Chapman House is a distinguished assisted living community with a rich heritage dating back to 1887, dedicated exclusively to supporting senior ladies aged 65 or older who require residential level care. Known for its homey and welcoming atmosphere, Chapman House ensures every resident experiences warmth, love, and safety from the attentive staff and a nurturing environment that fosters a strong sense of belonging. The community is intentionally sized to host fewer than 100 people, which allows the team to provide highly personalized care and support to each resident.
Each resident at Chapman House enjoys the privacy and comfort of her own one-bedroom, one-bathroom suite. The staff work closely with new and current residents to place each individual in accommodations that best meet her needs, further contributing to the sense of individualized care. The facility is thoughtfully designed with amenities and services that enrich daily life, including an on-site beauty salon, in-house banking services, and a dining experience featuring nutritious and delicious meals. Residents are supported by staff members trained in diabetes and insulin management, and mobility aids such as walkers, canes, and oxygen are welcome.
Chapman House prides itself on creating an environment reminiscent of a grand hotel, brimming with spirit, laughter, and opportunities for residents to reminisce and share memories of the past. The activity calendar is full of diverse and engaging programs, such as exercise classes, movies, morning coffee sessions, crafts with Carly or games, Bingo, and live entertainment. Sheryll, the Activity Coordinator, is central to managing and facilitating these activities, ensuring that even during transitions in department staffing, residents continue to enjoy a vibrant schedule. Modifications to activity offerings are sometimes necessary during staffing changes, but the commitment to providing stimulating and joyful experiences remains unwavering.
The community values connections not only among residents and staff but also with families. The secure outdoor courtyard is a favorite space for family visits, particularly during warmer months when tables, chairs, and the screened gazebo are available. Chapman House recognizes the importance of emergency preparedness and safety throughout the building, overseen by Bob, the Maintenance Director. Families are invited to participate in seasonal room organization and spring cleaning, with Bob available to assist as needed, all while adhering to safety regulations concerning personal appliances and prohibited items for resident rooms.
Inventory management is taken seriously at Chapman House, with residents or their responsible parties completing inventory sheets upon admission and annually thereafter, to keep track of personal valuables and property. The facility is committed to ensuring all personal belongings are documented and that lists are updated by clinical staff when items are removed or added.
Chapman House also invests in ongoing collaboration and learning for families through initiatives like the monthly Partners in Care Family Meetings, held in conjunction with Andwell Health Partners. These gatherings are designed to foster communication, share resources, and engage families in conversations that help shape future goals and strategies for continued excellence in service amidst the complexities of the care system.
Through attentive care, a vibrant lifestyle, and a close-knit community feel, Chapman House stands as a beacon of quality assisted living for senior ladies, continually honoring its legacy while prioritizing the happiness, health, and well-being of every resident.
