Independence House – Coddington is a dedicated Memory Care community equipped to handle the full spectrum of dementia‐related needs, including residents who wander at any time of day, present elopement risk, express combative or other behavioral issues, stay up through the night, or require oxygen therapy. Staff manage special diets and provide diabetic care at every level—oral medications, insulin injections, or sliding scale regimens—and the community accepts residents under 60 when appropriate. Bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting can all be delivered with full assistance. Mobility help ranges from simple standby support to one- or two-person transfers, wheelchair use, walker support, and care for bed-bound individuals.
An RN or LPN is on site, with a nurse on call around the clock. Team members work awake night shifts, and every employee passes background screening. Safety features include alarmed doors, a fenced rear area, and personal emergency response systems that alert staff. The community’s activity director plans structured programs suited to residents with advanced dementia, and on-site podiatry is available. Independence House – Coddington also accepts residents with psychiatric diagnoses, coordinating with outside providers as needed.
Private rooms are offered and many include an in-room bathroom, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate. Because layouts vary, not every accommodation has each feature, so prospective residents should verify specifics during a visit.
Meals follow a set menu prepared to meet physician-ordered or preference-based diet modifications, including low-sodium, diabetic, and texture-altered plans. Snacks are available between meals, and staff provide full dining assistance when required, making sure residents maintain adequate nutrition and hydration.
The property is wheelchair accessible and provides an in-house barber and beauty shop, a movie room, internet access, communal gardens, and regular on-site religious services. Scheduled transportation helps residents reach medical appointments and community outings.
