Canterfield of Clay County offers assisted-living care designed for older adults who need help with daily tasks while wanting to maintain as much independence as possible. A key part of the service is diabetes care: staff monitor blood glucose levels, help with insulin management, track medication schedules, and coordinate with outside physicians as needed. Routine health assessments and on-site response to changes in condition seek to keep residents stable and reduce hospital visits.
Beyond diabetes management, residents receive support with bathing, dressing, mobility, and other activities of daily living. Care associates are on duty around the clock, and each resident has an individualized service plan that is reviewed regularly. The community maintains an emergency call system, arranges transportation to medical appointments, and can coordinate therapy or hospice services when prescribed. Families receive updates so they remain informed about their loved one’s wellness.
Living options include private and companion suites, some of which offer direct access to outdoor areas for fresh air and casual walks. Rooms feature basic safety enhancements such as grab bars and emergency pull cords, and housekeeping and maintenance are provided. Not all accommodations include every feature, so it is advisable to confirm specific details during a visit.
The culinary team prepares three daily meals, served in a central dining room with table service. Menus are adjusted for nutritional needs, including carbohydrate-controlled choices for residents managing diabetes. Snacks are available between meals, and staff can assist with portion control or modified textures when ordered by a physician.
Residents can spend time in the community’s activity center, which hosts exercise sessions, games, arts projects, and educational programs. Scheduled events aim to support social interaction and cognitive engagement while allowing each person to choose how much to participate.
