Merry Heart Residential Care Home provides a single level of care—residential care—supported by on-site medical capabilities that address common health needs. Nursing oversight includes a registered or licensed practical nurse on staff with a nurse on call 24 hours a day, allowing residents who need wound care, oxygen management, special diets, or oral-medication diabetes support to remain in place. Night-shift personnel stay awake, and the team is familiar with the supervision strategies required for mild dementia, as well as the needs of adults under 60 who qualify for residential care. Assistance with personal care is available at the highest level: staff can fully help with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Mobility support ranges from standby help for walker users to one-person transfers for wheelchair users and those who are bed bound.
Safety and monitoring features back up the medical services. All employees undergo background checks before hire, exit doors are alarmed, the rear area is fenced, and each resident has an in-room pull cord for summoning help. These measures complement around-the-clock staffing so that night-time checks, medication reminders, and rapid responses to any change in condition can be handled without delay. Together, the clinical oversight and security systems allow residents and families to rely on timely intervention and consistent supervision.
Residents choose from furnished rooms, some with private bathrooms and others with shared facilities; not every room includes every feature. Where available, housekeeping is provided, streaming-capable televisions can be connected, and residents may repaint or decorate to personalize their space. The goal is to let each person balance privacy with easy access to care.
Dining follows an on-order approach that lets residents select items at each meal while still meeting physician-ordered diet modifications. The kitchen prepares snacks throughout the day and can accommodate gluten-free, vegetarian, mechanical-chopped, puréed, and thickened-liquid diets. Staff monitor each resident’s intake and provide hand-over-hand or full feeding assistance for those who need it.
Beyond direct care, the residence offers practical amenities. The building and grounds are wheelchair accessible, including level pathways that lead to communal gardens where smoking is allowed in designated outdoor areas. An on-site barber and beauty shop, scheduled religious services, and high-speed internet give residents everyday conveniences without leaving the property. When appointments or outings are necessary, transportation can be arranged through the home’s van service.
