Garrison Estates II operates as a licensed Residential Care Home that emphasizes comprehensive medical oversight. The team is trained to manage residents who wander or attempt to elope, exhibit combative or other behavioral challenges, stay awake throughout the night, or require specialized wound care. Clinical protocols accommodate oxygen therapy, special diets, and the full spectrum of diabetes management, from oral medications to injections and sliding-scale regimens. Younger adults under 60 and individuals living with advanced dementia diagnoses are accepted, and the community’s policies allow for ongoing psychiatric support when needed.
Clinical staffing and safety measures reinforce this medical focus. An RN or LPN is on staff, with a nurse on call around the clock, while an awake night shift and 24-hour security team monitor all areas. Entryways are door-alarmed, and every employee undergoes background checks before hire. The care team is prepared to provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and can accommodate transfer needs ranging from standby help to two-person lifts for wheelchair users. These layers of support help maintain continuity of care even as resident needs evolve.
Private and semi-private rooms are available; most arrive fully furnished, though families may request to paint or redecorate for a personal touch. Cable service is offered in many—but not all—rooms, so it’s best to confirm availability during a tour. Communal areas and resident rooms are designed for easy mobility, and housekeeping, linen service, and routine maintenance are built into the monthly fee.
Meals follow a set menu prepared on site, with snacks accessible throughout the day and staff able to implement physician-ordered diet modifications such as low-sodium, diabetic-friendly, or texture-altered plans. Independent Living participants can opt into medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, personal laundry service, and a monthly meal package that grants access to the same dining program enjoyed by assisted-living residents.
Amenities include resident parking, outdoor smoking areas, high-speed internet access, scheduled transportation for appointments and errands, and proximity to public bus lines for those who prefer to travel independently.
