St. Joseph’s Guest Home operates as a residential care home designed for adults who need daily support and close medical oversight. The community is prepared to manage residents who wander and those with advanced dementia, behavioral issues, wound care needs, or special diets. Diabetes management is available for oral medications, insulin injections, and sliding-scale regimens, and the staff accepts residents younger than 60 when appropriate.
Around-the-clock staffing underpins the medical program. An RN or LPN is on site, a nurse is on call 24 hours a day, and caregivers stay awake through the night. Security measures include a fully staffed facility at all hours, perimeter fencing, door alarms, and resident PERS units that alert staff immediately. Transfer assistance ranges from standby help with a walker to two-person and bed-bound transfers, ensuring residents with limited mobility remain safe. Full assistance is offered for bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. On-site podiatry visits are available, and the community accepts residents with psychiatric diagnoses.
Private and semi-private rooms come furnished, and some allow residents to paint or decorate to personalize their space. Cable service and regular housekeeping are provided in select accommodations, but availability can vary by room type. Families should review individual rooms during a tour to confirm which features are included.
Meals follow a set menu with snacks available throughout the day. The kitchen can prepare mechanical-chopped, puréed, thickened-liquid, vegetarian, and other physician-ordered diets, supporting residents who require precise nutritional management.
The property is wheelchair accessible, offers internet access, and maintains communal gardens for outdoor recreation. On-site religious services are scheduled regularly, and public transportation stops are nearby, simplifying visits and outings.
