Courtyard Estates of Girard sits over at 1016 W North St in Girard, and this place looks after adults aged 65 and older who might need independent living, assisted living, or memory care, so folks can find different types of support as they age, and no need to move if needs change a bit, which always helps with peace of mind. The community has private apartments designed for seniors, each with its own kitchenette and private bathroom, plus full-size washers and dryers right there in the unit, so you don't have to worry about using shared laundry or hauling down the hall. Residents get three home-cooked meals a day, housekeeping, laundry service, and access to a 24-hour emergency response system, which helps everyone stay comfortable and safe, and the staff includes certified folks on duty around the clock, as well as a nurse who's there part-time to support health needs, help with medications, or when you need an extra hand with bathing or getting dressed.
The grounds have a garden, places to park like garages and parking lots, and a few outdoor spots where you might see a barbeque, or sit on a patio, and there's a focus on keeping things pet-friendly, so residents can keep their pets with them, though the residents take care of their own pets. There's special attention for those who might need extra help because of memory problems, like Alzheimer's, since the memory care is set up to reduce confusion and keep residents from wandering, which brings a bit of relief to families, and, when it comes to assisted living, the staff help out with the usual tough stuff like walking, getting dressed, eating, and reminders for medicine. Inside, there's WiFi and cable TV, individually controlled temperature for each apartment, closets, showers, telephone hookups, and living rooms, which makes life more comfortable.
Courtyard Estates includes lots of programs and hobbies, like tabletop games, music, and different social activities, with events meant to keep everybody's mind sharp and offer some fun, which the staff work hard to plan.
