Current phone...
SIP-T30P - Single line entry level IP phone | Yealink

Cordless...
W73H - Professional Business DECT Phone System | Yealink

Having personally set up and worked with Cisco phones and Cisco call manager software, this system looks a lot like that. You cannot plug any phone into it nor get any adapter and have it work. Their call manager software needs to know and understand the phone to provision it.

I’d talk with the assisted living facility and see if they have a solution. I’m sure their networking group or IT group can help. It might be something as easy as a Bluetooth handset, or a separate cordless phone they would provide. But it would need to be set up in their call manager software before it would work.
