The Retreat at Jasper offers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, allowing residents to receive a level of support that matches their individual medical needs. The community accepts residents who wander during the day or night, those with a history of elopement, individuals using oxygen, and persons requiring special diets. It can also accommodate adults under 60 and diabetics who manage the condition with either oral medications or insulin injections. Care teams are trained to work with advanced dementia, giving families an option when cognitive changes become complex.
Clinical oversight is reinforced by an RN or LPN on site and a nurse available on call 24 hours a day. All staff members undergo background checks, and an awake night shift adds an extra layer of monitoring. Building features such as a fenced rear area, alarmed doors, emergency pull cords, and a personal emergency response system reduce risk for residents prone to exit seeking. A dedicated therapy room brings certain rehabilitation services directly to the building, limiting the need for outside appointments. For personal care, caregivers provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and they are trained in walker and wheelchair support, standby or supervision transfers, and one-person lifts.
Apartments vary but may include private bathrooms and cable service, while standard housekeeping keeps living spaces orderly. Scheduled laundry services are part of the basic package, reducing the day-to-day burden on residents and their families. Because layouts and feature sets differ, it is best to confirm specific room details during a tour.
Residents receive three daily meals with snacks available between service times. A private dining room can be reserved for family gatherings, and the kitchen team accommodates physician-ordered diet modifications such as low-sodium, diabetic-friendly, or mechanically altered menus. Staff remain on hand to provide full assistance at mealtimes for anyone who needs help cutting food or managing utensils.
Common-area amenities include wheelchair-accessible entrances and pathways, a barber and beauty shop, a movie room, internet access, communal gardens, on-site religious services, a concierge desk, and a library. These features give residents opportunities for social engagement and convenient access to everyday services without leaving the property.
