Decatur West Personal Care gives older adults a place to live with support that fits many different needs, and you'll see right away how many things they have for people to do, with gardens outside if you want fresh air, and a library, computer center, and gaming room for days indoors, and there's a fitness room, swimming pool, and beauty salon too, and staff always around to help at any hour even in the night, and if you need help with things like bathing, moving from your bed to a wheelchair, or using the computer, they've got people who know how to do that. The building's got full safety features, emergency pendants if something happens, air conditioning, cable TV, and internet, plus plenty of closets and a bunch of studio or one- and two-bedroom apartments, even some with their own kitchenette and private baths, and some shared suite options if you don't want to be alone. You'll get cooked meals in a restaurant-style dining room or café, and they can make pureed food too if you need it, and the staff pays close attention to special diets for folks with diabetes or Parkinson's, or those who need help with incontinence.
They offer daily social activities, devotional groups, and offsite trips, and the activities are set up so there's always a way to meet people, keep moving, or play games. They've got trained caregivers, nurses, and aides to give medication, check health often, handle physical therapy, and they know what to do for Alzheimer's, memory care, and non-ambulatory needs. If you need laundry or housekeeping, they do it, and if you need a ride to a doctor, they can help you get there, so most things are taken care of under one roof. There's a focus on making the place feel respectful and safe, and the staff tries to treat everyone with dignity. The fees depend on what care and room you pick, with options for all kinds of budgets and health levels, and you can use the home care or hospice services nearby if you want to stay in your own suite as you get older, so Decatur West Personal Care keeps things as simple and comfortable as possible for folks who want to stay active but need a little extra support as they age.
