A Village Home 1 in Montgomery operates as both an assisted-living residence and a state-licensed small residential care home. The community accepts residents who wander or elope, remain awake at night, use oxygen, require special diets, manage diabetes with oral medication or injections, and those under 60 who need long-term support. Staff members are trained to work with moderate dementia, and care plans are overseen through onsite podiatry and dental visits, scheduled primary-care physician rounding, and daily medication management coordinated with outside providers.
A 24-hour nurse is on call, and an awake night shift monitors safety through door alarms, a fenced rear area, and a personal emergency response system that alerts staff. Residents who need help with daily activities receive full assistance for bathing, dressing, and toileting, and some physical assistance at mealtimes. Transfer support ranges from standby supervision to one-person or two-person lifts, and the team can manage walkers and wheelchairs to keep mobility as safe as possible.
Private and semi-private rooms are available, and layouts vary: some include kitchenettes, independent climate controls, and furnished setups, while others may offer only selected features. Residents can personalize their space with their own paint colors and décor, and each unit is wired for cable. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are included in the monthly rate.
Meals follow a set menu prepared in-house, with snacks available throughout the day and a private dining room for family visits or special occasions. The kitchen team provides mechanical-chopped, puréed, thickened-liquid, vegetarian, and other physician-ordered diet modifications to meet individual medical requirements.
Community services include outside smoking areas, full wheelchair accessibility, an on-site barber and beauty shop, internet access, landscaped communal gardens, regular religious services held on site, and a small library for quiet reading or computer use.
