The Trousdale provides assisted living supported by a clinical team trained to address a range of health needs. Staff monitor blood-glucose levels and administer oral diabetes medications, coordinate special diets, and manage low- or no-sugar menu plans. For residents who use oxygen, supplies and usage are overseen and documented. The community also has protocols for residents who wander, with staff coverage and secure entryways in both morning and evening hours, and elopement precautions for higher-risk individuals.
Beyond day-to-day medical oversight, the community offers respite and short-term stays, giving family caregivers temporary relief or allowing prospective residents to “try out” the setting. Around-the-clock caregivers assist with activities of daily living, while licensed professionals handle medication management and coordinate with outside physicians and therapists. Care plans are reviewed regularly to align with changes in mobility, cognition, or diet orders.
Apartments are designed for accessibility and comfort, with options that may include private bathrooms, kitchenettes, wheelchair-accessible showers, and air conditioning. Cable or satellite TV, Wi-Fi, and resident-controlled thermostats are available in most units, and some floor plans open onto an outside patio or offer views of the central fireplace and landscaped grounds. Dogs and cats are welcome within stated weight limits, and short-term furnished suites can be arranged for respite stays. Because layouts and features vary, prospective residents are encouraged to verify which amenities are included in the specific apartment they choose.
Dining follows a restaurant-style approach with three chef-prepared meals each day, plus snacks and beverages available at any time. Menus rotate on a set schedule but can be customized for low-sodium, no-sugar, vegetarian, kosher, or other physician-ordered diets. Residents may opt for room service, grab a bite in the café/Bistro, or entertain guests in the private dining room. Seasonal BBQs and the on-site bar provide additional dining venues without leaving the property.
Residents have access to a full calendar of programs such as art classes, gardening club, brain-fitness sessions, tai chi, yoga, live musical performances, and movie nights in the theater room. On-site fitness equipment, stretching classes, and Wii bowling support physical activity, while educational speakers, trivia games, and intergenerational projects engage the mind. Off-site outings range from wine tastings to community service events, and holiday or birthday parties help residents stay socially connected.
