Gardens of Pelham is an assisted-living community that centers its services on day-to-day health management. Licensed nurses oversee care for residents who require wound treatment, oxygen therapy, or physician-ordered special diets. Diabetic management is available for individuals on oral medications, insulin injections, or sliding-scale protocols, and visiting podiatrists provide on-site foot care. While the community does not specialize in memory care, it is equipped to support residents who need consistent monitoring of chronic medical conditions.
Clinical oversight is continuous, with an RN or LPN on staff and a nurse on-site 24 hours a day. Team members undergo background checks, and an awake night shift ensures prompt response to pull-cord alerts. The property uses door alarms, fenced outdoor areas, and WanderGuard systems to help maintain security. Staff can offer some physical assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. Mobility support ranges from standby supervision to one-person transfers for residents who use walkers or wheelchairs.
Apartments are designed to feel residential. Depending on the unit selected, residents may have a private bathroom, a kitchenette for light meal preparation, independent temperature controls, cable access, and permission to paint or decorate the space to personal taste. Not every apartment includes every feature, so it is useful to confirm specifics when touring.
Meals follow a set menu that changes regularly, and snacks are available between scheduled dining times. The kitchen staff manages physician-ordered diets, including carbohydrate-controlled plans for diabetics and other modifications such as low-sodium or texture-adjusted meals when prescribed.
The community provides resident parking, outdoor smoking areas, and wheelchair-accessible common spaces. A barber and beauty shop, exercise room, internet access, and landscaped communal gardens are located on-site, and religious services are available without leaving the property. Transportation can be arranged for medical appointments or local errands. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
