Services
Providing support and care wholeheartedly
Physical Activities
We offer exercises appropriate for seniors, as well as meditation and physical games designed to promote coordination, balance, and mobility.
Social Activities
We hold group activities throughout the day and provide a comfortable environment where our members can make new friends and spend free time together.
Classes
Our year-round classes include subjects like arts, crafts, music, and computer use. We also offer short-term classes tailored to the interests of our members.
Transportation
We provide door-to-door private transportation for all of our members who request it. We assist those who rely on wheelchairs, walkers, and other mobility aids and give our members a safe and comfortable ride to their Rockgate center
Day Trips
Our members enjoy going on a day trip together at least once a month. Our trips range from picnics and bowling to horseback riding and museum visits.
Special Events
We host holiday parties and hold events that are open to the community. Our members enjoy celebrating birthdays and other special occasions together, too.
Personal Care
Rockgate staff ensures that the personal care needs of each participant are met on a daily basis or as prescribed on the individualized service plan. Rockgate’s life enrichment specialists provide assistance with toiling, mobility, transfers, eating, dressing, bathing, grooming, and medication reminders.
Barber and Beauty Salon
Getting a new haircut—or even just a little touch-up or trim—helps our members look and feel good and gives them a chance to relax and indulge in a little salon-style pampering. Our hairstylists visit us each month to offer all of our members their time at our in-house “salon.”
Entertainment
We invite special guests like musicians, magicians, and guest speakers to join us each month and often take a break from other activities to catch a movie and popcorn. Our members enjoy providing a little entertainment for each other too—each Rockgate center is equipped with a karaoke machine.
Nutrition
Sharing meals together is one of the simple pleasures we enjoy at Rockgate. Each day begins with a continental breakfast, and members order their own lunches from a large menu of tasty and nutritious dishes prepared by local restaurants and delis. Members with dietary restrictions have plenty of options to choose from, and snacks, coffee, and tea are available throughout the day.
Supervision and Monitoring
Rockgate programs always have sufficient staff on hand to ensure that participants will receive the appropriate supervision and monitoring they need to provide for each participant’s individual needs. Rockgate’s life enrichment specialists provide individualized supervision, ongoing encouragement, direction, verbal or visual cue, and reassurance to each participant as needed. Our life enrichment specialists are trained in understanding the specialized needs of the senior population and are informed of each participant’s unique and individualized medical, social, and emotional needs
