Autumn Pointe in Fort Calhoun is an assisted-living community prepared to handle a range of medical needs. The team supports residents who use oxygen, live with diabetes managed by either oral medications or insulin injections, and individuals younger than 60 who require an assisted-living setting. Care plans can also accommodate moderate dementia, allowing residents with memory challenges to remain in a familiar environment rather than transition to a more restrictive level of care.
Additional safeguards reinforce that medical support. A registered nurse or licensed practical nurse is on staff, and a nurse is on call around the clock. All employees undergo background checks, the night shift remains awake, and the building is staffed and secured 24 hours a day with door alarms, a wander-guard system, in-room pull cords, and personal emergency response systems that alert staff. On-site podiatry visits reduce the need for outside appointments. Staff can provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and they are trained to perform standby, one-person, walker, or wheelchair transfers. An activity director keeps residents engaged while care is delivered.
Apartments are designed for practicality and ease of use. Some residences include a private bathroom, a kitchenette, independent temperature controls, and the option for residents to paint or decorate the room to their preference, though not every unit includes every feature. Maintenance and housekeeping services are available to help residents keep their living space safe and orderly.
Dining follows a set menu that meets nutritional guidelines, and snacks are available between meals. Staff monitor dietary needs related to diabetes or other conditions and provide assistance for those who require help eating. Mealtimes are scheduled, allowing medication management and glucose monitoring to stay on track.
Residents have access to on-site parking, outdoor smoking areas, wheelchair-accessible common spaces, a barber and beauty shop, an exercise room, internet service, regularly scheduled religious services, and community transportation for errands and medical appointments.
