The Clare Estate provides both Assisted Living and Independent Living, allowing residents to receive only the support they require while maintaining as much self-direction as possible. On-site medical resources include 12- to 16-hour licensed nursing coverage, medication management, incontinence and ambulatory care, memory care for moderate dementia, and hospice coordination when needed. Residents who manage diabetes with oral medication have monitoring and guidance available, and therapy services—occupational, physical, and podiatry—are scheduled in the building so residents do not have to leave the campus for routine treatment.
Staffing is structured for predictable access to help at any hour. A registered or licensed practical nurse is on staff, a nurse is on call around the clock, and the night shift remains awake. The building is door-alarmed, pull-cords alert staff, and security personnel are present 24/7. Support with daily tasks is offered at clearly defined levels: full assistance for bathing, dressing, and toileting, some physical help with eating, and standby or hands-on help for transfers involving walkers and wheelchairs. An activity director coordinates daily programming that aligns with residents’ care plans.
Apartments vary in layout and may include kitchenettes, cable, phone service, and Wi-Fi. Wheelchair-accessible showers and other handicap-friendly features are available in select units, and cats are permitted in designated accommodations. Residents can use parking spaces if they still drive and can relax in outdoor areas or the library and computer lounge. Not all apartments contain every listed feature, so prospective residents should confirm specific details during a tour.
Meals are prepared on site and served three times daily, with an all-day dining option for residents who prefer flexible schedules. Specialized menus address low- or no-sodium and no-sugar requirements without adding extra cost. Staff monitor nutritional intake for residents who need oversight and can provide some assistance with eating to ensure safe and adequate consumption.
Daily life is supplemented by indoor and outdoor walking paths, an activity center, organized social outings, clubs, community events, holiday parties, happy hours, and seasonal use of a swimming pool. These amenities are designed to keep residents engaged and active without leaving the property, giving families confidence that social needs are met alongside medical and personal care.
