Prestige Assisted Living at Lancaster

individual suffering from a heart attack or stroke, performing a surgical procedure to improve quality-of-life, or treating a patient recovering from COVID-19, Palmdale Regional delivers trusted, quality patient care — every hour, every day.

We’ve successfully repurposed our space to allow for strict isolation while maintaining an outstanding patient experience. Signs and teams are positioned to ensure those who may have COVID-19 symptoms are quickly isolated and taken to treatment rooms.

Any person allowed to enter the hospital at this time is being screened and temperature checked. We’re even screening our own team members that includes employees, physicians and contract workers. We ask staff the same questions we do our patients, and take their temperatures every single day.

Every day, our team is committed to the safety and well-being of you and your loved ones. Palmdale Regional continues to follow evidence-based guidelines for everything from medical decision-making to cleanliness practices.

It may look like business as usual in our emergency department, but we’ve implemented new safety measures. For example, we have a process in place to quickly identify, properly place and treat patients who have COVID symptoms. Every patient entering the hospital through the Emergency Department is screened for COVID-19 right away.

Throughout the entire hospital, Palmdale Regional is thoroughly committed to The Joint Commission’s high standards for cleaning and disinfection. Using an advanced system called the Surfacide® Helios® System, we’re using bacteria and virus-killing UV light in patient and operating rooms. We’ve also added HEPA filters to provide another layer of protection for you and your loved ones.

Palmdale Regional has a dedicated unit for those patients requiring admission who test positive for COVID. With these safety measures in place, our hospital is returning to normal operations.

There are separate operating rooms for COVID and non-COVID patients. Equipment has been dedicated for the care and treatment of non-COVID patients electing to have surgical procedures.

When you or your loved ones need our services, know that Palmdale Regional is here. We consider it a privilege to serve you and appreciate the opportunity.

Palmdale Regional is a place of hope, a place of health, a place of healing. We are safe, trusted and ready to care for you and to deliver a superior healthcare experience.

There’s no question moving is tough. And making the move from your home to an assisted living community can be a stressful experience for family members and seniors alike. But community-based living offers a multitude of benefits that celebrate independence and can even improve your quality of life. Here are just a few:

Socializing with peers

Almost 10 million Americans older than age 65 live alone, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Living alone can lead to loneliness and depression, which can harm a person’s overall health at any age. Community-based living helps seniors stay active with people who share your interests, and those who surround themselves with others and participate in group activities are at a lower risk for illness. In fact, studies find that social interactions affect everything our body does to repair itself – from how quickly wounds heal to how well we sleep.

Eating nutritiously, without lifting a finger

Eating well may seem like a given, but many times we forget how important it can be. Assisted living communities offer the perk of nutritious, restaurant-quality meals in relaxing dining areas or in the privacy of your own apartment. Many communities have a certified nutritionist on staff that can help customize meals to meet health and dietary needs, as well. Need another bonus? You don’t even have to lift a finger for delicious meals!

Stimulating mind and body

The benefits of exercise can’t be over-emphasized – steady light exercise can improve overall health and happiness. Many communities offer group fitness sessions that provide just the right amount of activity for assisted living residents who are free to move at their own pace. Beyond physical fitness, mental stimulation is just as important for longevity and preventing memory loss or even dementia. Communities that facilitate fun games and activities that challenge the mind offer a valuable benefit to their residents.

Getting out and about

Getting a change of environment is one of the best things for anyone to stay happy, and the benefit of outings for seniors is even more important when mobility is a challenge. Taking day trips, shopping, and walking offer the keys to health and happiness and can be even more enjoyable with a group.
