Hayesville House is a dedicated memory care community prepared to manage a broad range of cognitive and medical needs. In addition to structured dementia programming, the staff can safely accommodate residents who wander during the day or night, those at risk for elopement, and individuals who stay awake through the night. Clinical oversight extends to wound care, oxygen therapy, special diets, younger residents under 60, and the full spectrum of diabetic management, including oral medications, injections, and sliding-scale insulin. The community also accepts residents living with advanced dementia conditions.
Round-the-clock support is delivered by registered and licensed nurses, an awake night shift, and an on-site activity director. The building is staffed and secured 24 hours a day, outfitted with door alarms and in-room pull cords that alert caregivers. Residents who need full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, or toileting receive hands-on help, and transfer support ranges from standby supervision to one- or two-person physical transfers, accommodating walkers and wheelchairs.
Living accommodations include furnished suites equipped with private bathrooms, independent temperature controls, cable availability, and regular housekeeping with scheduled laundry services. Some apartments allow personal paint colors or other decorating choices, but not every unit offers every feature, so families should verify specifics during a tour.
Dining services supply three balanced meals plus snacks, and the kitchen can prepare mechanical-chopped, puréed, or thickened-liquid textures to meet physician orders. Special diets prescribed for diabetes, cardiac health, or other conditions are coordinated with nursing to ensure consistency between care plans and meal delivery.
Residents have access to wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, internet connectivity, on-site religious services, a small library, and scheduled transportation for medical appointments. A community shuttle is available for these outings, helping residents keep external healthcare commitments without arranging private transport.
