Standish Home For The Elderly operates as both an assisted-living residence and a licensed residential care home, giving families two levels of support within one setting. Around-the-clock staff monitor residents and are trained to provide wound care, oxygen management, and blood-sugar support for diabetics using oral medication, injections, or sliding-scale protocols. The team also stays awake through the night to respond to urgent needs and oversees nutrition plans for special diets, all while maintaining a calm environment for individuals in the early stages of dementia.
Daily care needs are met with full assistance for bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Residents who use walkers or wheelchairs receive help ranging from standby oversight to hands-on one-person or two-person transfers, with provisions in place for those who are bed-bound. Continuous security checks and on-site staff coverage ensure that help is available at any hour.
Accommodations include furnished rooms, basic housekeeping, and scheduled laundry services, though availability of each feature can vary by unit. Families can choose from layouts that best fit personal belongings and mobility equipment, and maintenance staff handle routine upkeep.
Meals follow a set menu prepared to meet physician-ordered diet modifications. The kitchen is equipped to serve gluten-free, vegetarian, mechanical-chopped, puréed, or thickened-liquid options, and snacks are stocked for residents who need between-meal calories or supplemental nutrition.
Common areas are wheelchair accessible, and residents can stay connected through community-provided internet access.
