Lemoyne Place

Lemoyne Place has been serving seniors since 1948 and is known for its small, family feel where the owners are involved with the residents, and folks who live there can decorate their suites with their own furniture and keepsakes from home, which is something people really seem to appreciate. The community has both assisted living and independent living for adults age 55 and up, so some people get help with things like bathing, dressing, or managing their medicines, but can still keep a good bit of independence if they want it. For those with memory loss, including Alzheimer's or dementia, Lemoyne Place has special memory care with safety and support built in, and staff keep an eye on things 24 hours a day. They have respite care for those needing a short stay, and they welcome adults for adult day care too, which can be handy if family needs a break or has other things to do for the day. The place offers activities for residents to socialize, join in devotional groups, and take part in educational or fun events, both onsite and offsite, so people aren't just stuck in their rooms. There are gardens, including tomatoes folks can tend, indoor common rooms, and nice spaces for people to gather or relax. Meals are made by chefs and meal planners, and they have won some awards for that-and also for being friendly and the variety of activities. Staff helps residents who have issues with incontinence if they're able to help themselves, and they monitor diabetic residents' blood sugar though they can't give injections. Lemoyne Place can provide on-site rehabilitation, hospice, and home health care if someone's needs change, and transportation is available for appointments. The building is close to hospitals and doctors, which can help in emergencies or for regular visits. There are rooms in different sizes, like studios and one- or two-bedroom apartments, and some semi-private units, so people can pick what works for them. Seniors get housekeeping, nutritious meals three times a day, and personalized care that fits their needs at the time, all under a woman-owned business that's won praise for focusing on community and well-being. Pricing includes private pay and veteran's benefits; there's a community fee, respite stays cost $80 a day, and the cost goes up if higher levels of care are needed. The whole place runs around the clock and has staff who're awake at night in case someone needs help in the middle of the night, and the overall aim is to help people live comfortably and safely for as long as they can.
