Morningside Residence operates as a residential care home, designed for older adults who need daily oversight and clinical follow-through. The team is prepared to manage residents who wander during the day or night, those with elopement risk, combative or other behavioral concerns, and individuals who stay awake throughout the night. Nurses can handle wound care, oxygen therapy, special diet monitoring, and the full spectrum of diabetic management, from oral medications to injections and sliding-scale insulin. Staff members are also trained to support people living with advanced dementia, adapting routines and interventions as cognition changes.
A registered nurse or licensed practical nurse is on staff and a nurse is on call 24 hours a day. Caregivers work an awake night shift, and the building is staffed around the clock with additional security measures that include fenced outdoor space, door alarms, and a personal emergency response system that alerts staff immediately. Residents can receive full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. Mobility support ranges from standby help for steady walkers to one- or two-person transfers, wheelchair transport, and bed-bound care, allowing residents to stay in place as needs increase.
Private and semi-private rooms are available, each with basic furnishings, emergency call features, and access to common spaces. Some suites include private baths, while others share a hallway bathroom; not all accommodations have every feature. Housekeeping, linen service, and maintenance are provided by staff so residents do not have to manage household chores.
Meals follow a set menu prepared to meet general nutritional guidelines, with modifications for special diets such as low-sodium, renal, or diabetic needs. Snacks are available between meals, and staff can provide full assistance at mealtime for residents who need help cutting food, pacing intake, or using adaptive utensils. When medically necessary, texture-modified diets and controlled-carbohydrate plans are overseen by nursing staff to ensure compliance.
The community is wheelchair accessible and offers arranged transportation for medical appointments and errands, and its location near public transit makes family visits straightforward.
