Coleen’s Cottage operates as a Residential Care Home prepared to manage a wide spectrum of medical needs. Team members monitor residents who wander and can coordinate oxygen use, manage specialized diets, and work with adults under 60. Diabetic care covers oral medications, injections, and sliding-scale insulin, and the staff is trained to recognize and respond to moderate dementia symptoms. The home also accepts residents with diagnosed psychiatric conditions, ensuring medication compliance and oversight within the residence.

Around-the-clock staffing, background-checked employees, and a secured environment form the backbone of daily support. Staff remain on site 24 hours, including an asleep night shift, and the property’s fenced rear yard, PERS alert system, and controlled entry points add layers of safety. Caregivers provide full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and they handle mobility at every level—from simple walker standby up to two-person or Hoyer lift transfers for bed-bound residents.

Accommodations range from fully furnished rooms to spaces residents may personalize with paint or décor, though not every room offers every feature. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are included, and independent living apartments can add housekeeping, laundry, medication-management monitoring, and a monthly meal plan.

Meals follow a set menu with scheduled snacks, optional in-room delivery, and a private dining room for family gatherings. Diet modification options include gluten-free, vegetarian, mechanical-chopped, puréed, or thickened-liquid preparations. Staff works with physicians and dietitians to make sure meal textures and nutritional content align with a resident’s care plan, and not all dining accommodations are available in every living area.

Residents have access to on-site parking, outdoor smoking areas, internet, communal gardens, a stair glide, a pool, and scheduled transportation for appointments and errands. Weekly religious services are held in the community room, 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.
