NorthRidge Place Senior Living in Lebanon, Missouri, offers assisted living designed for residents who need help with activities of daily living but do not require the intensity of a nursing home. A licensed nurse oversees care planning, medication administration, and routine health monitoring, and direct-care staff remain on duty around the clock to respond to emergencies. The community coordinates with outside physicians, pharmacies, and therapy providers, ensuring residents receive laboratory work, rehabilitation services, and other medical interventions without unnecessary transfers. Scheduled health assessments help the team adjust support levels as conditions change, and pendant or pull-cord emergency call systems connect residents to staff within moments.
Beyond core medical services, NorthRidge Place includes features that support well-being and safety. Personal care aides assist with bathing, dressing, grooming, and mobility, while housekeeping and laundry services reduce physical strain on residents. On-site wellness and exercise programs promote strength and balance, and transportation is arranged for off-site medical appointments. Staff conduct daily check-ins to monitor nutritional intake and overall condition, and fall-prevention measures such as grab bars and non-slip flooring are standard in shared areas. Family members receive regular updates and can access care conferences to remain informed about changing needs.
Accommodations include studio and one-bedroom apartments equipped with step-in showers, individual climate controls, and basic kitchenettes; some units add features such as patios, walk-in closets, or additional living space, but not every apartment offers all these options. An emergency response system links each unit to the care team, and weekly housekeeping, linen service, maintenance, and all utilities except personal phone are included in the monthly fee. Residents can furnish and decorate their apartments to their preference, and small pets may be permitted according to community policy.
The culinary program provides three daily meals prepared on site and served in a central dining room, with menus reviewed by a dietitian to meet nutritional guidelines. Special diets such as low-sodium, diabetic, and mechanical-soft are accommodated, and alternatives are available at each meal for residents with personal preferences. Snacks and beverages are accessible throughout the day, and residents can request in-room tray service during illness or recovery. Family members are welcome to join meals for an additional charge, and regular feedback sessions help the kitchen adjust offerings to resident input.
