Ivanhoe Senior Care operates as a residential care home that is structured to deliver comprehensive medical oversight. The team is prepared for complex conditions such as advanced dementia and provides targeted supervision for residents who wander, attempt elopement, stay up all night, or need behavioral redirection throughout the day and evening. Nursing staff manage wound care, oxygen therapy, special diets, and full-spectrum diabetes support—covering oral medications, injections, and sliding-scale insulin. Residents younger than 60 who meet medical criteria can also be admitted, ensuring continuity of care for adults aging with chronic conditions.
Around-the-clock coverage is maintained by an on-site staff presence backed by a registered nurse or licensed practical nurse on call 24 hours a day. Door alarms, a fenced rear area, and a personal emergency response system help reduce the risk of accidents or departures. Direct care aides provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Transfer capabilities range from standby help for walkers to full mechanical lift support, including one-person and bed-bound transfers, so that residents with varying mobility levels can remain in place as needs change.
Private and semi-private rooms are available, and some are pre-wired for cable television to support everyday entertainment; however, cable service is not standard in every room. Furnishings are maintained for safety and ease of use, and residents may personalize their space within established guidelines. Temperature control, secure storage, and accessible bathrooms are part of the basic room package, though individual layouts can differ.
Dining follows a set menu that is adjusted to accommodate physician-ordered diet modifications, including diabetic, low-sodium, texture-altered, and other clinical plans. Meals are prepared on-site and served at regular intervals, with staff providing hand-over-hand or total assistance for those who cannot feed themselves independently. Snacks are available between meals, allowing residents to manage hunger or blood-sugar requirements without waiting for the next scheduled service.
Common areas and resident rooms are wheelchair accessible, and the community offers internet access to help residents stay connected with family, monitor health information, or pursue online entertainment.
