Serenity Of Lake Storey operates as a nursing home, delivering around-the-clock skilled nursing care for residents who need continual medical oversight. Licensed nurses are on duty at all times to manage complex health conditions, perform wound care, administer medications, and coordinate with physicians for routine and specialty visits. Short-term respite stays are also offered, giving family caregivers relief while ensuring the temporary resident receives the same level of clinical attention available to long-term residents.
Ancillary medical services reinforce this core nursing support. Residents have access to physical, occupational, and speech therapies ordered by their physician and carried out on-site. A structured care-planning process tracks each individual’s progress, with adjustments made by an interdisciplinary team that includes nurses, therapists, social services, and dietary staff. Emergency response protocols are in place, and the facility maintains relationships with nearby hospitals for quick transfers if needed.
Private and semi-private rooms are designed with practical features such as accessible bathrooms and emergency call systems. Housekeeping services are provided, but not every accommodation includes all available features, so prospective residents should verify specific room amenities during a tour. Outdoor areas give residents places to enjoy fresh air, socialize, or participate in supervised activities when weather permits.
Meals are served in a communal dining room where staff members monitor nutritional intake and accommodate physician-ordered diets such as cardiac, diabetic, or mechanically altered textures. Residents who cannot leave their rooms comfortably can receive meal service in their accommodations. Menus rotate to provide variety, and a dietitian reviews offerings to align with individual care plans and promote balanced nutrition.
Residents have use of an activity center that hosts group exercises, crafts, and social events coordinated by the life-enrichment team. A library and computer lounge offers resources for reading, internet access, and quiet study or correspondence, supporting ongoing learning and connection with family and friends.
