Waltonwood at University offers both Assisted Living and Independent Living. Residents who need medical oversight can receive support for oxygen therapy as well as comprehensive diabetic management, including oral medications, insulin injections and sliding-scale coverage. Staff are also prepared to help individuals who present with mild dementia, providing supervision that balances safety with autonomy.
Registered and licensed nurses are on site, backed by a 24-hour nurse on call, and every team member undergoes background checks. Personal Emergency Response Systems alert staff at any hour, doorways are alarmed, and security personnel remain on duty around the clock. Podiatry and dental providers visit regularly, and a dedicated therapy room is available for rehabilitation. Full assistance can be provided for bathing, dressing, eating and toileting. Mobility-related help ranges from standby supervision to one- or two-person transfers and full Hoyer-lift support, accommodating residents who use walkers or wheelchairs.
Accommodation choices may include a private bathroom, kitchenette, independent temperature controls, in-unit laundry, cable service and the option to paint or decorate the room; not every apartment contains every feature, so it is best to confirm availability during a tour. Standard housekeeping is provided, and Independent Living residents can enroll in medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping and laundry services.
Meals are served from a set menu in the community dining room, with snacks available throughout the day and vegetarian selections offered at each sitting. A monthly meal plan is included for Independent Living residents, and a private dining room can be reserved for family gatherings.
Residents have access to on-site parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, an exercise room, movie room, game room, wellness center, beauty/barber shop and internet throughout the campus. Communal gardens, patio or balcony options, and scheduled on-site religious services are also available. Transportation is provided for outings, and the property is close to public transportation for those who prefer to travel independently. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
