Brightstar Care Home, Mary Ndegwa operates as a residential care home in Albany, providing continuous oversight for residents who need day-to-day clinical support. The team is trained to manage wound care, oxygen administration, specialized diets, and the monitoring of diabetics on oral medications. Staff also have experience working with people who have advanced dementia, adjusting care plans as cognition changes. Medical oversight is coordinated with residents’ physicians to keep treatment protocols current.

Beyond clinical services, the community maintains 24-hour staffing with overnight caregivers on an asleep shift, a fenced rear area, and door alarms to reduce elopement risk. Caregivers can supply full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. Mobility support ranges from standby supervision to one- or two-person transfers and extends to full-body Hoyer lifts for bed-bound residents. Walkers and wheelchairs are routinely accommodated.

Resident rooms are offered furnished, and families may paint or decorate to personalize the space, though specific features vary by unit. Cable connections are available in many rooms, and scheduled housekeeping keeps living areas orderly. Common areas are kept uncluttered to allow safe movement for residents using mobility devices.

Dining is built around a set menu that follows physician-ordered diet modifications. Three meals are served daily, with snacks available between seatings. For residents who tire easily or are recovering from illness, staff can serve meals in the room to maintain adequate nutrition without disrupting rest.

Leisure programming includes access to a dedicated movie room where residents can gather for scheduled showings or casual viewing.
