  An episode of illness can mean a person has to pack their bags and move to another facility.  At Caretel, you can merely transfer temporarily to another Inn and return after your recovery.

a)Arlington, Bristol and Eaton House Inn are for guests desiring Assisted Living.  All rooms include a kitchenette, private bathroom, and cable tv.  All rooms are fully furnished or you may bring your own furniture.
b)Coventry House Inn is a Medicare certified, rehabilitation focused, licensed Skilled Nursing center. A built-in wall unit includes a TV, writing desk, shelving and drawers.  Each room includes a private toilet and walk-in shower.  All rooms are furnished or bring your own.
c)Dover House Inn is designed for and has a specially-trained staff for, Memory Care.  Each room is decorated and furnished.  Every room has a private toilet and shower.

2.Guests may choose the temperature of their own room.  Each guest’s room has individual heating and cooling units, allowing for total control on the part of the guest.  This is important because temperature preferences vary widely.

3.At Caretel you have dining options:

a)Restaurant-style dining in one of four different dining rooms

b)Room service (no additional cost).

c)Private dining rooms for parties or dining with family.

4.Call System with two-way voice communication.  The staff also wears pagers so that they can always be reached. Caretel uses technology to serve its guests well.

5.Choose from several different room styles; private studios, suites, or two bedrooms. Rooms will have different colors and wall coverings, so that choices are considerable.  In fact, no two rooms are the same.  The choice is yours.

6.Views. There are open views or courtyard views, sunrise views or sunset views.  Extra large windows offer a beautiful landscaped view.  The choice is yours.

7.Family Visits. The Inns of Caretel have been designed for the convenience of the family as well as the guest. Caretel has no set visiting hours. You are welcome to visit at the same time you would visit your relative if they were at home. You'll be given a family key. This will give you direct access to the Inn your relative lives in without  coming through the main entrance. The time of your visits are another Caretel choice. Welcome to Caretel.
