Arlington Place at Grundy Center is licensed for assisted living and is prepared to support residents who need help with daily tasks while maintaining as much independence as possible. The community accepts short-term or respite stays, giving families a temporary break or providing a safe place for recovery after an illness. Diabetes management is available, including monitoring and assistance with insulin, and a speech therapist can be scheduled for residents who need help with communication or swallowing concerns.
Additional clinical support is delivered inside a secured community that reduces the risk of wandering and enhances overall safety. On-site services include medication management, incontinence care, ambulatory assistance, and hospice coordination for end-of-life comfort. A registered nurse oversees health plans, and residents have access to physical, occupational, and massage therapists as well as a podiatrist. Specialized programming and layouts are designed to accommodate memory loss, and a dedicated memory-care wing is available for those who require a higher level of cognitive support.
Apartments are private and can be personalized with furniture and décor. Some units offer kitchenettes, wheelchair-accessible showers, and handicap-friendly layouts, while others provide more basic configurations, so prospective residents should confirm specific features during a tour. Pet-friendly policies allow many residents to bring a small companion, and most units include individual climate control, cable or satellite TV connections, and Wi-Fi. Common spaces feature a central fireplace, a piano or organ for group gatherings, landscaped outdoor areas, and on-site parking.
Dining is included in the monthly rate, with three daily meals prepared to accommodate common dietary requests such as vegetarian, gluten-free, no-sugar, or low-sodium choices. All-day dining allows residents to pick alternate mealtimes when needed, and guest meals can be arranged for visiting family or friends.
Residents can participate in clubs and social communities, use the library and computer lounge, and join events in the activity center. Indoor and outdoor walking paths, raised garden beds, sanctioned social outings, happy hour gatherings, reminiscence and intergenerational programs, birthday celebrations, dances, and live-music events round out the activity calendar, giving residents multiple ways to stay engaged throughout the week.
