Avana Knight Lane operates as a residential care home and is equipped to support residents with a broad range of medical needs. The staff is prepared for residents who wander or are at risk for elopement, those who exhibit combative or other behavioral issues, and individuals who stay up throughout the night. Wound care and oxygen management are available on site, and the team manages complex dietary requirements, including specialized diets for residents under 60, diabetics on oral medications, insulin injections, or sliding‐scale regimens. Services extend to residents living with advanced dementia, and the community accepts individuals with psychiatric diagnoses.
Care delivery is backed by an RN or LPN on staff with a nurse on call around the clock. All employees undergo background checks, and an activity director coordinates daily programming. Security measures include 24-hour staff presence, fenced outdoor areas, door alarms, and personal emergency response systems that alert the team. Podiatry visits take place on site, and the home can fully assist with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. Transfer support ranges from standby help or walker use to one-person, two-person, or full Hoyer lift transfers, and care is available for residents who are bed bound.
Private and semi-private rooms are available, some with their own bathrooms. Rooms come furnished, though residents may bring personal items, choose paint colors, or add décor. Independent temperature controls and cable connections are offered in select units, but not every accommodation includes each of these features.
Meals follow either a set menu or an on-order format, and snacks are accessible throughout the day. The kitchen staff provides diet modifications for diabetic, low-sodium, or other physician-ordered regimens, in coordination with the clinical team to ensure consistency with each care plan.
The property supplies resident parking, is wheelchair accessible, and offers internet access. Smoking is permitted outdoors, pets are allowed, and the grounds include communal gardens and on-site religious services. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
