Coal Creek Post Acute and Assisted Living stays open 24 hours a day, so residents always have help if they need it, and the staff includes licensed nurses around the clock, which makes it easier for people to get care for simple needs and more complex health problems too, because the community covers wound care, complex wound management, pain control, medication support and education, IV therapy, intravenous tube feeding, enteral feeding, diabetic care and education, colostomy and ileostomy help, catheter assistance, bladder and bowel programs, and even Alzheimer's or dementia care, which is important for older adults who want to stay as independent as possible while still getting help with health issues, and each resident has a personal care plan that guides their support, all overseen by an on-site Medical Director and a Director of Nursing who make sure medical needs don't get ignored.
Highly skilled nurses and caregivers work here day and night, doing everything from helping residents bathe or dress, to walking them to the dining room for three daily family-style meals where friends and visitors can come by at mealtime if they want to buy a guest tray, and for people who don't feel well the day's food or snacks can come straight to their apartment, which is handy, especially because the rooms include a microwave, sink, refrigerator, and private seating area, while apartment choices range from small studios all the way up to one-bedroom layouts, with spacious bedrooms and bathrooms that are easy for seniors to use, and of course the utilities and cable are included in the rent, except for the phone, so people don't have to spend extra time worrying about monthly bills.
The place looks modern with large courtyards, and there's room for activities and visits with family or friends, and residents can use a laundry room or get help with cleaning or linens every week, and there are on-site amenities like a beauty shop open every week for those who like to keep up with grooming, and the place welcomes pets, which can be a comfort to many folks.
There's a lot of community support too, because Coal Creek has scheduled trips out to local shops and the public library, plus planned social events and recreational activities that help residents stay active and connected, and there's always something on the calendar for people who like to keep busy, along with transportation services for appointments or errands when folks need to go somewhere but can't get there alone.
If someone needs more help with living, like reminders to take medicine or help with everyday stuff like shopping, the 24-hour staff step in as needed, and for those coming straight from the hospital or recovering after surgery or illness, there's short-term rehabilitation on-site with a state-of-the-art rehab gym and therapy programs including physical, occupational, speech, and respiratory therapy, and social workers who help people plan for the transition home or to another care setting.
The environment feels homelike and safe, with a focus on personal and compassionate care, and because Coal Creek is supported by PACS Services and has partnerships with skilled nursing and long-term care experts, the staff can really focus on improving the quality of life for each resident with help from fresh ideas on how to run things better, and with all those layers of support, the community specializes in post-acute and assisted living services, working to balance medical care, independence, and daily living in one place, which is something a lot of families look for when they're considering where a loved one should stay.
