Sage Management, an Alabama based company with over 20 years of excellence in senior care, announced today that McClellan Senior Living, located on former Fort McClellan, obtained a Deficiency Free Annual Survey from the Alabama Department of Public Health (ADPH).

Building on history, McClellan Senior Living opened in what was formally Noncommissioned Officers’ Barracks. The community was designed to provide seniors with the attention they need and the care they deserve. Living with McClellan Senior Living does not mean checking your lifestyle or personality at the door. Residents continue to live life to its fullest potential; enjoying their favorite activities while often discovering new ones.

Each member of the McClellan Senior Living team has consistently demonstrated their commitment to enriching the lives of seniors by valuing residents’ preferences and traditions. As part of this mission, Sage is committed to providing superior resident-centered care. “Receiving a Deficiency Free Survey confirms that McClellan Senior Living is doing an exceptional job and providing residents the services and care necessary to thrive,” reports Sage’s Vice President of Operations, Nick Wilmott. Kelly Lee, McClellan Senior Living Executive Director, adds “we are very proud of this outstanding achievement. We put our residents and their care first and this perfect survey confirms that our team is doing a great job.” ADPH is responsible for ensuring assisted living communities comply with mandatory state regulations.

The inspections, called surveys, are conducted on a no-notice basis and consist of a checklist of areas and categories to examine. The categories include policies and procedures, resident care, medication administration, medical records, kitchen sanitation, staff competencies, dietary needs, equipment, and the overall safety, fitness, and adequacy of the community. Sage Management encourages prospective families who tour McClellan Senior Living, or other communities, to request a copy of state surveys and compare results. When a family needs care for their loved one, the survey is an important tool in understanding how residences are rated and which communities are performing at the highest level. Ultimately, the survey’s purpose is to evaluate the quality of life and care received by the residents. Its goal is to ensure the residence is operating according to the ADPH’s highest standards.
