Huntington House operates as a residential care home and is equipped to handle a broad range of medical needs. The team is trained to support residents who wander during the day or night, exhibit behavioral issues, remain awake through the night, require wound care, use oxygen, need specialized diets, are under 60 years old, or manage diabetes with oral medications. Staff members are also experienced in caring for residents with advanced dementia, ensuring their routines and safety measures align with disease progression.
Care delivery is structured and supervised. All employees pass background checks, an awake night shift is in place, and pull-cord call systems link residents directly to caregivers. An activity director coordinates daily programming, while caregivers provide full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. Transfer help ranges from standby or one-person assistance to two-person transfers, full Hoyer lifts, and bed-bound support, accommodating walkers, wheelchairs, and varying strength levels.
Private bathrooms are available in select rooms, and residents may paint or decorate their living spaces to their liking, though not every accommodation offers every feature. Rooms are designed to fit mobility devices and medical equipment when needed, and housekeeping keeps the environment orderly.
Dining follows a straightforward approach centered on diet modification and management. Menus are adjusted for diabetic needs, texture changes, sodium control, or other physician-ordered restrictions, allowing residents to maintain medical compliance without extra effort.
Amenities include resident parking, outdoor smoking areas, pet-friendly policies, wheelchair accessibility throughout the property, an on-site barber and beauty shop, communal gardens, and arranged transportation for appointments or errands. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
