Carolyn’s Senior Lodge operates as a residential care home able to accommodate residents who need consistent supervision and medical oversight. The community accepts individuals who wander, may attempt elopement, stay awake at night, require wound care, oxygen therapy, special diets, or diabetes management whether on oral medication, injections, or sliding-scale insulin. Staff members are trained to support moderate dementia and residents under 60 years old when appropriate. A 24-hour on-call nurse coordinates care, and the building maintains night-shift personnel who stay awake to monitor residents.
Additional health supports include onsite podiatry visits, acceptance of psychiatric diagnoses, and comprehensive medication management. Background-checked team members work around the clock, and the property is secured with alarms, fencing, and constant staff presence. Residents can receive full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. Mobility services range from supervision with a walker to two-person or Hoyer lift transfers for those who are bed-bound.
Private and semi-private rooms are available, and residents may personalize their spaces with paint or decorations if desired. Cable television, housekeeping, and scheduled laundry are offered in select accommodations, though not every room includes every feature.
Meals follow a set menu prepared to meet a variety of dietary requirements, including mechanical-chopped, pureed, or thickened-liquid textures when prescribed. Snacks are available between meals, and staff monitor intake for residents on special diet plans or blood-sugar management programs.
Common-area amenities include wheelchair-accessible pathways, internet access, and a communal garden space. On-site religious services are scheduled regularly, and a back-up power generator helps maintain essential equipment during outages. Transportation can be arranged for medical appointments and local errands, and routine housekeeping and the facility’s medication-management program are included in the standard service package.
