Casa Dorinda operates as a continuing care retirement community, meaning residents can move among independent living, assisted living, memory support, and skilled nursing without leaving the campus. Licensed nurses are on duty around the clock, and a medical director oversees on-site primary care services. The health center includes short-term rehabilitation, physical, occupational, and speech therapy, along with post-hospital recovery programs. Medication management, wound care, IV therapy, and hospice coordination are available, and every apartment is connected to an emergency response system that links directly to the nursing team.
Beyond clinical services, the community provides routine health monitoring, fall-prevention assessments, and scheduled wellness checks. A therapy gym supports physician-ordered exercise plans, while visiting specialists handle podiatry, audiology, dentistry, and optometry. Transportation to outside medical appointments is included, and care conferences keep residents, families, and physicians updated on progress or changes. Memory support residents benefit from secured outdoor areas and staff trained in dementia care techniques to minimize agitation and wandering.
Accommodation options range from studios to two-bedroom apartments and detached cottages. Depending on the floor plan, residences may feature kitchenettes, full kitchens, patios, fireplaces, or in-unit laundry, but not every unit offers each of these features. All units have basic utilities, weekly housekeeping, maintenance, and access to cable and internet. Emergency pull cords or pendants are standard, and staff perform regular safety checks. Small pets are allowed. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
Meals are served three times daily in a central dining room, with rotating menus planned by a dietitian to accommodate low-sodium, diabetic, vegetarian, and other physician-ordered diets. A casual bistro offers lighter fare and take-out options, and room service can be arranged for residents recovering from illness or therapy. Special events such as holiday brunches and cookouts are scheduled throughout the year. Complimentary beverages and snacks are available during the day, and residents can request nutrition consultations to adjust meal plans as health needs change.
