Family Care – Buckboard Home operates as a residential care home, which means residents receive around-the-clock supervision while living in a house-like environment rather than an institutional setting. The team can manage complex health profiles, including residents who wander at any time of day, present elopement risks, show behavioral challenges, stay awake through the night, or require wound care, oxygen, or special diets. Staff are also equipped to serve adults younger than 60 and individuals living with advanced dementia. Diabetic care spans oral medications, injections, and sliding-scale insulin management, with close monitoring to keep blood sugar levels steady.

Ongoing safety and clinical oversight form the backbone of the community’s service model. All employees undergo background checks, and both awake and asleep night-shift coverage ensures someone is always available. The property features 24-hour staff presence, perimeter fencing, door alarms, pull-cord systems, and personal emergency response systems that alert caregivers quickly. A visiting podiatrist addresses routine foot health, and the home accepts residents with psychiatric diagnoses. Direct care staff provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Mobility support ranges from standby help for walker users to two-person or full Hoyer-lift transfers for bed-bound individuals.

Living spaces come furnished, and residents may request to paint or otherwise personalize their rooms; cable service is available in many, though not all, accommodations. Private and shared layouts are arranged to accommodate different budgets and care needs. Common areas are configured for wheelchair access, and each room is situated to keep caregivers within easy reach.

Meals follow a set menu prepared to meet dietary guidelines, with accommodations for diabetic, low-salt, or other physician-directed modifications. Snacks are stocked throughout the day so residents can maintain calorie intake between meals. Staff remain on hand to provide full feed-assistance when required and to document nutritional intake for residents on specialized diets.

Supplemental amenities include outdoor smoking areas, pet-friendly policies, wheelchair-accessible design, an on-site barber and beauty station, internet access, maintained communal gardens, regular religious services, and scheduled transportation for medical appointments or local outings; public transit stops are also nearby. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
