Hometown Manor of Russellville is an assisted-living community that concentrates on practical, day-to-day medical support. Staff members are trained to assist residents who use supplemental oxygen, adults younger than 60 who need an assisted-living setting, and diabetics who manage their condition with oral medications. The community also admits individuals with mild dementia, providing a structured environment without overstating its memory-care scope. A registered nurse or licensed practical nurse is on staff, and a nurse remains on call around the clock to address health questions and emerging issues.
Residents have access to pull-cord alert systems and personal emergency response systems that immediately notify staff, including an awake night-shift team, if help is needed. Background checks are performed on all employees. On-site podiatry visits reduce the need for outside trips for routine foot care. Daily living assistance is available on a standby basis for bathing, dressing, and toileting; residents who can feed themselves maintain that independence. Those who ambulate with a walker receive support with transfers, ensuring stable movement between bed, chair, and bathroom. An activity director organizes programs designed to keep residents engaged mentally and socially.
Apartments are offered in several layouts, and not every unit includes every feature. Available options can include a private bathroom, kitchenette, furnished living area, independent temperature controls, cable service, and the ability for residents to paint or decorate their rooms. Weekly housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are provided. For residents living independently on campus, medication-management monitoring, housekeeping, and laundry are also available, bridging the gap between independent living and assisted living without requiring a move.
Dining services balance structure with flexibility. Three daily meals are available on either a set menu or made-to-order basis, and snacks can be picked up throughout the day. The kitchen honors physician-ordered diet modifications and other nutritional preferences, adjusting carbohydrate counts for diabetics or reducing sodium as needed.
Amenities are designed to cover daily conveniences. Resident parking is available, smoking is permitted outdoors only, and pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. A barber and beauty shop, internet access, on-site religious services, medication reminders, scheduled transportation, and proximity to public transit round out the list of practical services.
