Stewart House Retirement Living sits in a friendly neighborhood where staff and residents know each other by name, and you really see that when you walk in, since community tours are set up for anyone thinking about moving or even for those already living there, and the team is always ready to show people around, introduce the staff, and talk about the daily routines. Stewart House is locally owned and family operated, and the owner is seen around the building most days, making sure everyone gets a homelike atmosphere where people get treated like part of the family, which many folks really appreciate since life in the building tends to feel more like being with friends than in a big facility, and the staff works to help residents with daily needs like housekeeping, laundry, bathing, and meals. They do grocery shopping trips and offer transportation to errands, pharmacies, and nearby doctors, and residents get meals every day with choices for special diets like vegetarian, diabetic, low fat, or low salt, plus they accommodate allergies and have guest meals for visitors. The building has studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and semi-private rooms, and all rooms offer WiFi, cable TV, kitchenettes or kitchen appliances, comfortable dining areas, and sometimes even furniture if needed, with guest parking and options for guests to stay overnight.
The grounds have a community garden, walking paths, and spots for outdoor activities, even though pets can't live there, and organized group outings or field trips happen regularly. Residents can take part in activities like arts and crafts, music, games, educational programs, movie nights, devotional and spiritual services, or spend quiet time in the library, lounge, or arts room. Fitness and wellness are important, and the building has stretching and yoga programs plus a salon for hair care or other treatments, so people can keep up with regular self-care. Staff assists with medication management and reminders and help residents monitor their insulin if they're diabetic, and there's always someone on staff, twenty-four hours a day, with a nurse on part-time if health needs change, and a comprehensive call system for emergencies. People who stay short-term for respite care get the same support as anyone else, and everyone has access to scheduled events, social groups, and meal service.
The building is fully wheelchair accessible and has support for those who need help with moving from bed to chair or with walking. Staff members help with bathing, dressing, and incontinence care if needed, and there's extra attention for people who need non-ambulatory or memory care, so families can feel more confident about difficult health needs. Payments are set up with checks and can include private pay, social security, or veterans' benefits, and the pricing breakdown depends on the level of care, the type of residence, and the length of stay, including community, respite, and buy-in fees. Stewart House Retirement Living is licensed under state license PCH009907 and has received awards like Best of Senior Living All Star, which residents and families seem to value since it reflects their day-to-day experience. Most folks note the strong sense of community, the easy camaraderie among residents and staff, and the way Stewart House handles basic but important things like meals, safe supervision, help with chores, and comfortable rooms, so residents can enjoy visiting with each other, going to classes, or just relaxing in a safe, homelike environment.
