Home of the Good Shepherd in Wilton is licensed for Assisted Living and is equipped to manage a wide range of health needs. Residents can receive wound care, oxygen therapy, and dietary oversight that covers special diets as well as diabetic management for those on oral medications, injections, or sliding-scale insulin. The community also accepts individuals living with moderate dementia, providing structured support to help maintain safety and daily function.
Continuous clinical oversight is built into the daily routine. A registered or licensed practical nurse is on site around the clock, with an additional nurse on call 24/7. Caregivers stay awake through the night, and all staff have passed background checks. Emergency pull cords and personal emergency response systems alert staff, while security personnel remain on duty at all hours. On-site services include nursing, physical and occupational therapy, podiatry, medication management, incontinence and ambulatory care, and hospice coordination. Direct assistance is available for bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and the team can accommodate residents who require a walker, a one-person assist, or a two-person transfer.
Apartments are designed for practicality and comfort. Depending on the unit selected, residents may have a private bathroom, independent temperature controls, or cable service; not every room includes every feature, so prospective residents should confirm specifics during a tour. Maintenance and housekeeping are provided, and staff handle linen changes and laundry to keep living spaces orderly.
Dining is managed by an on-site culinary team that prepares three daily meals. A set menu is offered, but residents can place on-order requests within posted hours, and snacks are available between meals. The kitchen accommodates physician-ordered diet modifications including low-sugar, low-sodium, and texture-adjusted meals, ensuring nutritional needs are met without compromising medical guidelines.
Daily life is supplemented by resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, an exercise room, a movie room, and a wellness center. High-speed internet access helps residents stay connected, and scheduled transportation is available for medical appointments and local errands.
