Chicora Medical Center offers a straightforward assisted-living program designed for residents who need daily support while managing health concerns. The community is equipped to serve individuals who wander or are at risk of wandering, with services tailored for morning and evening tendencies. Diabetes care is available for residents using oral medications, insulin injections, or sliding-scale protocols, and mild dementia needs are supported within the routine care structure.
Around-the-clock clinical oversight adds another layer of support. A registered nurse or licensed practical nurse is on site at all times, night staff remain awake, and doors are alarmed and fitted with Wander Guard technology. Residents can summon help through pull cords or PERS devices. On-site medical services include memory-specific programming, physical and occupational therapy, podiatry, hospice coordination, medication management, and incontinence and ambulatory care. Personal care assistance covers full help with bathing, eating, and dressing, partial aid with toileting, and one-person transfers.
Apartments are available in a range of layouts that may feature kitchenettes, cable service, in-room phone lines, Wi-Fi, and wheelchair-accessible showers. Some units are pet-friendly, and cats are permitted, while resident parking is available for those who still drive. Outdoor areas and a library-computer lounge provide additional space for daily routines. Because floor plans vary, not every room includes every feature.
Daily meals are included in the residency package, prepared to accommodate common dietary needs and served in a communal dining area that supports social engagement. Staff remain available in the dining room to assist anyone who requires help with eating, ensuring residents on specialized diets or with limited mobility receive the proper nutrition and support.
Additional amenities round out the setting. Residents have access to an exercise room, wellness center, barber and beauty services, a movie room, and a fully stocked library. Internet access is offered throughout the building, and on-site religious services are scheduled for those who wish to attend. Outdoor smoking is permitted in designated areas, and all common spaces, entrances, and activity rooms are wheelchair accessible.
