Hometown Manor of Shelbyville offers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, allowing residents to remain on the same campus even if their needs change. The community accepts individuals who wander during the day or night, those at risk of elopement, residents who stay up all night, and people who require supplemental oxygen. It is also open to adults under 60 and to diabetics who manage their condition with oral medication. The team is experienced in supporting moderate dementia and provides structured programming to address cognitive changes.
Staffing and safety measures are designed to meet medical needs around the clock. A nurse is on call 24 hours a day, and all employees undergo background checks. Caregivers work awake overnight, and the building is equipped with door alarms, WanderGuard technology, pull cords, and personal emergency response systems that alert staff. The community accepts residents with psychiatric conditions and can assist with bathing, dressing, and toileting when some physical help is needed; eating is generally self-directed. Transfers with a walker are accommodated, and an on-site activity director plans daily engagement.
Apartments may include a private bathroom, furnishings, independent temperature controls, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate; however, not every unit offers every feature. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry are provided, so residents do not need to manage those tasks themselves.
Meals are available from a set menu or can be ordered individually, and snacks are offered throughout the day. The kitchen can modify or manage diets to align with physician recommendations, helping residents keep medical conditions in check.
Residents have access to parking, outdoor smoking areas, a barber and beauty shop, internet service, on-site religious gatherings, and nearby public transportation. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
