Margaret’s Place, Teresa Yip, NP operates as a residential care home designed to manage a wide range of health needs. The team accepts residents who wander at any time of the day, addresses behavioral issues, provides wound care, administers oxygen therapy, and supports people on specialty diets. Adults under 60 are welcome, and the staff is equipped to care for diabetics whether they use oral medications, injections, or sliding-scale insulin. Care plans can be adjusted for individuals with moderate dementia so they can stay safely on site as needs evolve.
Clinical oversight is anchored by an RN/LPN on staff with a nurse on call around the clock. All employees pass background checks, and the overnight shift is awake to monitor the community. Direct care includes full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. Mobility services range from basic walker help to wheelchair management, standby or supervised transfers, one- or two-person lifts, full Hoyer transfers, and support for residents who are bed bound.
Private and semi-private rooms are available, many with in-room bathrooms and basic furnishings. Residents can bring personal items, paint, or decorate within guidelines to make the space their own. Cable service, routine housekeeping, and scheduled laundry are offered; however, not every accommodation features each of these options, so families should verify specifics during a tour.
Meals follow a rotating set menu with the option to order alternate items. Snacks are stocked throughout the day. The kitchen manages diet modifications, including gluten-free meals, mechanical-chopped or pureed foods, thickened liquids, and vegetarian selections. Individual nutrition plans are reviewed regularly to keep pace with medical directives.
Common areas are wheelchair accessible, boosted by reliable internet access for residents who stream or video-chat with family. A stair glide connects multi-level sections of the home to ensure safe movement without relying solely on elevators.
