Litchfield Terrance Assisted Living Home operates as a Residential Care Home, admitting adults with a wide range of medical and behavioral needs. The team is prepared to oversee residents who wander at any time of day, present elopement risk, demonstrate combative or other challenging behaviors, or remain awake throughout the night. Clinical protocols are in place for wound care, oxygen therapy, special diets, diabetes management—whether oral medications, injections, or sliding-scale insulin—and care for residents under 60 years old. The community also has the skills and safeguards necessary to support advanced dementia.
A nurse is on call 24 hours a day, supported by staff members who undergo background checks and work both awake and asleep overnight shifts. Doors are alarmed, the rear grounds are fenced, and a PERS system alerts staff to emergencies; there is always personnel on site. The home accepts residents with psychiatric diagnoses and can provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Transfer help ranges from standby cues and walker or wheelchair support to two-person or Hoyer lifts for bed-bound individuals.
Private rooms are available, some with en-suite bathrooms, basic furnishings, cable access, and the option for residents to paint or decorate. Housekeeping is provided for all units, though features vary and not every room includes every amenity. Independent Living residents can receive medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, and laundry services while maintaining a more autonomous lifestyle.
Meals are prepared fresh, with both set menus and on-order selections. Dietary modifications include gluten-free, vegetarian, mechanical-chop, puréed, and thickened-liquid options, and snacks are offered between meals. Room service is available when a resident’s condition or preference calls for in-room dining, and staff manage specialized diet plans as ordered by physicians.
Residents have access to on-site parking, outdoor smoking areas, wheelchair-accessible common spaces, internet connectivity, and communal gardens. Religious services are held within the community for those who wish to attend.
