Patriot, A Choice Community in Somerset offers both Assisted Living and Independent Living. The assisted living program is equipped to serve residents who wander during the day or night, display exit-seeking behavior, or have combative or other behavioral concerns. Nursing staff manage wound care, oxygen therapy, special diets, and diabetic care ranging from oral medication to injections and sliding scale coverage. The community accepts adults under 60 and is prepared to support moderate dementia, providing structured oversight and clinical monitoring tailored to each medical profile.

Care delivery is reinforced by an RN or LPN on every shift, with a nurse on-site around the clock. All employees complete background checks, and night staff remain awake for continuous supervision. A Wander Guard system and in-room pull-cord alerts connect directly to staff, while 24-hour security rounds add another layer of oversight. Residents have access to visiting podiatry, audiology, dental, optometry, and a dedicated therapy room. Staff can supply full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and they handle transfers ranging from walker support to two-person or bed-bound moves when needed.

Accommodations vary, offering combinations of private bathrooms, kitchenettes, furnishings, cable service, regular housekeeping, and scheduled laundry. Not every suite includes every feature, so prospective residents should verify specifics during a tour. Independent Living residents can choose units that include housekeeping and laundry services without enrolling in the assisted living care package.

Meals follow a set menu prepared with options for in-room dining and extensive diet management. The kitchen can provide gluten-free meals, mechanical-chopped or puréed textures, thickened liquids, vegetarian selections, and other physician-ordered modifications. Staff coordinate closely with nursing to align each diet with medical requirements and personal preferences.

Residents have access to on-site parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, internet connectivity, scheduled religious services, a library, and community transportation limited to medical appointments and local errands through a shuttle. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
