Kokomo Place offers traditional assisted-living care with an emphasis on consistent medical oversight. Residents who require oxygen management, specialized diets, or diabetic support—whether through oral medications, injections, or sliding-scale insulin—are monitored by an on-site registered nurse or licensed practical nurse at all times. A nurse is on the property 24 hours a day, and scheduled physician visits are arranged on campus. Hospice services, medication management, physical and occupational therapy, podiatry, ambulatory care, and a wellness program are all available without leaving the community. Although a memory-care program operates elsewhere on campus, the assisted-living residence itself does not admit residents with a dementia diagnosis.
Daily support extends to full assistance with bathing, dressing, and toileting, while mealtime help is provided on a self-care basis. Residents who use walkers, wheelchairs, or need standby or one-person transfers receive staff supervision around the clock. Pull-cord alert systems connect directly to the care team, and background-checked employees undergo regular training. Security staff remain on site 24 hours a day, and an activity director coordinates structured programs that complement each resident’s care plan.
Private suites and companion apartments are available; some include a private bathroom, kitchenette, individual climate controls, and the option to repaint or bring personal décor. Because layouts vary, not every unit contains each of these features, so it is best to confirm specific details during a tour. Independent-living residents on the campus can opt into medication-management monitoring, giving them scheduled reminders and nurse oversight without the full service package of assisted living.
Dining services present three options: a rotating set menu, cooked-to-order selections, and all-day snacks. Special dietary needs—such as low-sugar, low-salt, or diabetic-friendly meals—are prepared under nurse guidance to align with individual care plans. Residents have the flexibility to eat in the main dining room or request meal delivery to their apartments when preferred.
On the lifestyle side, the community provides resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a wellness center, an on-site barber and beauty shop, a movie room, high-speed internet, communal gardens, and regularly scheduled religious services. Scheduled transportation takes residents to medical appointments, local shopping, and community events. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
