Sunrise of Paoli provides both Assisted Living and Memory Care, with programming that can remain effective even as residents progress to advanced dementia. Medical oversight covers residents who wander at any time of day, display elopement risk, or present combative or other challenging behaviors. The community manages wound care, special diets, and diabetes—whether oral medications, injections, or sliding-scale insulin are required—and will admit residents younger than 60 when appropriate. On-site podiatry and acceptance of psychiatric diagnoses add another layer of clinical reach.
Care delivery is reinforced by an RN or LPN on staff and a nurse on call 24 hours a day. Background-checked team members work both awake and asleep night shifts, and an activity director coordinates engagement. Safety features include 24-hour staffed security, fenced outdoor areas, alarmed doors, wander-guard technology, pull-cord alerts, and personal emergency response systems. Staff can give full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and they are trained to handle mobility needs ranging from standby help with a walker to two-person or Hoyer-lift transfers for bed-bound residents.
Living options vary; some suites feature private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, furnishings, cable hookups, and the freedom to paint or decorate, while others include only a portion of these elements. Residents can choose layouts to match their budget and level of independence, and maintenance is handled by the community.
Dining offers both set menus and made-to-order selections, with snacks available throughout the day. The kitchen team accommodates physician-ordered diet modifications and resident preferences. Independent Living residents who do not need daily personal care can still receive medication-management monitoring, as well as regular housekeeping and laundry services.
Amenities include resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, an on-site barber and beauty shop, a movie room, a wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, and scheduled religious services. Transportation is provided for appointments and outings, and the community sits near public transit for added convenience. Smoking is permitted outdoors, and pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
