Nelisha Family Home operates as a residential care home and is structured for residents who need consistent oversight and clinical attention. The team is prepared to handle common behaviors associated with dementia, including wandering in the daytime or at night, elopement risk, and residents who stay awake throughout the night. Caregivers are also trained to follow physician-ordered special diets and manage diabetes for residents on oral medications. The community accepts residents with advanced dementia conditions and delivers care that meets those higher-level cognitive and physical needs.

Round-the-clock nursing oversight forms the backbone of daily operations, with an RN or LPN on staff and a nurse available on call 24 hours a day. Background-checked caregivers remain awake on the night shift, and the building maintains 24-hour security with fenced outdoor areas and door alarms to reduce exit-seeking incidents. A licensed podiatrist visits on site for routine foot care, eliminating the need for many outside appointments. Direct support for bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting is offered at a full-assistance level, and staff can provide walker and wheelchair support, standby or supervised transfers, and one- or two-person physical transfers as required.

Private and semi-private rooms are available, and not every room includes the same features. Some accommodations include a private bathroom, furnishings, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate to personal preference. Families can confirm exact room configurations during a visit.

Meals are prepared onsite and residents can select from a set menu or request meals to order. Staff accommodate dietary modifications ranging from diabetic-friendly plates to other physician-ordered restrictions, and snacks are available throughout the day for added calorie or hydration support.

Residents have access to off-street parking, a fully wheelchair-accessible layout, and scheduled transportation for appointments or errands. A barber and beauty salon, internet access, communal gardens, and on-site religious services are part of daily life. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. The home is also close to public transportation options for visiting family members or residents who travel independently.
