Padua Adult Foster Home, operated by Mervin Padua, LPN, functions as a residential care home able to accept residents with a broad range of medical requirements. The team is prepared to manage behavioral issues, advanced dementia conditions, complex wound care, oxygen therapy and specialized dietary needs. Residents younger than 60 are accepted, and diabetes care is offered at every level, from oral medications to injections and sliding-scale monitoring. This medical scope allows the home to admit individuals whose conditions might otherwise require a higher level of institutional care.

Around-the-clock oversight is reinforced by a licensed nurse on staff, background-checked caregivers and an asleep night shift. Direct care includes full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating and toileting, which can be crucial for residents with limited mobility or cognitive decline. Transfer help ranges from standby supervision to two-person or Hoyer lift support, extending even to bed-bound individuals. These capabilities enable residents to remain onsite as needs change rather than moving to multiple settings.

Private rooms are offered and may include a bathroom, basic furnishings, cable service and the option for residents or families to repaint or decorate. Regular housekeeping and scheduled laundry services keep personal spaces clean and organized. Not every room has every listed feature, so families should review the available layouts during a visit.

Daily meals follow a set menu designed to meet general nutrition standards while allowing for physician-ordered diet modifications, including carbohydrate control for diabetes or texture adjustments for swallowing issues. Snacks are available between meals, ensuring that residents with higher caloric needs or fluctuating appetites have access to food throughout the day.

Amenities include wheelchair-accessible common areas, internet access for personal use and proximity to public transportation for family visits or off-site appointments. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
