Reflections of Lancaster offers both Assisted Living and Independent Living, with a 24-hour nurse on site to coordinate and oversee care. The community supports residents who use oxygen, require physician-ordered special diets, manage diabetes with oral medication, injections, or a sliding-scale regimen, and adults under 60 who need an assisted-living setting. Moderate dementia conditions are accommodated, and care teams adjust oversight levels to match each resident’s cognitive status, ensuring safety while encouraging independence whenever possible.
Additional clinical resources are available without leaving the building. Visiting podiatrists handle routine foot care, a therapy room is set up for rehabilitation services, and the community accepts residents with managed psychiatric diagnoses. Staff provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, and toileting, and can step in with some help during meals when needed. Transfer capabilities range from walker support to wheelchair use and extend to one- or two-person assists, full Hoyer lifts, and bed-bound positioning, enabling residents with wide-ranging mobility levels to remain on site.
Apartments may feature a private bathroom, kitchenette, independent temperature controls, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate, although not every unit includes every feature. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry are supplied for Assisted Living, while Independent Living residents can select housekeeping and laundry services on an à-la-carte basis to match their desired level of involvement.
The culinary program combines a daily set menu with an on-order option at each meal, and snacks are always available. The kitchen produces gluten-free, vegetarian, mechanical-chop, puréed, and thickened-liquid selections under dietitian oversight to meet physician directives. Independent Living residents can buy into a monthly meal plan or continue cooking in their own kitchenettes, choosing the level of dining support that suits their routines.
Residents have access to on-site parking, wheelchair-accessible common spaces, and scheduled transportation, with public transit stops nearby for added flexibility. Amenities include a barber and beauty shop, movie room, wellness center, library, Internet access, concierge services, special-interest clubs, and regular religious services. Smoking is allowed outdoors, and pets are welcome; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
