Amber Lane Residence, which folks know as Fox Den Homes Bannock House, is a senior care community with just 8 units, making it a quieter and more personal place than larger options, and it has a friendly staff that people say are helpful, joyful, and kind, which sure helps when you're trying to settle in. The place offers a wide range of care including independent living for active older adults, assisted living for those who need a hand with daily activities like bathing or dressing, skilled nursing care, memory care for dementia or Alzheimer's, home care if you want to stay in your own house with help, hospice for comfort care, and even residential care homes for around-the-clock support within a house-like setting, so there are different options if your needs change over time and you want to stay in one community.
Memory care at Amber Lane Residence is specialized, and the staff are trained to help with the unique challenges of Alzheimer's and similar diseases, like providing reminders, using technology like alarm bracelets to prevent wandering, and having a separate, secure building so residents with dementia feel safer and more at ease, plus they do activities and brain games to help keep folks engaged. Residents dealing with major behavior issues or needing help with bowel incontinence or blood sugar monitoring (including residents who need insulin injections) can also stay here, and the staff know how to use lifts for those needing assistance moving around, whether it's a one-person or two-person transfer.
Studio apartments and private rooms give people their own space, and seniors can even keep a cat in their quarters for companionship, which some find comforting, and there's a fenced backyard outside for fresh air and safe walks along with indoor community spaces where folks can play cards, watch movies, or join weekly group trips if they choose. The facility serves nutritious meals planned by chefs, and staff help with eating if that's needed, always making sure the meals have vitamins and minerals.
Amber Lane Residence also takes care to create a supportive, close-knit atmosphere where people can get help with routine activities but keep some independence, and they encourage residents to join in activities without forcing participation. There's a focus on dignity and wellness, with discreet help for incontinence and regular reminders so folks can maintain good habits, and for those needing extra medical attention, staff provide care around the clock. The home uses Storeovernight for medication delivery, which helps make sure people get what they need on time.
