The staff excels at giving hands-on support for daily needs, medication management, and making sure everyone gets around safely-whether someone's here for a short respite stay or planning to age in place as needs change over time. The building's got lots of safety and accessibility features, like full tubs and wheelchair-ready showers, along with both indoor and outdoor common areas for relaxing or socializing.
You'll always find meals served daily, with various options including vegetarian dishes, and CareOne pays attention to different dietary needs, making sure meals are nutritious and fit for every resident. Residents get complimentary transportation for appointments or getting out into the community-whether it's regular group trips to Walmart, Target, Goodwill, or the local restaurants and library. The activity staff works hard, and there's always a schedule full of things to do, like arts and crafts, fitness classes, special meals, devotions, group celebrations, and other recreational or educational activities both on and off-site.
Beauty services, devotional programs, and plenty of space to gather with friends or family are easy to access. Residents can use dedicated parking, and families often take part in care discussions, helping to make everyone feel included and well-informed. Staff know how to handle advanced care needs, including assisted living, sub-acute rehabilitation, post-acute care, skilled nursing, and long-term care for those recovering from injury or living with serious illnesses. They also provide special programs, like cardiac care, diabetes support, hypertension management, stroke recovery, wound care, and respiratory care-with things like ventilator weaning and pulmonary rehabilitation. Physician specialists stop by for consults, and the clinical staff includes dementia-certified caregivers backed by a full-time dementia care specialist, so memory care is focused on those with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia, including secure areas and custom care plans.
Hospice, palliative care, and even long-term acute care hospital services are available for those with advanced illness or near the end of life. For those who'd rather stay at home, CareOne also provides home care and independent living options. The setting is homey, and staff try hard to treat everyone like family, always working with residents' families and focusing on what helps each person reach their best day-to-day. Meals are made from quality ingredients, and anyone can enjoy beautifully landscaped courtyards and quiet rooms for relaxation. The facility has earned awards, including recognition as one of U.S. News and World Report's Best Nursing Homes for 2024, and it stands out for hospital-level programs that cover everything from infection disease care to psychiatric services.
