The Haven @ Cold Harbor is a residential care home that concentrates on hands-on medical oversight for residents with complex needs. The team manages conditions such as wandering—day or night—elopement risk, combative or other behavioral issues, and sleep reversal (“up all night”). Skilled nurses handle wound care, oxygen therapy, and specialized diet management. Residents younger than sixty are accepted, and the staff monitors diabetes at every level, from oral medications to injections and sliding-scale insulin. The community is also equipped to support people living with advanced dementia, providing consistent routines and safeguards designed for memory loss.

Clinical staffing includes an RN or LPN on every shift, a nurse on site 24 hours a day, and an additional nurse on call around the clock. Background-checked caregivers cover both awake and asleep night shifts, and an activity director coordinates daily engagement. Security features include staff presence 24/7, fenced front and rear yards, alarmed doors, WanderGuard systems, and pull-cord alerts that can contact staff directly or call 911. On-site medical services bring podiatry, audiology, dentistry, and a therapy room to the resident’s doorstep, and the home accepts individuals with psychiatric diagnoses. Caregivers provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and they are trained for every transfer level—from simple standby with a walker to two-person or Hoyer-lift moves for bed-bound individuals.

Accommodation options range from fully furnished suites with private bathrooms and kitchenettes to more compact rooms that share amenities; not every unit includes every feature. Most rooms have individual temperature controls, cable access, and the option for residents to paint or decorate. Housekeeping is included, and laundry can be done in the unit or handled on a scheduled service.

Meals are available by set menu or made to order, and snacks are stocked throughout the day. Residents may dine in the common room, request in-room service, or reserve a private dining space for visitors. The kitchen team prepares therapeutic diets including gluten-free choices, mechanical-chopped and pureed textures, thickened liquids, heart-healthy vegetarian entrées, and other physician-ordered modifications.

Residents have access to on-site parking, outdoor smoking areas, and wheelchair-accessible common spaces such as a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, library, and pool. High-speed internet, communal gardens, a stair glide, concierge support, special-interest clubs, and regular religious services are also available. Transportation options include proximity to public transit, scheduled medical shuttles, and a town-car service for personal errands. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
