Balmaine Manor operates as a Residential Care Home and is equipped to handle a broad set of medical needs. The team supports residents who wander or elope, those with behavioral issues, individuals who are up all night, and people living with advanced dementia. Clinical services extend to wound care, oxygen management, and complex diabetic care, including oral medications, insulin injections, and sliding-scale protocols. Residents under 60 are accepted, and special diets are accommodated.
Around-the-clock oversight is built into the community’s structure. An RN or LPN is on site, with a nurse on call 24 hours a day. Staff members work awake overnight shifts, all employees undergo background checks, and the building maintains door alarms, a fenced rear area, and continuous security presence. The home also accepts residents with psychiatric diagnoses. Full assistance is available for bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. Transfer options range from simple standby support to two-person and Hoyer lift transfers, including care for bed-bound residents.
Rooms are offered furnished, and residents may paint or decorate their space and arrange for cable service, though not every accommodation contains every feature. Meals follow a set menu prepared to meet physician-ordered diet modifications, and snacks are available throughout the day. For those in Independent Living, the community can layer on medication management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, and laundry services.
Dining is conducted in a common area with staff oversight to ensure adherence to prescribed diets such as low-sodium, diabetic, or mechanical-soft. Assistance is provided for residents who need help cutting food or maintaining adequate intake. The kitchen team coordinates closely with clinical staff to match nutritional plans to each resident’s medical profile.
Resident parking is available, the building is wheelchair accessible, and common areas have internet access. A stair glide provides safe movement between floors, and scheduled transportation is offered for medical appointments and local errands. The property is also close to public transportation for residents and visitors who prefer that option.
