Sonrisas AFH is licensed as both an assisted living residence and a residential care home, giving it the flexibility to serve people who need light oversight as well as those who require more complex, daily medical attention. Onsite caregivers manage wound care, administer oxygen, and follow physician-ordered nutrition plans for residents who need special diets. The team is trained to work with adults under 60, residents using oral diabetes medication, and those who rely on insulin injections. Individuals living with advanced dementia can continue to age in place here because the community has protocols in place to address changes in memory, behavior, and communication.
Clinical support is reinforced by a 24-hour nurse on call, background-checked staff, and an awake night shift. A fenced rear area adds an extra layer of safety for residents who wander. Outside providers visit regularly for podiatry services, so foot care does not require an off-site trip. Caregivers can give full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and they are trained in every level of transfer help, ranging from standby support to two-person or Hoyer lift transfers for bed-bound residents. Walker and wheelchair users are accommodated without needing to leave the community.
Private and semi-private rooms are available, and many of them are wired for cable so residents can maintain preferred TV routines; not every room offers the same features, so it is best to verify during a tour. Bathrooms and common spaces are designed for wheelchair accessibility, and residents are welcome to bring familiar furniture and décor to personalize their living areas.
Meals follow a set menu prepared to meet standard nutritional guidelines, with diet modifications available for clinical needs such as renal, cardiac, or diabetic restrictions. Between meals, staff keep snacks accessible so residents can eat on their preferred schedule. Hydration and calorie counts are tracked when ordered by a physician to support overall health goals.
Daily life is supplemented by several practical amenities. Smoking is allowed outside in designated areas, internet access is available for personal devices, and the building’s layout supports wheelchair mobility throughout indoor and outdoor communal gardens. Scheduled transportation can be arranged for medical appointments or personal errands, making it easier for residents to maintain off-site engagements without added stress.
