Summerfield at Jacinto operates as a residential care home and is equipped to manage a wide range of medical needs. The team is prepared for residents who wander during the day or night, exhibit exit-seeking behaviors, or present with combative or other challenging behaviors, including advanced dementia conditions. Clinical protocols cover residents who are up all night, need wound care, rely on oxygen therapy, or must follow special diets. Diabetic care is available for those on oral medications, insulin injections, or sliding-scale regimens. Younger adults under 60 who need similar support can also be accommodated.
Clinical staffing and safety measures reinforce this medical focus. A nurse is on call 24 hours a day, background checks are required for all employees, and the night staff includes both awake and sleep-shift personnel. The property is fenced, doors are alarmed, and a personal emergency response system alerts staff when assistance is needed. Podiatry visits are offered on site, and residents with psychiatric issues are accepted. Full-assistance help is available for bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. Transfer support ranges from standby and one-person assists to two-person, Hoyer lift, and bed-bound transfers, ensuring continuity of care as needs change.
Accommodations include furnished rooms, many with private bathrooms, individual climate controls, cable access, and the option to personalize décor with paint or personal items. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are provided, though not every room contains every listed feature; availability depends on the specific unit selected.
Dining services offer a set menu at regular meals and an on-order option for added choice. Snacks are available throughout the day, and residents may eat in the dining room or receive in-room service when needed. The kitchen can manage gluten-free, vegetarian, mechanical-chopped, puréed, thickened-liquid, and other physician-ordered diets, aligning with the facility’s broader emphasis on medical management.
Additional amenities include outdoor smoking areas, full wheelchair accessibility, community-wide internet access, landscaped communal gardens, on-site religious services, and a pool. Scheduled transportation helps residents reach medical appointments, shopping venues, and local outings.
