Dorothy Love Retirement offers Assisted Living and Independent Living designed to address a wide range of medical needs. Residents who require clinical oversight benefit from onsite RNs and LPNs, a nurse present around the clock, and staff trained to manage wound care, oxygen therapy, special diets, and diabetes—whether oral medication, injections, or sliding-scale coverage is required. The community also accepts residents living with moderate dementia conditions, providing a monitored environment without restricting independence more than necessary.
Additional safeguards include background-checked employees, an awake night shift, 24-hour security, in-room pull cords, and personal emergency response systems that alert staff. A podiatry clinic and therapy room are located on campus for convenient medical appointments. Staff can assist with full bathing, full dressing, full toileting, and partial eating support. Mobility assistance ranges from simple standby help with a walker to two-person or Hoyer-lift transfers, and the team is trained to care for residents who are completely bed-bound.
Apartments vary, but may include a private bathroom, kitchenette, independent temperature controls, cable service, and in-unit laundry; residents are welcome to paint or decorate their rooms. Not every unit offers every feature, so touring the available floor plans is recommended. Standard housekeeping is provided, and Independent Living residents can arrange scheduled housekeeping services that match their lighter support needs.
Dining is handled by professional chefs who prepare three daily meals and snacks, with an all-day dining option for residents who prefer flexible schedules. Menus accommodate gluten-free, low- or no-sodium, and no-sugar diets, and guest meals can be arranged. Service is restaurant-style, allowing residents to choose from several entrees while receiving any medically required diet modifications.
Community amenities include resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, smoking permitted in designated outdoor spots, a barber and beauty shop, communal gardens, and reliable internet access. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. On-site religious services, concierge assistance, and scheduled transportation round out the practical conveniences available to residents.
