Islands Assisted Living Facility, The, licensed as #4690 for Assisted Living with 18 beds, sits close to bus lines and public transportation, which makes coming and going easier for residents and their visitors, and you'll notice right away that they keep things small on purpose so each person gets more personal care and attention in a home-like, group setting where the staff know everyone by name and treat them kindly, providing round-the-clock care for all support levels, whether someone needs a little or a lot of help with bathing, dressing, eating, toileting, or transferring, even for those who use wheelchairs or lifts. The place offers board and care home services meant for small groups, and staff members help with activities like meals, hygiene, medication management, and reminders for grooming or using the restroom, which works especially well for people who have trouble remembering details or managing on their own, while still giving as much independence as possible. There's a full calendar of social, educational, and entertaining activities-movie nights, group gatherings, devotional services, walks along safe paths, and both indoor and outdoor spaces where residents can relax or join in with neighbors. They've got a dining room for shared meals, and they serve food that can be made kosher if that's needed, taking special diets seriously to suit each resident's needs. Every resident's room is furnished, comes with a phone, and the housekeeping services just keep things easy, so folks don't have to worry about cleaning. The facility's got services for transportation, taking residents out for appointments, medical visits, devotional activities, or simple outings, and they've got plenty of parking on-site for those who drive.
The focus of care here stays on residents' dignity and well-being, offering all sorts of support such as respite care, behavioral management, and care for those with incontinence or changing health, making sure residents who need lighter, medium, or heavy care can still stay in their familiar space even as needs change over time. There's emergency alert systems in place and 24-hour staff, with a nurse on staff and a doctor on call for medical issues and emergencies, and specialized care for those with diabetes-even blood sugar checks and insulin shots if needed. The memory care section is built and secured to look after folks with Alzheimer's and dementia, and it's in a separate area for extra safety, with security measures like a computerized system and special bracelets that make alarms go off if someone tries to go somewhere unsafe, which helps protect residents at risk of wandering or elopement, and staff in that section have extra training for handling serious behavior problems with compassion and calm. The team works with healthcare providers and families to make sure each resident gets a personalized care plan, and they keep up with changing needs, offering behavioral care for residents who act out or show signs of aggression, always aiming to keep the atmosphere both safe and respectful for everyone. The group home feeling, small staff-to-resident ratio, simple setup, and steady daily routines help create a sense of comfort, privacy, and community, so every person living there gets to feel at home and maintain their dignity while receiving the help they need.
