AlfredHouse Andrus provides Assisted Living, Residential Care Home, and Memory Care services under one roof, allowing residents to remain in place as needs change. The community accepts individuals who wander during the day or night, have a history of elopement, exhibit combative or other behavioral issues, stay up all night, or require wound care, oxygen management, or specialized diets. Residents under 60 years old are accepted, and full diabetic support is offered, including oral medications, insulin injections, and sliding-scale monitoring. Care teams are trained to work with advanced dementia and other complex conditions, ensuring residents with significant cognitive decline receive appropriate supervision and therapeutic engagement.
Clinical oversight is strengthened by an RN or LPN on staff and a nurse on call 24 hours a day. Background-checked caregivers cover awake and asleep night shifts, and an activity director coordinates daily programming. Safety measures include fenced front and rear yards, alarmed doors, wander guards, pull-cord systems that alert staff or call 911, and personal emergency response systems with both staff and 911 notification options. On-site podiatry, audiology, dental, and psychiatric services are available, and a dedicated therapy room supports rehabilitation. The team can provide full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and they accommodate mobility needs ranging from supervision with a walker to two-person transfers, Hoyer lift use, and care for bed-bound residents.
Accommodations include furnished or unfurnished rooms, some with private bathrooms, where residents may paint or decorate to personalize their space. Cable, housekeeping, and scheduled laundry services are offered, but not every room includes every feature, so families should confirm availability during a tour.
Dining options cover set menus, on-order selections, and snacks throughout the day, with in-room service or a private dining room for family visits. The kitchen can manage gluten-free, mechanical-chopped, puréed, thickened-liquid, vegetarian, and other physician-ordered diets, emphasizing consistency with each resident’s care plan.
Amenities include resident parking, outdoor smoking areas, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber/beauty shop, exercise room, internet access, communal gardens, on-site religious services, stair glide, library, special-interest clubs, and transportation limited to medical appointments via a shuttle. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
