Brightstar Care Home Summerset operates as both an assisted-living setting and a licensed residential care home, giving residents access to varying levels of daily oversight. The team is prepared to manage mild dementia conditions and provides targeted support for residents who may wander during either the day or night. Oxygen management, therapeutic diets, and medication oversight for diabetics on oral agents are all handled on site. Residents also benefit from scheduled podiatry visits, and staff supply full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting when needed.
Registered and licensed nurses are on staff, with a nurse on call around the clock. Caregivers remain awake through the night, and every employee undergoes background screening. The building maintains 24-hour staffing, door alarms, a fenced rear area, and in-room pull cords to alert staff. Transfer help ranges from standby assistance and walker guidance to one-person or two-person lifts, full Hoyer transfers, and support for bed-bound individuals, ensuring mobility needs are met at multiple levels.
Private and semi-private rooms are available furnished, and some can be personalized with resident paint colors or décor, although not every room offers every feature. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are provided, and maintenance staff address routine upkeep.
Meals are ordered from a daily menu with snacks available between dining periods. In-room service is offered for those who prefer or require it, and the kitchen modifies textures and nutrients as prescribed, including pureed options and physician-directed diet plans.
Common areas are wheelchair accessible, a small movie room hosts regular showings, and reliable internet access lets residents stay connected to family, entertainment, and telehealth resources.
