Bella Wood Senior Living sits in a quiet Jemison, Alabama neighborhood and offers care and support for adults 55 and over in a small, friendly community with just 16 licensed beds. The place leans into a home-like feeling with semi-private and some single rooms, country-style meals, and a sunroom where folks can relax or visit with each other, which gives it a quieter and more personal touch. Staff help residents with bathing, dressing, grooming, walking, and taking medicine, and there's always someone around because there's an in-house doctor, nurse practitioner, and part-time nurse on staff. The place serves three meals daily with Southern cooking, plus snacks and special diets like low salt, and the dining area feels like a shared family table with room service options for those who need it. The facility stays busy with activities like game nights, arts and crafts, offsite trips, a cooking club, music groups, and story time, along with things like religious services and scheduled outings, so folks usually find a way to stay connected if they want to.
There are specific programs for people needing memory care, respite care for short stays, as well as support with things like healthcare management and physical therapy, and there's an onsite pharmacy and salon. The building has cable TV, wifi internet, laundry and housekeeping services, maintenance, and access to guest parking. Residents can use transportation services for appointments and errands, and there are wellness and fitness programs for those who'd like to stay active. The community keeps family involved with a strong sense of togetherness, and people say the staff there act more like friends or neighbors. Bella Wood welcomes adults 55 and up who want some independence but may need help sometimes, and it works with Medicaid only, including VA Aid Assistance. The place lets people pay by check, card, and insurance, and uses a standard entry fee of $1,000. Pets aren't allowed in most rooms, though exceptions happen case by case. The main focus stays on helping residents live as independently as possible, with plenty of help close by if or when it's needed, and the aim is to support a comfortable, easy everyday life that feels familiar. The staff speak English and make sure daily needs like cleaning, laundry, cooking, and personal care are met, and residents have access to community areas wired for cable and internet for news or entertainment, with barber or salon services available onsite. Bella Wood Senior Living works to blend support and independence in a small, close-knit place, giving seniors a safe setting to age with dignity.
