Tendercare – Harvey Park operates as a residential care home, providing structured support for residents who need daily oversight and clinical monitoring. The team is equipped to accommodate adults who wander during the day or night, exhibit combative or behavioral challenges, stay awake overnight, require wound care or oxygen therapy, and those living with moderate dementia. Staff also manage diabetes for residents on either oral medications or insulin injections and serve adults under 60 who need an assisted living environment. Psychiatric conditions are accepted, giving the community flexibility to admit residents who might be turned away elsewhere.
Care delivery is reinforced by an RN or LPN on staff, an on-call nurse available 24 hours, and awake night-shift caregivers. Background checks are conducted for all employees, and the building maintains 24-hour staffing and security with fenced outdoor areas and personal emergency response systems that alert caregivers. Direct assistance is available for bathing, dressing, and toileting, with some physical help for meals. Transfer support ranges from standby oversight to one-person physical transfers, and residents may use walkers or wheelchairs as needed.
Private and semiprivate rooms are available, and some include en-suite bathrooms. Furnishings are provided, but residents may bring personal items and can paint or decorate with staff approval to make the space their own. Cable service is offered in select rooms, so families should verify specific features during a tour because not all accommodations have every option described.
Meals follow a set menu that is adjusted for physician-ordered diet modifications such as diabetic or texture-altered plans. Between meals, snacks are available so residents can maintain consistent blood sugar levels or meet calorie goals. Dining assistance is provided for those who need help cutting food, pacing intake, or monitoring carbohydrate counts.
Residents have access to off-street parking, outdoor smoking areas, wheelchair-accessible common spaces, an on-site barber and beauty shop, community internet, landscaped gardens, scheduled transportation, and proximity to public transit for appointments or personal outings. Pets are allowed. It's a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
