Gracious Heart operates as a residential care home, accepting residents who need close oversight and individualized health management. The community is prepared to care for individuals who wander during the day or night, show behavioral challenges, require wound care, oxygen therapy, or follow specialized diets. Staff are trained to manage diabetes in all forms, including oral medication, insulin injections, and sliding-scale dosing, and they admit residents younger than 60 when medically appropriate. Experience with advanced dementia rounds out the clinical scope, allowing the team to support progressive cognitive decline without requiring a disruptive transfer to another setting.
Direct care is backed by an RN or LPN on staff and a nurse on call around the clock. The home maintains 24-hour staffing and security, door alarms, and a personal emergency response system that alerts caregivers immediately. Full assistance is available for bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. Mobility support ranges from simple supervision for walkers to two-person or Hoyer lift transfers, and bed-bound residents are accommodated.
Private and semi-private rooms are designed for practicality, offering cable service for personal entertainment; not every room includes the same features, so prospective residents should confirm availability of specific fixtures during a visit. Common areas are wheelchair accessible and arranged to keep sightlines clear for staff monitoring.
Meals follow a set menu prepared in house, and the kitchen adjusts recipes for diabetic, low-sodium, or other physician-ordered diets. Snacks are stocked throughout the day so residents can maintain consistent caloric intake and blood-sugar stability without waiting for scheduled meals.
Residents have access to outdoor smoking areas, high-speed internet, and fully accessible indoor and outdoor pathways.
