D & C Elderly Home operates as a licensed residential care home and is equipped to handle a wide range of medical needs. A nurse is on site to oversee wound care, administer oxygen therapy, manage medications, and coordinate special diets, including support for residents with diabetes maintained on oral medications. The care team is trained to serve individuals living with advanced dementia and can also coordinate hospice services when appropriate.
Daily care tasks are fully supported. Staff members who have cleared background checks provide hands-on assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Transfer help is available for residents who walk with a cane or walker, those who use wheelchairs, and individuals who need a one-person lift or are bed-bound. The building’s rear area is fenced, exterior doors are alarmed, and personal emergency response systems alert staff even during the overnight shift when caregivers are on duty but asleep.
Private and semiprivate rooms are available, and some include an in-room bathroom, basic furnishings, and cable service. Residents may choose to paint or decorate their rooms, and housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are provided; availability of particular features varies by room type.
Meals are cooked to order, and snacks are on hand throughout the day. Residents may eat in the dining area or request in-room service. The kitchen follows physician-ordered diet modifications, offering mechanical-chopped, puréed, thickened-liquid, vegetarian, and other specialized options to match individual needs.
Common-area amenities include wheelchair-accessible pathways, a movie room, reliable internet access, a sunroom with skylights, and an on-site hair stylist. Smoking is permitted outdoors. Social outings are organized regularly, and transportation is offered through the community’s Townecar service.
