Shirley Beloved operates as a residential care home and is equipped to manage a wide range of medical needs. Residents who wander—whether they do so during the day, at night, or have a history of elopement—are monitored and supported. The team is trained to respond to combative or other challenging behaviors, including advanced dementia and psychiatric conditions. Full-time oversight covers wound care, oxygen therapy, special diets, and diabetes management, whether a resident requires oral medications, injections, or sliding-scale insulin. Individuals who stay up all night or are under age 60 can also be accommodated without disrupting overall care routines.
Clinical backup and safety measures are in place around the clock. A nurse is on call 24 hours a day, staff members are awake on the night shift, and background checks are completed for all employees. Doors are alarmed, the rear area is fenced, and personal emergency response systems alert staff if help is needed. On-site podiatry services reduce the need for outside appointments. Residents who need help with personal care receive full assistance for bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Transfer options cover the full continuum, from standby supervision to two-person or Hoyer lift transfers, including care for those who are bed-bound.
Private and semi-private rooms are available, and not all accommodations have every feature. Some rooms come with private bathrooms, independent temperature controls, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are included, so residents and families do not need to arrange for outside help.
Dining offers both set menus and on-order options, with snacks available throughout the day and in-room meal service when required. The kitchen team manages diet modifications such as gluten-free, vegetarian, mechanical-chop, puree, and thickened-liquid plans to meet physician orders and personal preferences.
Residents have access to parking, wheelchair-accessible indoor and outdoor areas, communal gardens, internet service, and scheduled transportation for errands or medical appointments. Smoking is permitted outside in designated areas, and on-site religious services are offered for those who wish to participate.
