Sunrise of Westtown in West Chester is an assisted-living community structured to handle a broad range of health needs. Residents who require diabetes management receive support for oral medications, injections, and sliding-scale insulin, and licensed staff can provide wound care, oxygen supervision, and physician oversight as needed. The community also accommodates special diets, including low-sodium and no-sugar menus, so medical nutrition plans can be followed without interruption. Short-term respite stays are available for those recovering from surgery or for families who need temporary support, and the residence accepts adults younger than 60 when clinically appropriate.
In addition to routine medical services, Sunrise of Westtown is prepared for more complex behavioral and safety concerns. Caregivers monitor residents who wander during the day or night, address elopement risks, and are trained to respond to combative or otherwise challenging behaviors. Nighttime staff stay alert for residents who remain up all night, and an emergency call system in every apartment links directly to on-site personnel for rapid assistance. Coordination with outside physicians helps maintain continuity of care, and family members receive regular updates on health status and interventions.
Apartments come furnished or unfurnished and may include a private bathroom, kitchenette, independent temperature controls, cable access, air conditioning, and wheelchair-accessible showers; however, not every unit contains every feature. Residents may paint or decorate their space, bring pets when appropriate, and enjoy outdoor areas, gardens, and on-site parking. Weekly housekeeping, personal laundry services, and in-unit washer-dryer options reduce daily chores, and each floor is designed for handicap accessibility.
Meals are prepared by a professional chef and served restaurant-style three times a day, with all-day dining and healthy snacks available between scheduled sittings. Residents can request on-order selections or choose from a set menu, and guest meals are offered for visiting family members. Dietary modifications cover diabetic, low-sodium, and other physician-ordered plans, so nutrition goals align with each care plan.
Daily life extends beyond the apartment through an activity center, library and computer lounge, and organized clubs and social communities. Regular programming includes arts and crafts, TV or movie nights, bingo, and structured health and wellness sessions. Residents can go outdoors for walks, take part in planned day trips and social outings, or use the on-site swimming pool when weather and staffing allow.
