North Star Adult Care Home operates as a residential care home and is equipped to address a variety of medical needs. Staff can monitor residents who wander, administer oxygen, and follow physician-ordered special diets. The team also serves adults under 60 and manages diabetes at multiple levels, handling oral medications, insulin injections, and sliding-scale regimens. Moderate dementia care is supported with structured routines and safety measures. In-house podiatry visits minimize the need for off-site appointments, helping residents maintain foot health without leaving the property.
A 24-hour nurse is on call, and caregivers are on site around the clock. All employees undergo background checks, and an asleep night shift monitors residents during overnight hours. Security measures include a fenced rear area, alarmed doors, and a PERS system that immediately notifies staff. Caregivers provide full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. Transfer help ranges from standby supervision to two-person lifts and Hoyer lift use, and residents who are bed-bound can also be accommodated.
Private and semi-private rooms come furnished, and residents may paint or decorate if desired. Cable service is available in many rooms, housekeeping is provided, and laundry is handled on a scheduled basis. Because room layouts vary, not every accommodation includes every feature.
Meals follow a set menu prepared to meet nutritional guidelines, with snacks offered between meals. The kitchen can modify textures to mechanical-chop, purée, or thickened-liquid consistencies, and vegetarian options are available. Special diets ordered by physicians are followed closely to support each resident’s medical plan.
Residents have wheelchair-accessible common areas, an on-site barber and beauty shop, and internet access for personal use or virtual visits with family. Outdoor communal gardens offer space for fresh air and light activity, and on-site religious services provide spiritual support without the need to travel.
