Shire At Culverton Adult Home

Shire At Culverton Adult Home, open since September 30, 2016, sits in Rochester, NY, and offers assisted living care for seniors 55 and older who need help with daily tasks while still valuing some independence, and the place can take in up to 200 residents with options for short-term or long-term stays, so caregivers can get respite care when needed and those nearing the end of life can receive hospice care too, plus, the facility supports people with memory loss in a secured area and has bracelets for wander management, and if somebody needs more help, like insulin doses, medication management, or support for diabetic care, non-ambulatory care, or incontinence, the staff is trained for that, and nurses, therapists, and visiting health professionals come by or work on site, including occupational, physical, and language therapy, and homecare is available if needed, with someone awake 24 hours every day. Residents get three homemade meals a day, with diet modifications for diabetes or high blood pressure if required, and the eating options include an onsite dining area like a café or bistro and guest meals; there's daily housekeeping, laundry, and a mobile or on-site beautician if people want a haircut or some personal care, and you'll find both an indoor and outdoor common area, a yard, a reading room, a TV lounge, recreational and game rooms, and spaces for music, art, movies, exercise classes, bingo, spelling bees, discussion groups, crafts, and ceramics, so there's always a chance to stay busy, meet people, and get involved. Shire At Culverton has a wellness and entertainment program which brings in animal therapy, music therapy, tabletop games, outdoor activities, as well as special events like Octoberfest, BBQ and band concerts, holiday balls, and spring balls, and there are devotional services on site and transportation for medical appointments, errands, and spiritual trips, with complimentary options and resident parking, and transportation is wheelchair accessible, while the whole building, including showers and full tubs in bathrooms, is also set up for people who use mobility aids, and transfers for those who need extra help are available. Residents can choose from several room types, including studio, semi-private, 1-bedroom, or 2-bedroom units, with prices starting at $2495 monthly for semi-private, $2815 for a 1-bedroom, and $3855 for a 2-bedroom, and smokers can use designated outdoor areas. There's a gift shop with snacks and cards, and, since the place is family owned and operated, the feeling stays personal and homelike, with a staff who tries to keep a resident-first outlook in all the care and activity planning, following current senior care standards, and anyone staying can submit work orders for repairs and make use of on-site support, and payments can come from private pay, social security, veterans' benefits, or insurance, but there are fees for the community, for respite services, and for extra care as needed, and while the BBB rating stands at A+ despite a lack of accreditation, the facility holds a license from New York State. The focus is all about supporting the different needs and activity levels of residents-physical, mental, and social-and giving enough options so people can feel comfortable, safe, and part of a community, without having to be alone or worry about daily chores.
