Concordia At The Orchard provides both Assisted Living and Memory Care, allowing residents to move between levels of support without leaving the community. Medical management for residents with diabetes is comprehensive, covering oral medications, insulin injections, and sliding-scale dosing overseen by licensed nurses. The team is experienced with advanced dementia conditions, giving families the option to keep loved ones on site even as cognitive needs grow. Clinical oversight is constant, and care plans are adjusted as conditions change.
Around-the-clock clinical staffing further reinforces safety. A registered nurse or licensed practical nurse is on site 24 hours a day, and an additional nurse remains on call for unexpected concerns. Residents can summon help through in-room pull cords or personal emergency response systems that alert staff instantly. An activity director coordinates programs suited to varied cognitive and physical abilities, while direct-care aides are available for full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting.
Apartments vary in size and layout; some include a kitchenette for light meal preparation, independent temperature controls for personal comfort, and cable connections for private entertainment, though these features are not present in every unit. Weekly housekeeping and linen service are standard, with laundry handled by staff to keep personal wardrobes ready. Independent Living participants can also choose a monthly meal plan, freeing them from most daily cooking responsibilities while still allowing flexibility.
Meals follow a set menu designed to meet general nutritional guidelines and physician-ordered diets. Three daily meals are served in a common dining space, and snacks are available between sittings for residents who need smaller, more frequent portions. Staff monitor food and fluid intake, an important safeguard for residents with diabetes or dementia who may forget to eat or drink.
Residents have access to on-site parking, scheduled transportation for errands and medical appointments, wheelchair-accessible common areas, and a barber/beauty shop that provides routine grooming. Regular religious services are offered without leaving the campus. Pets are allowed in designated areas after meeting community guidelines. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
