Horizons, a DePaul Senior Living Community in Canandaigua, provides assisted-living care with an emphasis on clinical oversight. The community accepts residents for long-term stays as well as respite or short-term stays. Nursing staff coordinate diabetes management and arrange on-site podiatry visits, and a speech therapist is available for residents who need help with communication or swallowing issues. Staff are trained to support residents living with moderate dementia, offering structure and monitoring that align with each person’s cognitive abilities.
Safety and predictable daily help are built into the routine. All employees complete background checks, an awake night shift is on duty, and 24-hour staffing and security respond to pull-cord alerts in apartments. An activity director plans programs throughout the week. Personal care includes some assistance with bathing, dressing, and toileting, while residents who can feed themselves are encouraged to do so to maintain independence. Team members can provide standby or one-person transfers and are comfortable working with walkers and wheelchairs.
Private and companion apartments are available. Some apartments come furnished, and others allow residents to bring their own furniture; not every unit has the same features. Several floor plans include individual temperature controls, and many can be painted or decorated after move-in, subject to community guidelines and safety standards.
Meals are prepared on site and served in a common dining room, with staff able to adjust textures or portions as ordered by physicians. Scheduled mealtimes are supplemented by snacks that are available throughout the day, giving residents options for between-meal nutrition or managing blood-sugar levels.
Residents have access to on-site parking, a barber and beauty shop, building-wide internet, and concierge assistance for scheduling appointments or arranging transportation. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
