The Ashford at Sturbridge-Wallick offers both Assisted Living and Independent Living, allowing residents to receive the level of help they need while remaining in one community. Care staff can manage needs related to elopement risk, oxygen therapy, special diets, nighttime wakefulness, and support for adults under 60. Diabetic management includes oral medications, injections, and sliding-scale insulin. Residents with mild dementia can be accommodated, and on-site podiatry is available to reduce the need for outside appointments.
Around-the-clock clinical oversight is provided by RNs and LPNs, with a licensed nurse on site 24 hours a day. Background-checked caregivers are scheduled for both awake and asleep night shifts, and the community is secured by staff presence at all times. Call-for-help pull cords and personal emergency response systems connect residents to staff quickly. Full assistance can be given with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and transfer help ranges from standby to two-person or bed-bound support. Walkers and wheelchairs are accommodated without issue.
Apartments may include a private bathroom, kitchenette, basic furnishings, individual climate controls, cable, and the option to paint or decorate, though not every unit contains every feature. Dining follows a set menu with snacks always available, and the kitchen can prepare and manage diet modifications ordered by a physician. Independent Living residents can opt for medication-management monitoring, housekeeping, laundry service, and a monthly meal plan that still allows flexibility in daily routines.
Residents have access to on-site parking, a wheelchair-accessible environment, a barber and beauty shop, a wellness center, internet access, and communal gardens. Scheduled transportation is provided and the property is close to public transit for appointments or outings. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
