Shady Lawn Nursing Home offers both Assisted Living and Independent Living, giving residents the option to choose the level of day-to-day support that suits them. Medical oversight is delivered by an on-site physician, RNs and LPNs who monitor chronic conditions such as diabetes and coordinate care with visiting podiatrists, audiologists, dentists and specialists in the therapy room. Speech therapy is available for residents working to maintain or improve communication and swallowing skills, and the staff is trained to support individuals living with mild dementia.

Additional safety and care features include a 24-hour nurse on call, awake night shift coverage, routine background checks for all employees and constant staff presence with pull-cord alerts in resident rooms. The team can provide full assistance with bathing, dressing and toileting while encouraging self-care at mealtimes when possible. Transfer help ranges from standby supervision to hands-on support for residents who use walkers or wheelchairs. An activity director plans structured programs that align with each resident’s abilities.

Accommodations vary, with some suites offering private bathrooms, kitchenettes and independent temperature controls, while others provide a more traditional room layout. Housekeeping comes as part of the basic package, and scheduled laundry services keep personal clothing and linens clean without families needing to manage those tasks.

Dining is served from a set menu prepared to meet general nutritional guidelines and modified as needed for medical diets, including diabetic meal plans. Staff members remain available during meals to ensure residents who need verbal cues or minimal assistance can eat safely and comfortably.

Amenities include a barber and beauty shop, communal gardens, a library, personal phone lines and transportation for medical appointments or local errands. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
