GreenFields of Geneva Celebrates Community, Excellence in Care

GreenFields of Geneva, a Lifespace Community located in Geneva, Illinois, has been recognized as the Best of the Fox Premier Senior Living Community, along with accolades for Best Assisted Living, Best Skilled Nursing, and One of the Best Memory Care Facilities. This recognition highlights the commitment of the staff to provide not just care, but also meaningful experiences that foster a strong sense of community among residents.

Administrator Jenna Thieding, who recently joined GreenFields after working at another Lifespace Community in Florida, emphasizes the importance of understanding, patience, and respect in their approach to senior care. “Our staff, the teams, are there for residents through all the emotional highs and lows,” Thieding stated. She has made it a priority to connect with both residents and staff, often stepping away from her desk to engage in conversations.

Thieding’s background significantly influences her dedication to the field. With a mother who was a nurse in a skilled nursing facility, she grew up around the older generation, which shaped her desire to work in healthcare. “It’s very rewarding to see the impact I can have with residents,” she said, reflecting on her role in enhancing the lives of those in her care.

Comprehensive Care Options

GreenFields of Geneva offers a range of services including independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and rehabilitation services. This multi-level care approach enables residents to age in place with the necessary support readily available. “We have everything here with physicians and resources available in-house,” Thieding noted.

The community provides specialized memory care for individuals facing challenges like Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. Tailored care plans incorporate speech, cognitive, and physical therapies, along with creative activities in music and art to enrich the lives of residents. Private memory care apartments are equipped with advanced safety features, ensuring a secure and nurturing environment.

Team members play an essential role in daily activities and medication management, creating an attentive presence that residents appreciate. Opportunities for health, wellness, and the arts are abundant throughout the community, fostering connections among residents. With multiple dining options, residents can choose to gather over a meal or enjoy a quick bite at the Bistro.

Community Engagement and Upcoming Events

Strong interest in GreenFields of Geneva is evident, with occupancy nearing 100%. This success is celebrated in part by upcoming community events. One such event, Green Fest, is scheduled for August 26, 2024, from 18:30 to 20:00. This event invites neighbors and the broader community to enjoy a summer evening together, featuring entertainment and food. Thieding expressed enthusiasm for making this gathering an annual tradition, helping to strengthen community ties.

In summary, GreenFields of Geneva exemplifies excellence in senior living, with a dedicated team that prioritizes the well-being and connections of its residents. Through its comprehensive care options and community-oriented events, the facility continues to foster an environment where residents can thrive both individually and as part of a supportive community.
