Fardale Home operates as a Residential Care Home and is equipped to handle a wide range of clinical needs. Staff can manage residents who wander at any hour, present elopement risks, display combative or other behavioral concerns, or stay up all night. The team is trained to handle wound care, administer oxygen, and follow special diet orders. Diabetes management covers oral medications, injections, and sliding-scale insulin, and services extend to residents younger than 60. The community also accepts advanced dementia cases, offering structure and monitoring that meet the demands of progressive cognitive decline.
Clinical oversight is continuous, with an RN or LPN on staff and a nurse on call 24 hours. All employees pass background checks, a designated night-shift team remains awake, and the building is staffed and secured around the clock. A podiatrist visits on site, and the residence accepts individuals with diagnosed psychiatric conditions. Bathing and dressing assistance is available for those who need some physical help, while eating remains self-directed. Toileting comes with standby supervision, and transfers can be performed with a walker, standby help, or a one-person lift, matching each resident’s capabilities.
Private and semi-private rooms are available and come furnished, though residents may bring personal items, paint, or otherwise decorate if they choose. Some, but not all, rooms include in-room cable service. Common spaces are maintained for socializing, and the community keeps maintenance and housekeeping on a regular schedule to support safety and cleanliness.
Dining is served from a set menu designed by nutritional staff, with snacks always on hand and diet modifications arranged when prescribed by a physician. Consistency in carbohydrate counting, low-sodium options, and other specialized plans are incorporated as needed. Independent Living residents who elect medication-management monitoring receive scheduled reminders, dose tracking, and follow-up documentation, adding an extra layer of safety while allowing them to retain as much autonomy as possible.
Residents find practical conveniences such as on-site parking, internet access in common areas, and outdoor spaces that include communal gardens. Smoking is permitted only in designated exterior areas. Transportation services, coupled with a location close to public transit, give residents multiple ways to attend appointments, shop, or visit local attractions without relying solely on private vehicles.
