Onslow House in Jacksonville, NC, operates as an assisted living community designed for residents who need daily support but do not require the intensity of a nursing home. Licensed nurses oversee care plans, monitor chronic conditions, coordinate with physicians, and manage medications. Staff members assist with activities of daily living such as bathing, grooming, and mobility while maintaining 24-hour coverage. Emergency response systems are in place throughout the residence, and regular wellness checks help detect any changes in condition promptly.

Beyond direct medical oversight, Onslow House provides ancillary health services that contribute to residents’ well-being. Physical, occupational, and speech therapies are available through on-site or contracted providers. The community arranges transportation to off-site medical appointments, and care conferences with family members ensure ongoing communication. A secured building layout and routine safety assessments add another layer of protection for residents who may be at risk of wandering or falls.

Residents choose from accommodations that can be furnished by the community or left unfurnished so personal furniture can be used. Floor plans vary, and some—but not all—include features such as access to a library and computer lounge or direct entry to landscaped outdoor areas. Housekeeping, laundry, and maintenance services are provided, freeing residents from routine chores.

Dining is structured for flexibility and dietary accuracy. All-day dining allows residents to eat on their own schedule, and menus are reviewed to accommodate physician-ordered or resident-requested special diets. The culinary staff works with dietitians to adjust portions, textures, and nutrient content, supporting medical conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, or swallowing difficulties.

Daily life is rounded out by a multipurpose activity center that hosts exercise classes, educational programs, and social events. Staff members plan a calendar intended to keep residents engaged physically, cognitively, and socially, reinforcing overall health and quality of life.
