The community has 34 licensed beds and offers several types of senior care, including assisted living, independent living, memory care, and nursing home support, all under one roof, and folks can move between care levels as needs change. The building's wheelchair accessible, and the property has a secured section made especially for residents with dementia and Alzheimer's, using tools like bracelets that keep residents safe from wandering.
Staff at Providence Place help with things like dressing, bathing, brushing teeth, eating, and managing medicines, and there's always someone awake and available 24/7, speaking multiple languages including English, Cantonese, Mandarin, Spanish, Russian, and Tagalog. Residents can enjoy both indoor and outdoor spaces, have wheelchair accessible showers, and take part in a structured program with arts, music, games, and community activities run by residents themselves, and folks say the staff act with kindness and joy, making the place warm and friendly.
