Paula's Guest Home operates as a Residential Care Home and is equipped to manage a wide spectrum of medical needs. The staff is trained to support residents who wander during the day or night, may attempt elopement, or present combative or other behavioral issues. Care teams monitor and treat wounds, administer oxygen therapy, and tailor meal plans for special diets. The community is prepared for residents under 60 and can manage all levels of diabetic care, including oral medications, injections, and sliding-scale insulin. Advanced dementia is also supported, with protocols in place to promote safety and continuity of care.
Background-checked caregivers are on duty around the clock, with an asleep night shift providing overnight supervision backed by fenced outdoor areas and alarmed doors for added security. A visiting podiatrist handles on-site foot and ankle care. Staff can provide full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. Transfer support ranges from standby help with walkers to two-person or full Hoyer-lift moves for bed-bound residents, accommodating wheelchairs and other mobility devices.
Private and shared accommodations are available, and most come furnished, though residents may bring personal belongings or repaint and decorate to preference. Cable service is offered in select rooms, so prospective residents who consider television essential should confirm availability during a tour. Not all rooms include every feature, so matching individual needs with room options is recommended.
Meals follow a set menu prepared in-house, with snacks accessible between scheduled dining times. The culinary team adjusts textures, portion sizes, and nutrient content to meet physician-ordered diet modifications, including diabetic and other specialized meal plans.
The building is wheelchair accessible, offers internet access for residents and guests, and arranges local transportation for medical appointments and errands when needed.
