Richland Square has a one-story building with easy entry doors and a courtyard where people can walk, sit, or try the putting green, and it feels peaceful and safe. They use terms like Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care, and Skilled Nursing so residents can get the exact help they need, and there's a care plan for everyone, whether someone just wants freedom or needs daily support. Residents have private apartment-style homes with different floor plans, some with kitchenettes, all with full, handicap-equipped baths, emergency call systems, and enough space for wheelchairs or walkers, and the property has lots of room choices and open common spaces for hobbies and visits. There's an on-site nurse available 24/7, on-call doctors, and staff trained specially for dementia or memory challenges, using a program called Pathways to Discovery, and they stay close by if residents need help day or night, including cueing and supervision for memory care. People who need diabetic care, medication, or help with bathing, dressing, eating, and getting around can ask for that, and staff run daily safety checks, respond to emergencies, help prevent falls, and can remind folks to use the restroom if needed.
Families don't have to worry because all the staff have background checks, drug screening, immunization records, and references checked before they start, and there's extra monitoring to keep the place safe, with secured doors, bracelet technology for those prone to wandering, and a memory care area in a separate area of the building. Richland Square allows cats and dogs, and there's guest parking, so family can visit often, and everyone can enjoy home-style meals with choices, including vegetarian, in a restaurant-style dining room where people like to talk and linger after meals. Besides the meals, there's snacks, transportation to appointments and shopping, laundry, linen, and room cleaning each week, plus in-house maintenance, so residents don't have to worry about chores.
People can do as much or as little as they want-join trips out, play games, do crafts, garden in the patio areas, visit the fitness center, go to onsite worship services, or just relax in their private space. The staff organizes social clubs, music, arts, wellness exercises, group brain fitness, and even has a full-time activity director who plans events and off-site outings, so there's always something going on. Special memory care programming is run by a team who understand Alzheimer's and dementia because they train closely with experts, and the place is designed to handle residents who might wander or have behavior challenges. There's lots of little touches, like illuminated entryways, cable TV, Wi-Fi, phone hookups, closets, and climate controls in every unit, and people can count on help with their daily needs, as much or as little as wanted. Richland Square doesn't take Medicaid, but accepts private pay, checks, long-term care insurance, and Veterans Aid, and it lets people stay as their needs change with aging in place, so families don't have to move their loved one to another building if care needs go up.
