Charles Residential Care is a licensed residential care home that focuses on delivering comprehensive medical oversight for residents who need more than basic assistance. The community is equipped to manage wandering behaviors at any hour, elopement risk, combative episodes, behavioral concerns, and residents who stay up all night. Nursing staff monitor wound care, oxygen therapy, special diets, and all forms of diabetes management, including oral medications, injections, and sliding‐scale protocols. Individuals with advanced dementia, psychiatric conditions, and adults under 60 who require this higher level of support are accepted, ensuring continuity of care without the need to relocate as conditions progress.
A 24-hour nurse is on call, and awake night staff remain on site alongside additional personnel who cover asleep shifts. Security features include fenced outdoor areas, alarmed doors, and personal emergency response systems that alert staff immediately. Background checks are completed on all employees. Daily living support can be provided at the full‐assistance level for bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Mobility aid ranges from simple standby supervision to one- or two-person transfers, full Hoyer lift transfers, and bed-bound care, accommodating both walker and wheelchair users.
Residents can choose from private or semi-private rooms that may include a private bathroom, independent temperature controls, furnished setups, basic cable, and the option to paint or decorate. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry are provided. Because room layouts vary, not every accommodation offers every feature, so prospective residents should confirm specific room details during a tour.
Meals follow a set menu with flexibility for on-order selections when needed. Snacks are always available, and meals can be served in the dining room or in residents’ rooms. The kitchen supports doctor-ordered diet modifications such as gluten-free, vegetarian, mechanical chop, puree, and thickened liquid plans, as well as customized carbohydrate control for diabetics.
Amenities include resident parking, outdoor smoking areas, wheelchair-accessible common spaces, internet access, and a communal garden. On-site religious gatherings are scheduled regularly, and the community arranges transportation for medical appointments and personal errands.
