Transportation and parking are on hand, and move-in help is available if it's needed. Staff help out day and night, with nurses on site, and they're trained to give reminders or hands-on help with bathing, dressing, grooming, transfers, and toileting, and help is always there for medication management, activity scheduling, and other daily tasks, so residents aren't left trying to manage alone.
Serenity Senior Care Home offers both assisted living and a dedicated memory care section for seniors living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and the memory care building is separate, safer for folks who tend to wander, with technology like bracelets to alert staff when a resident nears an exit, and they've also got secured doors and staff trained to prevent elopement and handle behaviors that come up with memory loss conditions. The home takes residents who need help moving, whether with mechanical lifts or two-person transfers, and handles high needs, including non-ambulatory care, diabetic and sliding scale insulin management, bowel and bladder incontinence (as long as people manage it themselves), and behavioral care for folks who act out or have big mood changes due to memory loss. There's 24-hour supervision, help coordinating with doctors, reminders for daily activities, and nurses who can check blood sugar and give medications, all aimed at giving seniors personalized attention.
Residents get group meals in a community dining room and the kitchen adjusts for special diets, including allergies and diabetes needs, plus housekeeping and laundry, including dry cleaning, are part of life here too. The staff speak English, activities are sponsored by the community, and when someone needs to use a wheelchair, assistance and transfers from bed to chair are always supported. The place focuses on support while promoting as much independence as possible, with activity choices and unique programs meant to help people stay active or engaged, but it keeps a home-like, private feel because it's a smaller residence. Pets are welcome, and there's a warm atmosphere, people say it feels safe and comfortable, and the staff seem to care about meeting each resident's individual needs. Serenity Senior Care Home doesn't post exact prices, but reports say the average is about $4,500 per month, and more info is usually available by phone or online, where families also leave honest reviews and ratings.
