The licensed facility has space for up to five residents and provides both private rooms and a home-like setting with furnishings, air conditioning, and private telephones, making sure that each resident has comfort and privacy while giving them access to cable TV, dish or satellite options, and fast guest Wi-Fi. Residents get meals served in the dining room, enjoy home-cooked meal preparation, and receive help with housekeeping and laundry, plus garden and patio areas for fresh air and outdoor walks. There's an emergency call system and 24-hour supervision for safety, so families can trust that prompt support is always available.
Residents can join activities like movie nights, arts and crafts, gardening, exercise classes, holiday get-togethers, bingo, birthday parties, and quiet time in an arts room, and there's a salon/barber area for haircuts. The staff help with daily needs such as bathing, dressing, grooming, transfers, and medication management, with personalized care plans that change as residents' needs change. The care team has special training for dementia, mental health, and development disabilities, supporting memory care and complex care such as traumatic brain injury and quadriplegia needs. A traveling doctor, podiatrist, pharmacy delivery, and visits from nurses, therapists, and dietitians make sure medical needs get regular attention, and there's physical, occupational, and speech therapy available through home health.
Residents have quiet areas for reading, spiritual activities, and private time, and the facility welcomes pet visits from family and friends, though pets don't live on-site. Highlands Best Care maintains licensed standards with regular safety and health checks and a high caregiver-to-resident ratio for close support. Special diet needs get careful attention, and residents get support for vision or hearing impairments when needed. The two locations-one on NE 10th Place and one on Shelton Ave NE-allow for some choice in environment.
