The Orchards at Southington provides Assisted Living care that can be adjusted to meet a wide spectrum of medical needs. Residents with moderate dementia, behavioral issues, combative tendencies, wound care requirements, oxygen therapy, special diet orders, or a pattern of staying up all night can be accommodated. Full assistance is available for bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and the staff is trained to manage transfers ranging from simple standby assistance with a walker to full Hoyer-lift support or bed-bound care. On-site medical services include regular podiatry visits, and the community is able to accept residents with psychiatric conditions, allowing for a consistent continuum of care without the need to move to another facility.
Clinical oversight is reinforced by an RN or LPN on staff and a nurse on call around the clock. All team members undergo background checks, and an awake night shift helps monitor residents who are at risk of wandering or who require overnight attention. Safety measures include a fenced rear area, alarmed doors, in-room pull cords, and personal emergency response systems that link directly to staff. An activity director coordinates daily programming tailored to residents’ cognitive and physical abilities. These supports are layered to keep residents secure while enabling the highest practical level of independence.
Accommodations range from suites with private bathrooms and kitchenettes to more compact layouts; not every residence includes every feature such as independent temperature controls, cable, or the option to repaint, so prospective residents should confirm availability during a tour. Meals are served from a standard menu, with an on-order option for added choice, and snacks are accessible throughout the day. The culinary team manages modified diets to meet medical or cultural needs. Independent Living residents on the same campus can receive medication management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, and laundry services, which can ease the transition should greater support be required later.
Community amenities include resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, an exercise room, a movie room, a wellness center with internet access, communal gardens, on-site religious services, and scheduled transportation for appointments or outings. These features give residents convenient ways to stay active, connected, and engaged without leaving the property.
