Novellus Clairemont provides both Assisted Living and Independent Living, enabling residents to choose the level of support that fits their needs. The community can manage residents who wander during the day or night, remain awake through late hours, require wound care, need oxygen, follow special diets, are under 60, or live with diabetes—whether controlled by oral medication, injections, or sliding-scale insulin. While the residence does not specialize in dementia care, its team is prepared to deliver clinical oversight for the conditions noted above.
Clinical services are reinforced by an RN or LPN on staff, a nurse on call 24 hours, and an awake night shift. Rooms are equipped with pull-cords and PERS devices that alert staff, and the building features fenced outdoor areas, alarmed doors, and round-the-clock security. Residents may see an on-site podiatrist and the community accepts individuals with psychiatric diagnoses. Full assistance is available for bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. Transfer help ranges from supervision for walkers to two-person or Hoyer-lift transfers, accommodating wheelchair users and those who are bed-bound.
Housing options include furnished suites with private bathrooms, independent temperature controls, and cable service; some apartments may also be repainted or decorated according to personal preference, but not every unit offers every feature. For those in Independent Living, the community provides medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, scheduled laundry, and a monthly meal plan, so residents can maintain autonomy while receiving practical support.
Meals are prepared to order, with snacks available throughout the day and diet modifications overseen for diabetes, low-sodium, or other physician-directed needs. The dining program works in tandem with clinical staff to ensure nutritional goals align with each resident’s care plan, whether they require high-calorie options for wound healing or carbohydrate counting for insulin management.
Amenities include resident parking, designated outdoor smoking areas, wheelchair-accessible common spaces, and on-site transportation options plus proximity to public transit. A barber and beauty shop, exercise room, wellness center, internet access points, communal gardens, and on-site religious services contribute to daily convenience. Stair glides aid those who prefer not to use elevators, and pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
