Ameristar Assisted Living, Inc III operates both as an assisted living residence and as a residential care home, allowing it to serve seniors with a wide range of medical needs. The team is prepared to manage residents who wander during the day or night, show behavioral issues, stay up all night, or live with advanced dementia. Clinical oversight covers wound care, oxygen therapy, and specialized diets, including support for diabetics whether on oral medication, injections, or sliding-scale insulin.
Registered nurses and licensed practical nurses are on the staff roster, and a nurse is on call around the clock. Caregivers stay awake through the night, and all employees complete background checks. Security measures include 24-hour staffing, an alarmed exit system, and a fenced rear area to help prevent elopement. The community brings in podiatry services on site and supplies full assistance with bathing, dressing, and toileting, plus standby help with eating. Transfer help ranges from walker or wheelchair support to one-person, two-person, or full Hoyer lift transfers, so even bed-bound residents can be accommodated.
Rooms are available in several layouts, some with private bathrooms, some furnished, and some pre-wired for cable. Because not every accommodation includes every feature, prospective residents should confirm specific room details during a visit.
Meals follow a set menu, and staff members monitor diet modifications to ensure compliance with physician orders, including diabetic, low-sodium, or other therapeutic plans. Snacks are on hand between meals so residents can maintain their preferred eating schedule without jeopardizing blood-sugar control or other dietary goals.
The building is wheelchair accessible throughout and offers internet access for residents who wish to stay online. The property sits close to public transportation, which can simplify family visits and medical appointments outside the community.
