Shields Comfort Care delivers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, with programming and staff training designed to support residents who live with moderate dementia. Care teams monitor and manage behaviors associated with wandering—day or night—elopement risk, and other cognitive changes. Medical oversight extends to complex needs such as wound care, oxygen therapy, and multiple diabetic regimens including oral medications, injections, and sliding-scale insulin. Residents who are awake throughout the night receive supervision and redirection, and the community adapts diets for special nutritional requirements.
A registered nurse or licensed practical nurse is on-site, backed by a 24-hour on-call nurse for urgent issues. All employees pass background checks, an awake night shift is standard, and personal emergency response systems alert staff instantly. Door alarms, 24-hour staffing, and dedicated security protocols reduce exit-seeking incidents. Podiatry services are provided on-site. For daily living, staff can perform full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and they handle mobility ranging from standby help with a walker to two-person or Hoyer-lift transfers for bed-bound residents. An activity director ensures engagement and structure throughout the day.
Residential layouts vary, offering rooms with or without private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, and cable service. Not every unit contains each of these features, so prospective residents should confirm which options are available when touring.
Meals feature both a set menu and an on-order selection, and the culinary team routinely modifies textures, portions, and ingredients to meet physician-ordered diets as well as individual preferences. Staff coordinate closely with nursing to align carbohydrate counts, consistent carbohydrate diets, low-sodium plans, or other medical nutrition therapies.
The campus is wheelchair accessible and includes a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, internet access, communal gardens, an on-site space for religious services, and a spa area. Scheduled transportation helps residents reach medical appointments, local shopping, and community events.
