Beatrice Place belongs to Episcopal SeniorLife Communities which has provided care to seniors for more than 150 years, and they offer a range of senior care services not found everywhere-residents can move from independent living to assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, or even hospice comfort care all within the same group of communities, and if a resident's needs change, there's priority consideration for them to move into assisted living or skilled nursing at the Episcopal Church Home. Beatrice Place has staff who cover the house 24 hours a day, there's a 24-hour call system for emergencies, and people who are non-ambulatory can get the help and supervision they need, plus there's a program director on site to make sure everything runs smoothly. The community also runs special dementia programs, including the Community Dementia Program, and hosts health and wellness education, movie nights, arts and crafts in the community arts room, and other social activities so folks can stay active and feel involved. There's regular church services, chaplain services, dining with all-day options and special diets prepared for things like allergies or diabetes, and transportation and companion services if someone finds it hard to get around or wants a little company. Residents don't need to worry about mowing the lawn, shoveling snow, interior repairs, or even what furniture to bring, since staff can help with the move-in process and take care of nearly all maintenance; there's even help with hanging up pictures or getting carpets cleaned. The grounds and buildings are kept up with exterior and interior maintenance covered in the monthly rent, and there's a security system and emergency alerts in every apartment. As part of the larger Episcopal SeniorLife Communities, Beatrice Place takes pride in being a faith-based, nonprofit group and you'll sense a strong focus on respect and compassion from staff and volunteers, as well as attention to each resident's beliefs and needs, whether you're seeking independent senior housing, assisted living, memory care, or just a safe and welcoming place to live surrounded by caring people and a familiar community.
