Juniper Village at Mount Joy offers three levels of residential care: Independent Living for those who want a maintenance-free lifestyle with access to help when needed, Assisted Living for residents who need daily support, and a secure Memory Care program designed for individuals living with moderate dementia. Licensed nurses manage a range of clinical needs, including wound care, oxygen therapy, and diabetes management by oral medication, insulin injections, or sliding-scale dosing. The community also accommodates residents under 60 and those requiring physician-ordered special diets, ensuring consistent oversight of changing health conditions.
Around-the-clock clinical coverage supports these care levels. A registered or licensed practical nurse is on site 24 hours a day, backed by an on-call nurse. Staff members are awake overnight, emergency pull cords and personal emergency response systems alert caregivers, and exit doors are alarmed for resident safety. Full assistance is available with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and the team can handle mobility needs ranging from standby help with a walker to two-person transfers and bed-bound care. On-site services include podiatry, dental care, therapy programs, and acceptance of psychiatric diagnoses, giving residents access to a broad spectrum of healthcare without leaving the building.
Apartments vary, but many feature a private bathroom, kitchenette, independent climate controls, basic furnishings, cable access, and the option to personalize walls with paint or décor. Housekeeping, scheduled laundry service, and some in-unit laundry setups reduce daily chores, though not every unit has all amenities, so prospective residents should confirm specific features during a tour.
Dining offers a standard menu prepared to meet physician-ordered diet modifications such as mechanical-chopped, puréed, or thickened-liquid textures. Snacks are available between meals, private dining can be arranged for family visits, and in-room meal service is offered when residents are ill or prefer to dine privately.
Residents have access to parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, wellness center, internet, communal gardens, on-site religious services, concierge support, library, special-interest clubs, and scheduled transportation with a shuttle for medical appointments. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Public transportation options are nearby for added convenience.
