You First Personal Care offers assisted-living services designed to handle typical aging needs as well as more complex medical requirements. The community is equipped to monitor and treat wounds, manage oxygen therapy, prepare and supervise special diets, and accept residents younger than 60 when appropriate. Diabetes care ranges from oral medications to injections and sliding-scale insulin, and staff members are trained to recognize and respond to moderate dementia symptoms.
Clinical support is organized around licensed nursing staff. An RN or LPN is on site, a nurse is on call 24 hours a day, and all employees pass background checks. Night shifts are staffed by awake team members, and security personnel remain on site around the clock. A podiatrist visits the building, and caregivers provide some physical assistance with bathing, dressing, and toileting while residents who can eat independently do so. Transfer help is available for those who use a walker or who need standby or supervisory assistance.
Private and companion accommodations can be furnished or unfurnished, and many—but not all—rooms include cable service. Housekeeping is provided, and laundry is collected and returned on a scheduled basis. Residents who prefer to personalize their living space can bring furnishings and accessories as long as safety guidelines are met.
Meals are included in the monthly rate, and the kitchen routinely offers mechanical-chop, puréed, and thickened-liquid textures for anyone with swallowing or chewing limitations. Therapeutic diets ordered by physicians are followed closely. Independent-living residents who choose to participate in the on-site medication-management monitoring program receive daily reminders, compliance checks, and coordination with pharmacies while maintaining their own apartments.
The property allows smoking in designated outdoor areas, features a stair glide for easier movement between floors, and maintains a small library for quiet reading. Public transportation stops are located nearby for residents and visitors who prefer not to drive.
