In R Great Hands – Montevideo is licensed for assisted-living and structures its medical support around individualized service plans built with each resident’s physician. Trained caregivers are on site around the clock to provide scheduled and unscheduled help with medication administration, blood-pressure checks, glucose monitoring and other routine measurements ordered by doctors. When a resident’s condition changes, staff coordinate directly with family members, primary care practices, home-health nurses or hospice providers to keep treatment instructions current. Safety protocols include regular fall-risk assessments, bed or chair alarms when needed and immediate access to local emergency services via an installed emergency call system.
Beyond its clinical oversight, the community delivers day-to-day personal assistance such as help with dressing, grooming, bathing and transfers. Residents who need mobility devices receive cueing or hands-on aid to move around the property, and continence management programs are available for those who require reminders or full incontinence care. Transportation can be scheduled for outside medical appointments, and the staff arrange in-house podiatry, physical therapy or lab draws when physicians order them. A slate of fitness classes, cognitive games and social activities is offered, and participation levels are tracked so caregivers can adjust engagement strategies if a resident begins to withdraw.
Accommodations include a selection of private or semiprivate bedrooms laid out on a single story to minimize fall hazards. Rooms are equipped with individual climate controls, emergency pull cords and basic cable hookups, and bathrooms feature grab bars and non-slip flooring; however, not every unit includes a private bath, patio access or upgraded flooring, so prospective residents should confirm specific features during their tour. Housekeeping, linen service and maintenance are performed on a set schedule, and residents can request additional cleaning if there is a change in health status that requires stricter infection-control measures.
Three daily meals are served in the communal dining room, with entrées and alternates posted in advance so residents can plan around their preferences. Menus are reviewed by a dietitian to ensure they meet nutritional guidelines for older adults and can be modified for low-sodium, diabetic, renal or mechanical-soft requirements. A hydration station and between-meal snacks remain available throughout the day, and caregivers can provide modified portions or direct feeding support when needed. Residents who prefer to dine in their rooms may request tray service, though the community encourages attendance in the dining area for social and cognitive benefits.
