Sterling Care Hillhaven offers assisted living, memory care, independent living, respite stays, and nursing services in a community setting where seniors can keep as much independence as they're able while getting the daily help they might need, and the place accepts adults over 55 and lets residents bring their pets along which folks always like since pets feel like family, and you know how it's comforting to bring home with you. The Stepping Stones program lets people stay for up to 30 days, and there's respite care, too, for caregivers who need a break or for folks needing extra help after surgery or injury, and during those stays residents enjoy pampering, dining, and activities.
They focus a lot on learning about what makes each resident happy, such as favorite hobbies or family history, so the staff can talk about things residents like, and the Life Engagement programming tries to spark good conversation and help folks feel fulfilled day by day. The memory care section sits in a secure building made for people with Alzheimer's or dementia and uses a wander alert system with bracelets to help keep residents from getting lost, and they keep an eye on those who might act out or have behavioral challenges. The memory care plans give special attention to positive experiences and respect, with a calendar full of activities built especially for memory care residents.
There are nurses always there, with a doctor on call, and visiting health folks like podiatrists, dentists, physical and occupational therapists, and speech therapy, and of course 24-hour awake staff. The facility offers a wide range of care, including medication management, assistance with daily living tasks at different levels, diabetes care, ostomy care, IV therapy, wound care, tracheotomy care, TPN, and post-discharge support, along with programs for both residents who get around easily and those who'll need mechanical lifts or help transferring. Residents can stay put as their needs change, thanks to levels of care and aging in place options.
