Seaton Hagerstown is a single-story senior living community that offers several care options, like Assisted Living for seniors who need some help with daily activities but don't need full-time nursing and Memory Care for people with Alzheimer's disease or dementia, using the SHINE® Memory Care program that tries to help residents stay engaged and safe. Here, some pets are welcome, and the whole place gives off a close, neighborly feeling, so residents get to know each other and the staff, who work around the clock to help with care and comfort. The rooms and suites include studios as small as 205 or 340 square feet, and while you'll find some apartments are fairly small with furniture that could use replacing, the community aims to provide a comfortable environment and offers both private and semi-private options. Residents have access to features like a well-stocked library, game and recreation rooms, TV lounge, arts and crafts studio, private courtyards, community gardens, and walking paths for outdoor activity, with daily events and activities led by a dedicated director, plus regular live entertainment and outings into the local area.
There's a salon and barber shop offering spa services, so people can take care of themselves right on site, and the dining hall serves three meals a day with friendly tableside service, including chef-prepared food and homemade desserts, which most find to be filling and high quality. You don't have to worry about chores, since the staff provides housekeeping, laundry, linen work, and maintenance, which makes for a more low-maintenance life, and residents can also take free scheduled transportation for appointments and trips off property. The community hosts in-house religious services and Bible studies, and provides a variety of wellness classes for all abilities, focusing on health and safety with 24-hour staff on site. Specialized services like respite care are also available for short-term stays, whether someone's needing a little recovery time after an illness or just giving their regular caregiver a short break. Seaton Hagerstown is licensed by the state and offers different levels of services all on the same campus, including some skilled nursing and support for both independent seniors and those who need more help. The building has a familiar, home-like feel, and even though there are some areas like older furniture or smaller rooms that could use updating, many seniors find the balance of activities, care, and staff support lets them keep up an active and social lifestyle, with the option for personalized help as their needs change.
