Del’S Haven III operates as a residential care home and is equipped to manage a wide range of medical and behavioral needs. The care team is prepared for residents who wander during the day or night, present elopement risk, exhibit combative or other challenging behaviors, stay awake all night, or require wound care, oxygen therapy, or special diets. Diabetic management covers oral medications, injectable insulin, and sliding-scale protocols. Staff members are trained to work with advanced dementia, and a nurse is on call around the clock. Full-assistance support is available for bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and the community can accommodate mobility requirements from walker assistance to two-person or Hoyer-lift transfers, including residents who are bedbound. On-site podiatry adds another clinical layer, reducing the need for off-site appointments and helping residents maintain foot health.
Safety and oversight are continuous. Caregivers stay awake on the night shift, background checks are completed on all personnel, and the rear grounds are fenced to reduce exit risk. Exterior doors are alarmed, and a personal emergency response system alerts staff when help is needed. An activity director coordinates daily programming aimed at maintaining cognitive and physical function. These combined measures provide a structured environment where residents with complex conditions receive close monitoring and timely intervention.
Accommodations vary, with some rooms offering a private bathroom, basic furnishings, cable service, and the option for residents or families to repaint or decorate. Other rooms provide a more standard setup without every feature, so it is important to confirm availability. Regardless of room type, the goal is to give residents a comfortable, familiar space that can be personalized to their taste and needs.
Dining services feature a set menu prepared daily, with the additional choice to order select items on demand. Snacks are accessible between meals, and the kitchen follows physician-ordered diet modifications, whether that involves low-sodium, diabetic, or texture-modified meals. Staff monitor intake and adjust portions or ingredients to meet individual nutritional goals.
Community amenities include outdoor smoking areas, wheelchair-accessible pathways, internet access, and communal gardens designed for casual use and scheduled activities. Both facility-provided transportation and proximity to public transit help residents reach medical appointments or local shops. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
