Carlenes Care Home – Karie Andrews operates as a residential care home, providing an environment suited to residents who need daily oversight while wishing to remain in a smaller, homelike setting. The care team is equipped to manage wound care, administer and monitor oxygen therapy, and coordinate special diets, including nutritional plans for residents who control diabetes with oral medications. Staff are also experienced in supporting individuals living with moderate dementia, adjusting routines and cues to maintain safety and orientation.
The home maintains a 24-hour nurse on call and requires background checks for all team members. An awake night shift covers the building, with additional asleep staff available, and door-alarm systems and pull-cord alerts connect residents to caregivers quickly. Assistance with personal care is comprehensive—staff provide full help with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. Transfer options range from simple standby support to two-person or Hoyer lift transfers for bed-bound residents, and mobility aids such as walkers and wheelchairs are accommodated.
Private and shared rooms come furnished, and many include cable service; housekeeping is provided for all units. Because room configurations vary, not every accommodation offers every feature, so families should ask about specific layouts and amenities during a tour.
Meals follow a set menu but the kitchen will prepare items to order when possible. Snacks are available between meals, and the staff can adjust textures, seasonings, and portion sizes to meet physician-ordered diet modifications or resident preferences.
The property is wheelchair accessible throughout and residents can relax or socialize in communal gardens maintained by the staff.
