The Plaza at the Towers sits in a free-standing building and you'll find that it offers animal care services for residents with pets, and the caregivers here can help people who get confused or need support to feel calm and safe, like folks with dementia or Alzheimer's because they keep memory care areas secure if someone tries to leave or wander off, which can happen sometimes, especially as people age and their memory changes. There's staff available 24 hours a day in case of emergencies-nurses here can give injectable medicines, caregivers help with things like giving medicine or checking blood sugar, moving between the bed and a chair, or reminding people to eat, take medicine, or go to appointments. Residents get three meals a day made by chefs, who plan menus for balanced vitamins and minerals, and offer vegetarian options and a choice of entrees, and you'll see private dining rooms for special occasions, plus pet-friendly policies if you love animals, plus Wi-Fi, beauty salon, lounges for games and clubs, and devotional services on site. Outings for field trips, transportation for errands and doctors-if you need it, there's a free ride, or you can pay for extra trips-and Spanish and French-speaking staff make communication a bit easier for everyone.
This place helps with assisted living for those who need help with bathing, dressing, medication, or who need escorts to get around, and they support independent living too for active seniors who don't need much help and want apartment-like living but with some supervision. They also connect people to memory care, for those who get confused or could wander without meaning to, and there's help for diabetic care and incontinence care, as well as for residents who might need extra supervision, like if they become a danger to themselves. Here, the Plaza tries to give people a chance to socialize with movement programs, games, clubs, outings, and activities, and there's awards for Best Activities in Senior Living and Most Friendly in Senior Living that they've received over the years. Staff have a reputation for being kind and helpful, which makes the community feel friendly. Housekeeping and laundry come with the services, and residents can use social areas like living rooms and enjoy field trips out in the town, with extra activities happening offsite too.
There's a health center on campus that offers family medicine, adult medicine, pediatrics, dental, optometry, behavioral health, pharmacy, and even nutrition and laboratory services with sample testing, X-rays, telehealth, and lots of other medical and diagnostic choices right at the Franklin Medical Mall and other locations nearby. This means basic and more specialized medical help is close for those who need it, including behavioral health, outpatient, inpatient care, immunizations, family planning, early HIV intervention, and education, as well as medication assistance and social help for folks who are homeless or need extra resources, and the center runs mobile healthcare units and school-based clinics, too. The Plaza has a Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) certificate, gives out brochures in English and Spanish, has after-hours care, and follows a sliding fee scale for medical and dental help, depending on what you can pay, and it supports programs for economic empowerment, training, scholarships, monthly senior nutrition help, public housing and voucher programs, and hosts community events and back-to-school fairs, which brings people together and gives out needed support.
There's an on-site lab inside The Plaza that opened fourteen years ago and serves places like prisons, industrial facilities, and skilled nursing homes, with moderate and high complexity lab types, a lab director, sample tracking, custom alerts, and professional training services, though one segment closed eligibility eight years back, and they can match staff to customer needs and run exports and analysis as needed. Care at The Plaza can suit many needs, since they offer independent living, assisted living, and support for high, medium, or low care needs, with memory care and specialized programs for Alzheimer's and dementia, all with pricing that reflects the level of help needed, and residents can use private pay, Social Security, veteran's benefits, or certain insurance to cover expenses. When residents need a prayer circle, a fresh haircut, help with medicine, or just a hand to hold, there's usually someone nearby, and with all the services on-site, it's easier to live with dignity even as needs change over time.
