Susan’s Victorian Cottage operates as an assisted-living community designed to keep residents medically supported while maintaining day-to-day independence. Licensed nursing staff coordinate regular physician visits on-site, manage medications, and oversee diabetes care plans that include blood-sugar monitoring and diet compliance. A certified speech therapist comes to the building for residents who need help with swallowing issues or communication challenges, allowing treatment to occur without an outside appointment.

For residents recovering from illness or surgery, the Cottage accepts respite and other short-term stays, giving families a reliable option when home support is not available. Staff members track changes in condition through routine wellness checks, and the care team can adjust service levels quickly if needs increase. Emergency response systems are in place 24/7, and coordination with outside specialists is arranged whenever a new medical issue arises.

Private and companion suites are available, each climate-controlled and equipped for cable TV and high-speed Wi-Fi; select layouts include full bath tubs. Most rooms are handicap accessible, and several open directly to landscaped outdoor areas that are popular with residents who keep small pets. Because features vary by unit, prospective residents should confirm which rooms include specific amenities such as parking spaces or patio access before signing.

The culinary program provides three daily meals plus scheduled healthy snacks. Menus accommodate vegan, vegetarian, low-sodium, no-sugar, and other doctor-ordered diets without extra fees, and staff record meal intake for residents on specialized nutrition plans. During warmer months, cookouts and picnic lunches are held in the courtyard, giving everyone a chance to socialize while still adhering to individual dietary guidelines.

Daily life outside the dining room includes an activity center that hosts bingo, arts and crafts, and evening TV or movie nights. A library and computer lounge supports independent study, while organized clubs, swimming sessions, and community-led social outings encourage regular engagement. Scheduled day trips take residents to local shops and cultural events, and the building’s theater room is used for both classic-film afternoons and televised sports gatherings.
