Ellen’s Home of Port Washington

Although we have been taking care of the elderly since 1993, we have two newer homes. One is located in Germantown and the other is to the North of us in Port Washington. Both homes offer large private rooms and baths. Each bathroom is equipped with a roll in shower stall with many features to assisted residents at all levels of care. We have many common areas for our residents to enjoy together but also private sitting and dining areas so our residents can share some private time with their family, friends and guest.

Our Port Washington facility does have suites available. They can accommodate two people or provide a more spacious unit for a single person.

We keep our facilities to a maximum of 20 residents so we do not lose our family style of living. We have a pharmacy service to provide all your medications without the need to make special arrangements to supply them. We have lab and radiology services available to help reduce the number of outside medical appointments our residents have to travel to. Our podiatrist can take care of any foot and nail concerns. We also have a hair salon located in our home to provide services if you would like. Our activity directors will keep their body active and their life full and exciting. Activities include memory building activities to help slow memory loss. We have a therapy team that can assess our residents needs. Any concerns regarding safety, transferring, walking or strengthening and endurance will be identified and addressed. Once therapy is completed and they have met their goals, our staff can follow their maintenance program to ensure they maintain their optimal level of mobility and safety.

Our specially trained staff provide care in a loving, Christian, family style atmosphere. Our standard of care is based on helping our residents attain the highest possible level of spiritual, emotional and physical wellbeing. Our staff to resident ratio is very high. Being a smaller home, we have the same staff members taking care of our residents on a daily basis. This is not only very conducive for our residents but with that continuity of care it is easier to recognize changes in eating, sleeping, behavior or health issues. This is important because minor issues can be addressed before becoming more serious. We believe that quality of life and quality of care go hand in hand.

We are happy to announce that our new Germantown home will open in Spring 2013!
