Shanoan Springs Residence gives seniors a place to live that feels like home, and staff stay close by day or night, ready to help if someone needs assistance getting out of bed or moving to a wheelchair, and they keep an eye on special health needs like checking blood sugar for people with diabetes. The staff includes an MDS Coordinator named Lillian Dunn, a Director of Nursing (DON) named Lillian Dodd, and an administrator named Tara West, and they work with skilled nursing staff to make sure every resident's care plan fits their needs. The nursing staff provides help with bathing, dressing, and keeping track of medicine, plus they have experts for wound care, cardiac care, post-surgery recovery, and things like tracheostomy care, IV medicines, and dialysis services if someone needs them, with access to doctors, dentists, and podiatrists making regular visits. For people healing after surgery or an illness, the rehab center and dedicated private rooms are set up to support recovery, whether someone is planning to go home or needs to move to long-term care, and hospice and respite services are also available to families as needed.
Someone living here always gets three healthy meals planned by chefs, and these meals have won awards for taste and nutrition, plus there are plenty of snacks around, because nutrition plays a big role in staying well. Residents can take part in activities meant to keep them moving and forming friendships, whether that's in indoor common rooms where small groups gather or outside in the fresh air, and there are also devotional gatherings and trips out into the community if someone wants to join. The community puts a lot of effort into being a friendly, welcoming place, and families have noticed, since Shanoan Springs Residence has received awards for friendliness and for keeping life interesting with activities every day. The staff helps with complicated care needs too, including using things like BiPAP/CPAP for breathing, catheter and incontinence care, pain management, enteral nutrition for those with feeding tubes, nebulizer treatments for breathing troubles, and oncology care, and all care ties into a personalized plan made just for each resident, based on that person's specific health conditions and wishes, so no two plans are exactly the same.
This community fits seniors who need different types of support, including those who want to stay active and social, and those who need skilled nursing, long-term care, or memory care, and some folks stay for a short stay during recovery or while families take a break, while others make it their permanent home. Shanoan Springs Residence holds to a holistic health viewpoint, paying attention not only to the medical and physical, but also the emotional and social needs through programs, meals, and everyday personal care, and there's always someone around for help with small or big problems. While the facility can feel busy and sometimes lively, the staff works to keep things running smoothly, so residents don't have to worry about their health or daily routines, and families know caring professionals are available. It's got indoor and outdoor areas to spend time, and all the latest equipment for rehab, but it never loses that home-like feeling, and that means most folks can feel comfortable settling in, no matter what level of care they might need.
