Arbor Terrace Shrewsbury delivers Assisted Living that can accommodate residents with a wide range of clinical profiles, including individuals who wander at any time of day, present elopement risk, display combative or other behavioral challenges, stay up all night, rely on oxygen, follow special diets, or manage diabetes with oral medications, injections, or sliding-scale protocols. The community is also equipped to support residents who live with advanced dementia conditions, providing continuity of care as needs change.
Care is reinforced by an RN or LPN on staff, a nurse on call 24 hours a day, and an awake night shift. All employees undergo background checks, and the building uses a pull-cord and personal emergency response system to alert staff. Safety features include a fenced rear area. Licensed podiatry and dental professionals visit the community, and a dedicated therapy room is available for rehabilitation. Full assistance is offered with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and staff can manage mobility using walkers, wheelchairs, standby help, one-person transfers, or two-person transfers as appropriate.
Apartments are designed for varying preferences. Some units provide a private bathroom, a kitchenette, independent temperature controls, and cable service, while others offer a more streamlined layout; residents can paint or decorate their rooms subject to community guidelines. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are included, reducing daily chores and allowing residents to focus on activities and social engagement.
Dining is structured to respect both routine and choice. A set menu is served daily, and an on-order option lets residents select alternatives at mealtimes. Snacks are stocked and available throughout the day. The culinary team manages diet modifications, including diabetic, low-sodium, and other physician-prescribed plans, to align with each resident’s care plan.
Residents have access to on-site parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, and scheduled transportation for appointments and errands. Additional amenities include a barber and beauty shop, movie room, wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, on-site religious services, and a library. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Outdoor smoking is permitted in designated areas, supporting varied lifestyle preferences.
