At Home on Cholla is a residential care home that centers its program on residents who need close medical oversight. The team is prepared for advanced dementia as well as behaviors such as wandering, elopement risk, combative episodes, and staying up all night. Nurses can handle wound care, oxygen therapy, special diets, and all levels of diabetic management, including sliding-scale insulin. A registered nurse or licensed practical nurse is on staff, and a nurse is on call around the clock for changes in condition. Residents benefit from on-site podiatry visits, and the community is willing to admit individuals with psychiatric diagnoses.
Safety and staffing protocols reinforce the medical program. Caregivers provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and they are trained for transfers ranging from standby help to Hoyer lift support. Night coverage includes both awake and asleep staff, with 24-hour security, a fenced rear area, door alarms, and a personal emergency response system that alerts staff. All employees complete background checks before hire.
Resident rooms may include a private bathroom, furnished basics, independent temperature controls, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate; however, not every unit offers every feature. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are provided. Meals follow either a set menu or cook-to-order format, with the kitchen able to prepare gluten-free, vegetarian, mechanical-chop, puréed, and thickened-liquid diets. Snacks are on hand throughout the day, and in-room dining is available when needed.
Most meals are served in the communal dining area, but staff can coordinate tray service for residents who are ill or prefer privacy. Nutrition management works directly with nursing to align carbohydrate counts, sodium levels, and other physician-ordered modifications. Hydration checks are routine, and staff monitor intake for residents with swallowing concerns.
The community features resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, internet access, and outdoor smoking areas. A landscaped garden offers a place to walk or sit, and on-site religious services are scheduled regularly. Transportation can be arranged for medical appointments or errands.
