The Residence At Penniman Hill delivers assisted-living services designed to support older adults who need help with everyday tasks while maintaining as much independence as possible. Licensed nurses oversee medication management, routine vital-sign monitoring, and coordination of care plans in consultation with each resident’s physician. Certified caregivers are on duty around the clock to assist with bathing, dressing, mobility, and continence needs, and an emergency call system in every apartment links residents directly to staff at any hour. Scheduled transportation to medical appointments is available, and the community arranges on-site visits from primary-care doctors, rehabilitation therapists, and other health professionals as needed.
Additional care features include regular fall-risk assessments, individualized exercise programs supervised by wellness staff, and organized health education sessions that address chronic-disease management and preventive care. The team keeps detailed electronic health records to track changes in condition and communicates promptly with families and outside providers. A daily safety check is standard, and residents who experience a temporary illness can receive in-apartment meal delivery and intensified monitoring until they recover. Housekeeping personnel follow infection-control protocols aligned with state guidelines, and backup power systems help ensure that medical equipment remains operational during an outage.
Accommodations range from studio layouts to one- and two-bedroom apartments. Each unit is equipped with a private bathroom outfitted with grab bars, an emergency pull cord, individual climate controls, and cable and internet connections; some floor plans add kitchenettes, walk-in closets, or balconies, but not every apartment includes all of these features. Weekly housekeeping, linen service, and maintenance are part of the standard package, and laundry facilities are located on each residential floor for residents who prefer to do personal wash on their own. Wide corridors, elevator access, and barrier-free showers support individuals who use mobility aids.
Dining services provide three meals a day in a central restaurant-style venue where waitstaff take orders from a rotating menu that always includes heart-healthy, vegetarian, and reduced-sodium choices. A registered dietitian reviews menus to help meet medical dietary requirements such as diabetic or renal restrictions, and snacks are available throughout the day in common areas. Residents may request tray service to their apartment if they are under the weather or simply wish to dine privately, although this option is not included in every meal plan. Family members can reserve a private room for celebrations, and cooking demonstrations encourage residents to discuss nutrition goals with culinary staff.
