Tanglewood Assisted Living in Fenton offers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, with programming structured to support residents who wander, attempt elopement, or display combative or other behavioral issues. The care team is trained to manage residents who stay up all night, require wound care, use oxygen, follow special diets, or are younger than 60. Diabetes management is available for residents on oral medications, injections, or sliding-scale insulin, and the community is able to sustain residents living with advanced dementia conditions.
Clinical oversight includes an RN or LPN on site and a nurse on call 24 hours a day. All employees undergo background checks, and an awake night shift complements 24-hour security staff, door alarms, wander guards, and a PERS system that alerts staff to emergencies. A podiatrist visits on site. Caregivers can provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Mobility support ranges from simple standby with a walker to one- or two-person transfers, full Hoyer lift transfers, and services for bed-bound residents. An activity director coordinates therapeutic and social programs throughout the day.
Private and semi-private rooms are available; some include cable service, while housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are provided for all residents. Because floor plans vary, not every accommodation includes every feature, so prospective residents should confirm room specifics during a tour.
Dining offers a set menu along with an on-order option at each meal. Snacks are available throughout the day, and residents may request in-room service or reserve the private dining room for guests. The kitchen team prepares modified textures—including mechanical-chop, purée, and thickened-liquid diets—and follows physician-ordered dietary restrictions.
Residents have access to parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, internet connectivity, communal gardens, on-site religious services, a library, special-interest clubs, and scheduled transportation for appointments and outings.
