Granite House

Granite House sits at 321 South Main Street in Ironton, Missouri, and holds up to 60 residents in both private and semi-private rooms, with layouts like studio apartments, one-bedrooms, and two-bedroom units, and people can expect several types of care here, including assisted living, memory care for those with dementia, non-ambulatory care, incontinence help, respite stays, and even hospice care, so there's a range of support depending on needs. Granite House has a licensed staff nurse and specially trained team on site with 24-hour emergency response, plus folks will find extra services like speech and occupational therapy, transferring help, diabetic support including insulin checks, assistance with bathing or grooming, and manual feeding for those who need it. Dining is all taken care of by a culinary chef and meal planners who provide nutritious options and cater to special diets like for hypertension or diabetes, and there's a separate café where people can gather if they'd like a coffee or a snack. There's a lot of communal living with indoor common areas, a chapel, a theater for movie nights, and a communal kitchen, while outside brings walking trails and parking for residents and guests. Some extra features include a pharmacy service, routine health check-ups, flat-screen TVs in rooms, and regular housekeeping and bathroom cleaning, and Granite House adds home health support for people who need a bit more medical help right in their room. There's lots to do for staying active, like music and exercise programs, animal therapy, game areas, and creative workshops, with events and outings planned all through the month-transportation is provided for doctor trips, shopping, or faith-based activities, and some residents use a mobile hairdresser or salon on site. Whether someone enjoys reading in the book room, relaxing with fitness programs or devotionals, or joining friends for social or educational activities, there's a mix of options to fit different interests, and staff focus on routines that keep the environment calm and residents first in every decision. Granite House accepts private pay, commercial insurance, veterans' benefits, and social security for payment, and there are several costs like a community fee, respite and buy-in fees, and different rates depending on care level or a second person in the room. The goal is to help people with daily life, keep them safe, and give them a place where medical needs and personal care are well covered, with respect for every resident's comfort and routine, and for people who need help moving between beds and wheelchairs or extra support with health issues, the staff are always standing by.
