The Gables of Shelley is an assisted-living community that focuses on delivering practical, everyday health support. Residents who need short-term or respite care can be accommodated without disrupting the normal routine of the building, and individuals managing diabetes receive help with glucose monitoring, diet coordination, and medication reminders. A physician visits the community on a scheduled basis, providing assessments and working with staff to adjust care plans as resident needs change.
Safety protocols back up that clinical approach. The property is a secured community, limiting access to authorized visitors and residents only. Each apartment and common area is tied into an emergency call system so staff can respond quickly, and smoke detectors are installed and maintained throughout the building. Together, these measures establish a predictable environment intended to reduce risk and give residents and families clear points of contact in case something goes wrong.
Private and companion suites are available, and not every unit has every feature, so prospective residents are encouraged to verify specific details during a tour. Depending on the floor plan, apartments may include handicap-accessible layouts, cable or satellite television connections, individual climate controls, and kitchenettes. Wi-Fi is available throughout the property, and wheelchair-accessible showers are standard in many rooms. Outside the apartments, residents have access to a central fireplace lounge, a piano or organ for casual use, dedicated parking, and landscaped outdoor areas.
Dining follows an all-day schedule, allowing residents to choose when to eat rather than having to conform to limited service windows. Three meals are prepared daily, and healthy snacks are set out between mealtimes. When weather allows, staff organize BBQs or picnic-style lunches in the outdoor spaces, giving residents an additional change of scenery without leaving campus. Special diets can be accommodated by working directly with kitchen staff.
Daily life is rounded out by an activity calendar that includes an on-site activity center, clubs, indoor and outdoor walking paths, TV and movie nights in a dedicated screening room, and scheduled day trips. Live dance or theater performances, light therapy sessions, reminiscence programs, and birthday parties are also held regularly. A library and computer lounge supports quiet reading and online access, and social outings into Shelley and nearby communities help residents stay connected with the broader area.
