Potter’s Residential Care Home provides both assisted living and residential care home options, allowing residents to receive a level of support matched to their needs. The team is equipped to manage residents who wander in the morning or evening, those with elopement risk, individuals who stay up all night, and persons requiring wound care, oxygen therapy, or special diets. Care is also available for adults under 60 and for diabetics who use oral medications, injections, or a sliding-scale regimen. The community accepts and supports residents with moderate dementia, offering structured oversight designed to reduce confusion and promote safety.
An on-site registered or licensed practical nurse is present around the clock, and a nurse is always on duty for medical oversight. All caregivers are background-checked, night staff remains on site, and doors are alarmed with the rear grounds fully fenced for added security. Podiatry services are delivered on the premises, limiting the need for off-site appointments. For daily living tasks, caregivers can provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, and toileting and can offer some physical help with eating. Mobility support ranges from standby supervision to one- and two-person transfers, full Hoyer lifts, and bed-bound care, ensuring residents at every mobility level receive appropriate assistance.
Accommodations include furnished rooms, some with private bathrooms and cable access, though not every room offers every feature. The physical environment is arranged to support mobility devices such as walkers and wheelchairs and to give staff clear lines of sight for supervision.
Dining follows a set menu prepared to meet physician-ordered diets, including carbohydrate-controlled meals for diabetics and other special dietary plans. Regular snacks are available between meals so residents can maintain stable blood sugar and caloric intake.
Residents have access to on-site parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, an exercise room, internet connectivity, and communal gardens for outdoor time. Scheduled transportation and proximity to public transit help residents reach appointments and local destinations. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
