Shuler Health Care/Crane Villa in Kernersville offers both Assisted Living and Independent Living, backed by a nursing team able to manage wound care, oxygen therapy, and physician-prescribed special diets. Staff are prepared to support residents under 60, those living with mild dementia, and people managing diabetes—whether by oral medication, injections, or sliding-scale insulin. The community also accepts residents who have psychiatric conditions, coordinating treatment plans with outside providers as needed. Personal-care assistance is delivered according to individual needs: bathing, dressing, and toileting receive hands-on help when some physical assistance is required, while eating receives standby supervision. Transfers are accommodated for individuals who use a walker or who just need standby or supervisory help.
Preventive practices and security measures are in place throughout the day and night. All employees pass background checks, and an awake night-shift staff is on duty to respond to the pull-cord alert system. Door alarms and a fenced rear area add another layer of protection, particularly for those with mild cognitive challenges. An activity director arranges daily programming that supports physical, mental, and social engagement, and staff track changes in residents’ health status to adjust care plans promptly.
Residences can be fully furnished, but individuals may bring their own furniture and even paint or decorate if they prefer. Cable service is available in many, though not all, rooms. Housekeeping is included, and Independent Living residents also receive medication-management monitoring and weekly laundry service so they can maintain independence with appropriate oversight.
Meals follow a set menu served in the communal dining area, and snacks are stocked for access between scheduled mealtimes. Kitchen staff coordinate closely with nursing to honor physician-ordered diets, including diabetic, low-sodium, and other restricted menus.
Residents have access to on-site parking, designated outdoor smoking areas, full wheelchair accessibility, a barber/beauty shop, a movie room, communal gardens, and regularly scheduled religious services. Community transportation is available for medical appointments and local errands, and group outings are arranged to encourage social involvement.
