Agape Congregate Living in Placentia delivers assisted-living care that can support residents with a wide range of medical needs. The team is trained to care for individuals who wander during the day or night, are at risk for elopement, or present combative or other behavioral challenges, including those who remain awake through the night. Nurses manage wound care, oxygen therapy and special diet requirements, and they administer diabetic treatments whether the regimen involves oral medications, scheduled insulin injections or sliding-scale dosing. The community also accepts residents under 60 and is equipped to serve people living with advanced dementia.
A registered or licensed practical nurse is on site at all times, complemented by an additional 24-hour nurse presence. All staff members undergo background checks, and an awake night shift responds to pull-cord alerts. Doors are alarmed, the rear grounds are fenced and security is maintained around the clock to limit unsupervised exit. Caregivers provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating and toileting, and can perform transfers ranging from simple standby support to two-person and Hoyer-lift moves for bed-bound residents. A visiting podiatrist supplies routine foot care, and an activity director coordinates daily programs while monitoring resident well-being.
Private and semi-private rooms are available; some arrive fully furnished, while others can be customized with personal furniture, paint colors or decorations. Cable television service is offered in certain units, so availability can vary from room to room.
Meals are prepared to order three times a day, and snacks are kept on hand between mealtimes. The culinary staff adjusts textures, ingredients and portion sizes as needed to comply with physician-directed diet plans, ranging from carbohydrate-controlled menus for diabetics to other specialized nutritional requirements.
The building is wheelchair accessible throughout and equipped with internet access for residents who wish to stay connected. Landscaped communal gardens provide outdoor space, and on-site religious services are scheduled for those who choose to participate. The community operates its own transportation program and is located close to public transit, making it easier to reach medical appointments, shopping and local outings.
