Heritage Wood Dwight – 0413 – SL provides Assisted Living that also accommodates residents with mild dementia conditions. The program is designed for individuals who need help with daily activities yet still seek as much independence as possible. Medical oversight is led by licensed nurses, with a Registered Nurse or Licensed Practical Nurse on staff and a nurse on call around the clock to address changes in condition or medication needs.
Additional safety and support measures include mandatory background checks for employees, an awake night-shift team, an activity director who plans structured cognitive and social programs, and in-room pull cords that alert staff. On-site podiatry services and a dedicated therapy room reduce the need for outside appointments. Staff can help with bathing, dressing, and toileting that require some physical assistance, while residents who can eat independently are encouraged to do so. Transfers are supported for walker and wheelchair users and can be provided with standby supervision or a one-person assist.
Living options range from suites with private bathrooms and kitchenettes to more compact rooms; not every residence offers every feature, so families should confirm specific layouts during a tour. Many units include independent temperature controls and cable service, and routine housekeeping and scheduled laundry help residents keep their space in order. Meals follow a set menu, but snacks are available throughout the day, and residents may choose in-room dining or reserve the private dining room for family visits.
Independent Living participants can receive medication-management monitoring, housekeeping, laundry, and a monthly meal plan, allowing them to remain self-reliant while having support close at hand.
The community offers resident parking, outdoor smoking areas, and is wheelchair accessible throughout. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Additional amenities include a barber/beauty shop, exercise room, internet access, on-site religious services, concierge assistance, a library, special-interest clubs, and scheduled transportation for appointments and errands.
