Academy House Residential Care Homes – Harvard House delivers assisted-living services that center on basic and advanced medical support. Residents receive help with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, and mobility, along with scheduled medication administration and monitoring. The community coordinates directly with physicians, pharmacies, and home health agencies to ensure care plans remain up to date. On-site staff are trained to respond to changes in condition, schedule follow-up appointments, and arrange transportation for external medical visits when needed.
Beyond the core medical attention, the community integrates wellness features that support residents’ overall stability and safety. A 24-hour staffing model means someone is always available to address urgent needs or monitor residents who require closer observation. Emergency call systems are installed in living areas, and staff conduct routine safety checks throughout the day. Therapy providers, including physical, occupational, and speech therapists, visit the property by appointment, and care staff follow therapist-recommended exercises between sessions. Regular vitals tracking, fall-prevention reviews, and assistance with chronic disease management round out the service mix.
Private and companion suites are available, each equipped with individual climate controls, accessible bathrooms, and basic cable hookups. Select units add kitchenettes and walk-in showers, while some include patios or extra storage, but not all accommodations have all the features. Housekeeping, linen service, and maintenance are handled by staff to minimize resident responsibilities, and common lounges and outdoor spaces are open for social use during the day.
Dining is provided through three daily meals plus snacks, all prepared in the on-site kitchen under the guidance of dietary staff. Menus feature standard fare with options for modified textures, restricted sodium, or diabetic considerations as prescribed. Table service allows caregivers to monitor intake and provide prompting or assistance when necessary. Residents can request alternate dishes, and family members may coordinate special event meals with the culinary team.
