Park Ridge offers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, allowing residents to remain onsite as needs change. The health team is equipped to manage advanced dementia as well as residents who wander during the day or night, present elopement risks, have behavioral symptoms, or stay up throughout the night. Nursing staff monitor wound care, administer oxygen, and oversee special diets, including support for residents who control diabetes with oral medications. The community also accepts residents with psychiatric diagnoses, coordinating services on site to minimize outside appointments.
An RN or LPN is on staff and a nurse is on call around the clock. All employees undergo background checks, and an awake night shift maintains direct supervision. Security measures include door alarms, Wander Guard technology, pull cords, and personal emergency response systems that alert staff. Residents who require hands-on help receive full assistance with bathing, dressing, and toileting, and standby supervision with meals. Mobility support ranges from walker or wheelchair use to one-person and two-person transfers when necessary, allowing residents with limited mobility to remain safely in place.
Resident suites are designed to feel residential while meeting safety codes for assisted living. Cable service is available, although not every accommodation includes this feature; availability should be confirmed during a tour. Rooms can be furnished with personal items so residents can maintain familiar surroundings, and bathrooms are set up with grab bars and non-slip surfaces.
Meals follow a set menu prepared to meet nutritional guidelines for older adults, and the kitchen can modify textures or ingredients to accommodate physician-ordered diets, including low-sugar and low-sodium plans. Staff members monitor intake when needed and keep snacks available between meals so residents who eat smaller, more frequent portions have access to appropriate options.
Residents have access to an exercise room, internet service, and wheelchair-friendly communal areas, including a garden for fresh air or outdoor smoking in the designated space. The building and grounds are fully wheelchair accessible, enabling residents to participate in daily activities without leaving the property.
