Emma’s Adult Foster Home operates as a residential care home designed for individuals who need ongoing medical oversight. The staff is experienced in managing residents who wander at any time of day, display behavioral issues, stay up through the night, require wound care, use oxygen, follow physician-ordered special diets, or are under 60 and living with disabilities. The team also supports diabetics whether they use oral medications, injections, or sliding-scale insulin, and the home is prepared to handle moderate dementia conditions with consistent monitoring.
An RN or LPN is part of the regular staff, and a nurse is on site around the clock. All employees undergo background checks, the night shift remains awake, and a PERS alert system automatically notifies staff if assistance is needed. Medication coordination and hospice services can be provided on site. Residents may receive full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. Transfer help ranges from standby supervision to one- or two-person transfers, including support for those who rely on walkers, wheelchairs, or are bed-bound.
Private and semi-private rooms are available furnished, and residents can repaint or decorate their space if they wish. Some rooms include cable service. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry are handled by staff, though service levels can vary by room type and care plan, so not every accommodation comes with every feature.
Dining offers both set menus and made-to-order options. Between meals, snacks are available. The kitchen can modify textures for mechanical-chop, puréed, or thickened-liquid diets and will prepare vegetarian meals or other physician-ordered diet plans to meet medical requirements.
Common areas are wheelchair accessible, wireless internet is provided, and residents who smoke may do so in designated outdoor areas.
