The Terraces at Lawrence offers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, allowing residents to remain in one community even as needs change. Clinical capabilities include elopement prevention for residents who wander, wound management, oxygen administration, and comprehensive dietary oversight for people requiring special menus. Diabetic residents are supported whether they rely on oral medications, injections, or sliding-scale insulin. The community also accepts residents with advanced dementia conditions, coordinating closely with families and physicians to ensure care plans stay current.
A registered nurse or licensed practical nurse is on-site around the clock, with an additional nurse on call 24 hours a day. All staff members undergo background checks, and an awake night shift ensures continuous supervision. Emergency response is enhanced by pull-cords and personal emergency response systems that alert staff immediately. On-site podiatry visits reduce the need for outside appointments. Caregivers can provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, and toileting, and can cue or offer some physical help during meals. Transfer support ranges from standby help with a walker to one-person or two-person lifts for wheelchair users.
Apartments are designed for comfort and safety. Some residences include private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate the space. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are provided for every unit, though not every apartment has every listed feature.
Dining follows a set menu that rotates regularly, with snacks available between meals. The kitchen can modify textures to mechanical chop, purée, or thickened liquids and can prepare vegetarian, gluten-free, or other physician-ordered diets to keep residents on track with their nutritional plans.
Residents have access to on-site parking, wheelchair-friendly common areas, a barber and beauty shop, movie room, wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, a library, and organized clubs. Religious services are held on site, and a concierge helps arrange transportation or coordinate trips using the community vehicle or nearby public transit. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
