Falmouth House at Ocean View provides assisted living with a focus on residents who need consistent medical oversight. The community can accommodate individuals who wander during the day or night, require elopement precautions, stay up all night, or live with advanced dementia. Licensed staff manage wound care, oxygen therapy, special diets, and diabetes care whether the resident is on oral medication, insulin injections, or a sliding-scale regimen. The team also supports adults under 60 who need an assisted living setting.
Around-the-clock care is backed by an RN or LPN on site 24 hours a day, with an awake night shift and additional security features such as background-checked staff, door alarms, pull cords, and PERS alert systems. Podiatry services come to the building, reducing the need for outside appointments. Caregivers can provide full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and they are trained in every level of transfer support from standby assistance to a full Hoyer lift for bed-bound residents.
Apartments vary, but many offer a private bathroom, kitchenette, independent temperature controls, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate the space. Not every unit includes every feature, so it is useful to confirm specific details during a tour. Routine housekeeping and laundry are handled by staff to keep personal areas clean and comfortable.
Meals are served three times a day with a set menu, but residents can also order select alternatives. Snacks are available between meals, and the kitchen manages physician-ordered diets such as low-sodium, diabetic, or other therapeutic plans. For those living independently elsewhere on the Ocean View campus, services include weekly housekeeping, personal laundry, and a monthly meal plan that can be taken in the main dining room or packaged to go.
Residents have access to on-site parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, exercise and movie rooms, a wellness center, internet service, communal gardens, on-site religious services, a library, cozy sitting areas, a private courtyard with walking paths, and cocktails by the fireplace. Mail and newspaper delivery are handled daily, and scheduled transportation helps with shopping and appointments. Smoking is allowed only in designated outdoor areas, 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.
