Susan S. Bailis Assisted Living offers a single level of care—Assisted Living—designed to help residents who need daily oversight while still maintaining a measure of independence. The community can support residents managing diabetes controlled with oral medications and those living with mild dementia. Care plans are individualized, and medication administration is managed by licensed professionals to ensure accurate dosing and monitoring.
Registered and licensed nurses are on staff, with a nurse on call 24 hours a day for urgent needs. All employees undergo background checks, and an awake night shift ensures continuous observation. Residents benefit from personal emergency response systems that can contact 911 and alert on-site staff. A podiatrist visits the community regularly for routine foot care. Assistance with daily activities covers bathing, dressing, and toileting when some physical help is required, while eating support is provided through standby supervision. Mobility assistance ranges from basic standby help to one-person transfers, and staff are trained to work with walkers and wheelchairs.
Apartments vary and may include private bathrooms, kitchenettes, furnishings, independent temperature controls, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate the living space; not every unit includes every feature. Residents choose the layout that best matches their preferences and budget, knowing maintenance and utilities are handled by the community.
Meals follow a set menu prepared by the culinary team, with snacks available throughout the day and accommodations for dietary restrictions or physician-ordered modifications. Independent Living residents who opt for medication-management monitoring receive scheduled check-ins from nursing staff to ensure adherence to prescribed regimens while otherwise living a largely self-directed lifestyle.
Amenities and convenience services include resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, an on-site barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, internet access, and communal gardens. Planned transportation is provided, and the building is near public transit for added flexibility. Smoking is permitted outside, 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.
