Elizabeth Residence Franklin operates as an assisted-living community that is equipped to handle a broad spectrum of health needs. The team is familiar with residents who wander, demonstrate elopement risk, exhibit combative or other behavioral challenges, stay up through the night, or live with advanced dementia. Clinical support extends to wound care, oxygen management, specialized diets, and diabetic care whether controlled by oral medication, injections, or sliding-scale insulin. The community also admits adults under 60 when appropriate.
Round-the-clock supervision is built around an RN or LPN on staff, an on-call nurse 24 hours a day, and awake night-shift caregivers. All employees undergo background checks. Safety measures include fenced outdoor areas, door alarms, WanderGuard technology, pull cords in rooms, and PERS devices that alert staff. Visiting podiatry services are scheduled on-site, and the community accepts residents with psychiatric diagnoses. Caregivers can provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Mobility support ranges from standby supervision to one- or two-person transfers and, when needed, full-body or Hoyer-lift transfers; walkers and wheelchairs are accommodated.
Apartments include private bathrooms, standard furnishings, individual climate controls, cable access, and routine housekeeping. Residents who wish to personalize their space may paint or decorate the room, subject to approval. Not every accommodation contains every feature, so families should verify specifics during a visit.
Meals follow a set menu with the kitchen able to honor physician-ordered diet modifications, including mechanical-chop, purée, thickened liquids, and other special diets. Snacks are available between meals, and a private dining room can be reserved for family gatherings.
Residents have access to on-site parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, internet connectivity, communal gardens, scheduled religious services, and transportation for medical appointments and errands.
