Greystone Farm at Salem provides both Assisted Living and Memory Care, enabling residents to transition smoothly as care needs change. The community is prepared to manage wandering at any time of day, exit-seeking and elopement risks, combative or other behavioral issues, disrupted sleep patterns, wound care, oxygen therapy, special diets, diabetes managed by oral medication or injections, and residents younger than sixty. Staff are trained and equipped to support advanced dementia conditions, so families do not need to seek another setting as cognition declines.
A registered nurse or licensed practical nurse is on site around the clock, with additional nursing support on call. Caregivers remain awake overnight, and background-screened staff monitor alarmed doors and a fenced rear area. Residents can summon help through pull cords or personal emergency response systems. On-site podiatry, audiology, dental services, and a dedicated therapy room reduce the need for off-site appointments. Assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting is available up to full dependence, and the team can perform walker and wheelchair transfers, standby or one-person assists, two-person transfers, and full mechanical (Hoyer lift) transfers.
Apartments vary in size and layout, and not every unit includes every feature, but options may include a private bathroom, kitchenette, independent temperature controls, and cable service. Residents are encouraged to paint or decorate their rooms to feel at home. Weekly housekeeping and scheduled laundry are standard, and maintenance handles routine repairs. Independent Living residents benefit from medication-management monitoring, housekeeping, and laundry services while enjoying a lighter level of oversight.
Meals are prepared from a set menu with the option to order alternate selections at each sitting. The culinary staff can accommodate mechanical-chopped or pureed textures, thickened liquids, vegetarian preferences, and other physician-ordered diet modifications. A private dining room is available for family gatherings, and snacks are stocked throughout the day for residents who prefer small meals or late-night nourishment.
Amenities include resident parking, exterior smoking areas, wheelchair-accessible common spaces, and a barber/beauty shop. A wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, on-site religious services, concierge support, library, clubs, and scheduled transportation—plus proximity to public transit—offer varied ways to stay active and engaged. Small pets are welcome; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
