St. Joan’s Care Home operates as a residential care home for older adults and younger residents who need daily medical oversight. The team is prepared to manage wandering behaviors, nighttime wakefulness, oxygen use, special diets, residents under 60, and diabetics on oral medications. Caregivers are also trained to support people with advanced dementia.

The home maintains a 24-hour nurse on call, conducts background checks on all staff, and staffs an asleep night shift. Safety measures include a fenced rear area and door alarms. On-site medical services cover medication management and acceptance of residents with psychiatric diagnoses. Direct care staff can provide full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. Transfer support ranges from standby help with walkers to two-person or full Hoyer lifts for bed-bound residents.

Private and semi-private rooms are available; some include a private bathroom, basic furnishings, cable service, and the option to repaint or decorate. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry are provided, but features vary by room, so it’s best to verify specific details during a visit.

Meals follow a set menu that can be adjusted for doctor-ordered diet modifications. The kitchen can prepare mechanically chopped, puréed, or thickened-liquid meals, and snacks are available between scheduled dining times.

Residents have access to outdoor smoking areas, wheelchair-accessible common spaces, an on-site barber and beauty shop, internet service, communal gardens, and regular religious services held in the building.
