The Stratford delivers both Assisted Living and Independent Living, giving residents access to support that ranges from occasional oversight to daily hands-on assistance. Licensed nurses manage medication plans and can oversee residents who need wound care, special diets, or oral-medication diabetes management. The team is also trained to serve adults living with mild dementia, adapting care plans as cognitive needs evolve. Because an RN or LPN is present around the clock and a nurse is always on call, medical concerns can be addressed without delay.
Non-medical support is organized around safety and prompt response. Staff members are background-checked, the building is door-alarmed, and residents can summon help at any time through pull cords or personal emergency response systems. An Activity Director coordinates daily programming, while onsite podiatry visits reduce the need for outside appointments. Caregivers can assist with the full range of self-care needs—bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting—and will help residents transfer with walkers or wheelchairs to minimize fall risk. Twenty-four-hour security and staffing keep the community monitored throughout the day and night.
Apartments come in several layouts, and not every unit includes every feature, but options such as private bathrooms, individual climate controls, cable connections, and the ability to paint or decorate allow residents to personalize their space. Dining offers flexibility with set menus, made-to-order dishes, and round-the-clock snacks, while dietary modifications are available for those who require low-sugar, low-sodium, or other physician-directed meal plans.
Independent Living residents can opt into medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, linen and personal laundry service, and a monthly meal plan that provides regular access to the same dining program used by Assisted Living residents. These add-on services let active adults maintain independence while knowing support is ready if their needs change.
Amenities on the campus include resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, full kitchens with appliances in select units, private dining rooms for family gatherings, and several shared lounges, a movie room, and an exercise and wellness center. A rooftop garden, greenhouse, communal gardens, and an indoor heated pool with Jacuzzi and sauna promote year-round recreation, and an onsite barber/beauty shop simplifies personal care. Internet access, on-site religious services, scheduled transportation, and proximity to public transit keep residents connected to the wider community. Pets are allowed in the building—it's a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Smoking is permitted in designated outdoor areas.
