Astoria Senior Care Homes At Monarch Bay is a residential care home that centers its services on residents with complex health profiles. The team is prepared to manage wandering behaviors morning or night, provide interventions for combative or other behavioral issues, and stay attentive to residents who are up throughout the night. Clinical support extends to wound care, oxygen management, special diet preparation, and comprehensive diabetes services, whether the resident uses oral medication, injections, or requires sliding-scale insulin. The community also accepts residents under 60 and accommodates moderate dementia conditions.
Care delivery is backed by a 24-hour nurse on call, staff who have cleared background checks, and both awake and asleep night shifts to maintain coverage. Safety measures include a fenced rear area, door alarms, and in-room pull cords that alert staff. An activity director coordinates daily programs, while on-site podiatry visits and acceptance of psychiatric diagnoses help reduce outside appointments. Hands-on support is available for bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting at a full-assistance level. Transfer help ranges from simple standby and walker support to one-person or two-person assists, full Hoyer lift transfers, and care for bed-bound residents.
Rooms are offered with varying features such as private bathrooms, basic furnishings, cable hookups, and the option to paint or decorate the space. Not every accommodation includes every feature, so prospective residents and families may want to confirm specific room details during a tour.
Dining services provide three daily meals from a set menu with the option to order alternatives, along with snacks throughout the day. The kitchen team manages physician-ordered diet modifications, ensuring residents with diabetic, low-sodium, or other specialized needs receive appropriate meals.
The property is wheelchair accessible and maintains communal gardens for outdoor use. Residents can arrange transportation for medical appointments or errands, and an on-site barber and beauty shop is available for personal grooming. Internet access supports online activities, smoking is permitted in designated outdoor areas, and pets are welcome under community guidelines. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
