The Crossings at Blacksburg offers both Assisted Living and Independent Living, allowing residents to shift between service levels without relocating. The community is equipped to manage complex medical situations including daytime and nighttime wandering, exit-seeking behavior, combativeness, and other behavioral issues linked to advanced dementia. Staff can care for residents who stay up all night, require wound care or oxygen therapy, and those under age 60 with chronic conditions. Comprehensive diabetes management is available for individuals using oral medications, insulin injections, or sliding-scale protocols, and the community accepts residents with psychiatric diagnoses.
Registered and licensed nurses are on site around the clock, backed by an awake night team, routine background checks, and 24-hour security. Pull cords and personal emergency response systems connect directly to staff, and the rear grounds are fenced to reduce elopement risk. A full-time activity director coordinates daily programming, while visiting podiatrists provide on-site foot care. The community offers full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and can handle transfers ranging from standby help to two-person or bed-bound support, whether the resident uses a walker, wheelchair, or requires total lift assistance.
Residences vary in layout and may include a private bathroom, kitchenette, independent temperature controls, cable hookup, and the option to paint or decorate. Because floor plans differ, not every unit contains each feature, so prospective residents should confirm specific details during a tour.
Meals follow a set menu prepared by the culinary team, and snacks are available throughout the day. Staff can adapt portions and textures as required by individual care plans, including specialized diets tied to diabetes or other medical conditions.
Amenities include resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty salon, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, and high-speed internet. Residents can relax in communal gardens or attend on-site religious services, and scheduled transportation is provided for medical appointments and outings. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
