Care One At Ridgewood Avenue delivers licensed nursing-home care designed for adults who need round-the-clock clinical oversight. Skilled nurses and certified aides are on duty 24 hours a day to handle medication regimens, chronic disease monitoring, wound management, and post-surgical recovery needs. Short-stay respite care is also available, offering families temporary relief while ensuring that the visiting resident receives the same nursing attention and safety protocols as long-term residents.
Beyond direct nursing services, residents have access to on-site rehabilitation that includes physical, occupational, and speech therapies ordered by physicians. The community coordinates laboratory work, X-ray services, and specialized consults, minimizing the need for outside appointments. Care plans are reviewed regularly by an interdisciplinary team that can adjust treatment goals, address changes in health status, and arrange for palliative or hospice support if required.
Private and semi-private rooms are offered, each designed to accommodate essential medical equipment while providing personal living space. Many rooms are equipped with a phone so residents can stay in contact with family, though not all accommodations include every feature and availability can vary. Housekeeping and laundry services are provided to keep rooms clean and linens fresh, and maintenance staff handle routine repairs.
Daily dining includes three nutritionally balanced meals prepared on-site, with menus overseen by dietitians to meet therapeutic and standard dietary requirements. Meals are served in a central dining room that encourages social interaction, and snacks are available between meals for residents who need additional caloric intake. Not all accommodations offer the same dining-related conveniences, so it is advisable to confirm room-specific options during a tour.
Residents have use of an activity center that hosts exercise classes, arts projects, and social events suited to varying mobility levels. A library and computer lounge provides access to books, periodicals, and internet-enabled workstations, offering quiet space for reading or staying connected online.
