OASIS SENIOR LIVING – HOUSE RULES POLICY
Purpose:
The following House Rules are established to maintain a safe, respectful, and harmonious living environment for all residents, staff, and visitors of Oasis Senior Living (the “Facility”). These rules apply to all individuals on the premises and are enforced in accordance with Facility policy and applicable state regulations.
- Smoking Prohibition
Smoking is strictly prohibited anywhere inside the Facility premises. Designated outdoor smoking areas, if any, shall be identified by Facility administration.
- Secured Entry Hours
For the safety and security of all residents, exterior doors to the Facility will be secured nightly at approximately 8:00 PM and reopened at 8:00 AM. Visitors requiring access during these hours must make prior arrangements with the Administrator or designated staff.
- Personal Valuables and Cash
Residents are advised to retain no more than fifty dollars ($50.00) in personal cash on their person or in their room. The Facility shall bear no responsibility or liability for any loss, theft, or damage to money, jewelry, or other personal valuables.
- Food and Kitchen Access
Residents may have food and non-alcoholic beverages in their personal rooms. Use of the Facility’s cooking or kitchen facilities by residents or visitors is permitted only upon prior approval by Facility staff.
- Visitor Conduct in Resident Areas
Family members and other visitors are prohibited from entering another resident’s private room unless expressly invited by that resident. This rule is in place to protect resident privacy and dignity.
- Supervision of Minors
All visiting children must remain under the direct supervision of a responsible adult at all times while on Facility premises. Unsupervised children will not be permitted.
- Financial Designation
Each resident or their legal representative must designate a responsible individual to manage or address all financial matters. The Facility will only conduct financial communications or transactions with the designated representative.
- Medication Management Assistance
While residents and/or their legal guardians retain primary responsibility for medication oversight, the Administrator may offer assistance in coordinating pharmacy services when requested or necessary.
- Infection Control and Visitor Health
To prevent the spread of communicable diseases, visitors exhibiting symptoms of illness—including but not limited to colds, influenza, or other contagious conditions—are requested to delay visitation until symptoms have resolved. In cases where visitation is necessary, the Administrator may require the use of personal protective equipment, including surgical masks, to safeguard resident health.
- Use of Common Areas
Residents may freely access and utilize common areas of the Facility, including shared entertainment amenities such as televisions, audio systems, and other electronic devices. Disputes or disagreements regarding programming shall be mediated and resolved by Facility staff.
- In-Room Electronics and Noise Control
Residents may use personal electronic devices in their rooms. However, sound levels must remain at a reasonable volume to ensure the comfort and rights of neighboring residents. Staff may intervene to mitigate disturbances.
- Alcohol Consumption
Residents and their guests may consume alcoholic beverages in moderation, provided no health restrictions exist. Facility staff are strictly prohibited from consuming alcohol while on duty or on the premises.
- Resident Attire
Residents are encouraged to wear their own personal clothing. When outside their private rooms, residents are expected to dress in a modest and respectful manner.
- Pets and Animals
Pets may be permitted on the premises only with prior written approval from the Facility Owner or Administrator and in accordance with the Facility’s pet policy. All approved animals must be properly cared for and not present a nuisance or health risk.
- Privacy and Bathroom Locks
Residents may request privacy locks for their bathrooms. All residents enrolled in the New Choices Waiver program shall be provided locking bathroom doors as a matter of policy and safety.
Enforcement:
Violation of these rules may result in appropriate administrative action, up to and including restrictions on privileges or, in severe or repeated cases, modification of the resident’s service plan.
