Kernan Private Nursing Care AFCH operates as a residential care home designed for residents who need consistent medical oversight. The team is equipped to manage advanced dementia and a wide range of behavioral or medical situations such as wandering, elopement risk, combative tendencies, nighttime wakefulness, oxygen therapy, and strict dietary requirements. Diabetic care covers oral medications, insulin injections, and sliding-scale monitoring, and a nurse is on call 24 hours a day to coordinate these services.

Direct care includes full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. The staff remains awake throughout the night, and the property features continual security coverage, door alarms, and a fenced rear area to reduce elopement risk. Transfer help is available for residents who use walkers or wheelchairs, require standby support, or need a one-person lift. All employees undergo background checks to maintain a safe environment.

Private and semi-private rooms come furnished, and residents may paint or decorate to match personal preferences. Cable service is offered in many rooms, although not every accommodation includes every feature, so confirming availability in advance is advisable.

Meals follow a set menu, and snacks are offered between scheduled dining times. The kitchen accommodates physician-ordered diets, texture modifications, and other nutritional management plans, ensuring residents with special diets—such as low-sodium, diabetic, or high-calorie options—receive appropriate meals.

Residents have access to on-site parking, designated outdoor smoking areas, and wheelchair-accessible common spaces. The home provides a movie room, internet access, and communal gardens, and transportation can be arranged for medical appointments or errands. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
