Gates Home operates as a residential care home and is equipped to handle a broad range of medical needs. The team is trained to support residents who wander or attempt to elope, display combative or other behavioral issues, remain awake throughout the night, require wound care, oxygen therapy, or follow special diets. The home accepts adults under 60 and accommodates all categories of diabetes management, including oral medication, insulin injections, and sliding-scale dosing. Staff members have experience with advanced dementia conditions, so residents with significant cognitive decline can remain in place as their needs change.
Daily oversight is supported by background-checked employees, an awake night shift, and 24-hour staffing with continual security presence. A podiatrist visits on site, reducing the need for off-property appointments related to foot and ankle care. Direct assistance is offered for bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, with each task provided at the full-assistance level when required. Mobility help ranges from standby supervision for walker users to one-person and two-person transfers, full transfers with a Hoyer lift, and care for residents who are bed bound.
Private and semi-private rooms are available, and each living space may include cable service and regular housekeeping, though not every unit has identical features. Furnishings are arranged for ease of movement and can be adapted to accommodate mobility equipment approved in the resident’s care plan.
Dining follows a set menu prepared on site, and the kitchen works closely with clinical staff to serve physician-ordered special diets, including carbohydrate-controlled meals for diabetes and texture modifications as needed. Meal times are structured to support consistent blood-sugar management and to reduce confusion for memory-impaired residents.
Residents can take part in organized on-site activities designed to encourage social interaction and cognitive engagement, and transportation is arranged for devotional activities held off site for those who wish to attend.
