    About House of Psalms

    House of Psalms is a senior living community that takes care of people 55 and older, offering assisted living, memory care for Alzheimer's and dementia, and options for those needing nursing or long-term care, and it sits under the management of Gilead West Care Services LLC. The facility can support up to 23 residents, with more than 7,000 square feet of comfortable living space, neat bedrooms, wide hallways, and shared areas including a library, barber/salon, and spots to sit and talk. House of Psalms has wheelchair accessible rooms and showers, a newly remodeled kitchen and living spaces, and a dining room where residents get three meals and snacks every day, focusing on healthy and tasty food, and special meal planning for diabetes.

    There's help for daily activities like bathing, dressing, and medication, supported by a staff that's awake around the clock, so somebody's always there if help's needed, plus medication monitoring and a 24-hour call system. Residents can join devotional activities offsite or pick from daily activities in arts, gardening, music, or games, and the facility organizes transportation for doctor's visits, errands, and other outing events as well. There's a schedule of events with social gatherings, movie nights, and even a big 62-inch plasma TV that folks seem to enjoy.

    Consistent housekeeping and personal laundry keep things clean, while the layout allows for resident parking and easy movement, even for those who need a two-person transfer or use a wheelchair. The memory care program has security in mind, with bracelets that ring alarms to help keep folks from wandering, making it safer for those at risk of elopement. The staff keeps up with dietary needs and doctor's suggestions, and residents need to manage their own blood sugar tests and insulin for diabetic care.

    The management, led by YanLing Chen, focuses on respect and a loving, responsible environment, and the place is known for its cleanliness and the kindness of staff. Residents get access to physician consultations, dental and legal assistance, and extra support if they're recovering from illness or surgery. House of Psalms aims to offer a genuine home-like setting, with programs intended to help residents feel content and involved, whether they're independent, need some help, or require full care over the long term.
