Cheerful Heart Home operates as a residential care home, providing continuous support for residents with a wide range of medical needs. The team is trained to manage wandering behaviors at any time of day, respond to combative or otherwise challenging behavioral issues, and supervise residents who are awake throughout the night. Clinical attention is available for wound care, oxygen therapy, special dietary requirements, and diabetic management for both oral medications and insulin injections. Residents living with advanced dementia are accepted and benefit from programming and oversight designed for high-acuity cognitive decline.
Care is backed by staff members who remain on site around the clock, including an overnight shift. The property is secured by perimeter fencing, door alarms, pull-cord alert systems, and 24-hour personnel presence. A visiting podiatrist provides routine foot care without the need for outside appointments. Residents who need full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, or toileting receive hands-on help, and the team can accommodate mobility levels from walker users to those who are bed bound through one-person or two-person transfers and standby supervision.
Private and semi-private rooms are available, and not every room includes every feature. Some rooms have private bathrooms, existing furnishings, cable service, and the option for residents or families to repaint or decorate. Prospective residents can review specific room layouts and features during a tour.
Meals are served on a set menu with attention to physician-ordered or preference-based diet modifications, including low-sodium, diabetic, and texture-altered plans. Snacks are stocked and offered between meals, and staff members provide full assistance at mealtimes for residents who cannot feed themselves.
Amenities and convenience services include outdoor smoking areas, acceptance of personal pets, wheelchair-accessible common areas, an on-site barber and beauty salon, community Wi-Fi, landscaped communal gardens, and scheduled transportation for medical appointments or shopping. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
