Better Days Living operates as a residential care home, delivering hands-on medical support that covers overnight monitoring, wound care, oxygen therapy, special diet preparation, and comprehensive diabetes management for residents relying on oral medications, insulin injections, or sliding-scale regimens. Moderate dementia conditions are accepted, and the staff is trained to recognize changes in cognition early. On-site podiatry and audiology clinics reduce the need for outside appointments, and direct personal-care assistance is available for bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting at the full-assistance level. Residents who use walkers, require one-person transfers, or are bed-bound receive daily mobility support.
The nursing structure includes an RN or LPN on staff and a nurse on call around the clock. All employees undergo background checks, and an awake night shift reinforces safety. Exterior safeguards such as a fenced rear area and alarmed doors help prevent wandering. For residents who choose independent living, the community offers medication-management monitoring so that dosing schedules are reviewed without infringing on personal autonomy.
Private and semiprivate rooms are offered; some come with private bathrooms, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate, while others include only a portion of these features. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry are standard in all units. In the dining program, three meals are served daily with snacks available between seatings. Residents may eat in the main dining room, request in-room service, or reserve a private dining room for visiting family. The kitchen accommodates diet modifications such as gluten-free, mechanical-chopped, puréed, thickened-liquid, vegetarian, and other physician-ordered plans.
Independent-living residents who enroll in medication-management monitoring have their prescriptions audited, refills tracked, and adherence checked by licensed nurses, ensuring continuity of care without removing the resident’s independence.
Community amenities include wheelchair-accessible common areas, a movie room, campus-wide internet access, concierge assistance, and scheduled transportation for errands or medical appointments. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
