East Village Place sits as a senior living community that offers a broad range of care, so folks can stay as their needs change, and you find everything from independent living to assisted living, and even memory care in a purpose-built building for those with Alzheimer's and dementia, on up to long-term skilled nursing, hospice care, and options for home health and non-medical care with Medicare certification for those who need it. The community has 24-hour staff, including nurses, and there's always someone awake for safety, with technology like alarm bracelets and a wander alert system in the secured areas, especially important for residents who might be at risk of wandering or who show signs of behavior changes. The staff is often described as kind and helpful, taking care to communicate updates to families and give attention to what each person wants and needs, and they're also trained to help with things like personal care-bathing, dressing, grooming-and provide help for activities of daily living and managing behaviors that come up with different health conditions.
The campus features several amenities, including a library, salon, barbershop, a beauty parlor, a coffee shop, outdoor courtyards and gazebos, and sitting areas both inside and outside, plus wheelchair accessible showers and buildings, a fitness center, private and community dining rooms, and places to relax indoors or out, with clean and attractive surroundings that help older adults feel comfortable and at home. There are pet-friendly policies, so residents can bring their dog or cat along, which really makes a difference to a lot of people. Assisted living residents get help with daily tasks, and those in memory care are in a specially designed unit meant to reduce confusion and keep folks safe, with plenty of staff on-hand and a secured layout.
Nutritious meals are served restaurant-style and prepared by a chef, with plenty of options for dietary needs, whether it's gluten-free, low sodium, low sugar, or vegan, and they have special offerings like their Gourmet Bites Cuisine. Residents can take part in a wide variety of activity programs-art classes, gardening, fitness programs like yoga and chair yoga, educational lectures, brain fitness programs like Dakim, cooking classes, trivia, and outings in the community, and there are community service opportunities, garden clubs, and even Wii bowling and wine tasting on the calendar, which is posted regularly. There are intergenerational activities, devotional services both onsite and offsite, and access to resident ambassadors who can help new folks feel welcome.
East Village Place offers respite care and short-term stays, and provides transportation, parking, and support with things like medication management, rehabilitation, mobility help, housekeeping, laundry and linen service, and transportation to appointments or outings. Nurses and therapy staff-including visiting nurses, podiatrists, and therapists-come on-site as needed, and there's on-site skilled nursing for those who need more support. Specialized programs like Watermark University, Prema Memory Support℠, Extraordinary Outings, EngageVR®, and activities listed in their lifestyle magazine and calendar keep residents socially, mentally, and emotionally engaged. The staff tries to keep things straightforward and reassuring, always watching out for residents' health and safety, and the community works with organizations like SAGE to support and include everyone.
The place fits a range of needs, so people can age in place, from more independent living in maintenance-free apartments for people fifty-five and older, to advanced care with licensed nurses and behavioral care, and folks at risk of elopement can also be supported safely. East Village Place aims to give seniors a greater sense of choice and active living, helping them feel at home while also having enough support nearby.
