AMAS Incorporated Housing with Services Program:
Amas Incorporated provides housing with services for seniors/elderly facing long term care. The home offers 24-hour care for those who can no longer live independently. We begin services by reviewing your needs through discussions with involved significant people. When necessary, we consult with the physician(s) of the care recipient, social services, hospitals, or other nursing homes or long-term care facility.

We believe that people can Function, Grow, and Develop, when provided with the Necessary resources to live stable positive lives. These homes are designed for people over age fifty-five and for adults facing risk of long-term frequent hospital admission or continued medical services involvement.

Amas Incorporated meets the appropriate licensing requirements for all home and community based services, home care and foster care rules. All licenses are current and in good standing. Our homes are designed to increase community-based support to elderly/seniors with developmental disabilities and other challenging conditions. We also provide home care to older adults to continue living in their homes and long-term care facilities. We recognize that the need for long-term care is based on the limitations of a person's ability to manage certain functions. We will develop an individualized assessment to manage complexities of daily needs. We believe that good care plans are essential to good care. Our care plan are put together by a team of providers, family members and significant others and updated as often as necessary.

It is our goal at AMAS to provide high quality care and services to those who reside in our facility. Our home setting recognizes an individual's needs for some control over the events in daily life and makes every effort to involve individuals in basic decisions whenever possible.

Each individual has the opportunity to participate in the service delivery process to ensure staff responds to needs in a family-like environment. This helps us in promoting the evaluation of these services through client supervision, re-assessment and the regular communication between the persons receiving services, families, physician and significant others.

We celebrate every individual's unique attributes, treating each person with respect and affording them with quality of life filled with dignity. At AMAS, we value the importance of the individual's culture, and will work appropriately within this context regardless of its differences from the mainstream.
