Whitney Place Assisted Living Residences sits as part of the SALMON Senior Living Communities and has served older adults since 1972, run by a third-generation family. The place calls its memory care program "SALMON Tapestry Memory Care," and has the "Whitney Place Adult Day Health Center," which shows they use special names for certain services and rooms. Residents live in private or shared apartments, all spacious and clean with large windows for natural light, and every room comes with a phone. The buildings and grounds are tidy, handicapped accessible, and pet-friendly, and people can walk paths or relax in gardens or at a community arts room. There's Wi-Fi, a library, a salon/barber, game rooms, and sometimes even a jacuzzi or steam room. The dining services offer three regular, home-cooked meals a day with restaurant-style dining all day, focusing on brain-healthy foods and options for clinical needs like diabetes or hypertension, plus special meals for allergies.
Whitney Place helps residents keep their independence as much as possible but gives support with daily living when it's needed, such as bathing, dressing, medication management, hygiene, and two-person transfers. Care is tailored to individuals, covering assisted living, independent living, skilled nursing, home care, respite care, memory care including special Alzheimer's and dementia support, and continuing care. Staff help with all sorts of personal tasks, offer 24-hour supervision, assist with moving in, and use a call system for emergencies. Residents get housekeeping, laundry, dry cleaning, and a mobile hairdresser or stylist if wanted. The staff's known for being caring, stable, and joyful, and they have a low turnover, which means most people working there have been around awhile.
Activities fill the days with a schedule of fitness classes, arts, music, movie nights, game nights, animal therapy, and tabletop games, plus social evening events, community outings, and transportation for appointments, shopping, or worship. Residents can get involved with planning programs or running activities themselves, and support is there for families with resources, advice, and a senior housing resource library. Community-sponsored events and the daily programs aim to keep folks engaged. Whitney Place likes to provide a home-like, secure, and comfortable setting, where residents stay as independent as possible-help comes as needed, and the aim is always to give peace of mind. Their set-up fits up to 26 residents, which puts it in the medium-sized assisted living category, and it gets recognized for good activities and senior living by outside groups, but it sticks to simple, friendly service. The whole place keeps seniors' needs in mind, from supportive environments and a safe, warm atmosphere, through tools for planning and finding senior care, to lots of options for living and care as needs change.
