Sunny Side Retirement Home has 34 apartments and senior living units where people can choose between studios, one-bedroom, or shared apartments, and there are even in-room washers and dryers if that's something someone likes, and you'll see each apartment gets regular housekeeping and laundry, so not much to worry about when it comes to cleaning and maintenance, which is handy if you don't get around like you used to. The place offers assisted living, memory care, and regular senior living, so care looks different for each person, and the staff do personalized needs assessments for every resident and then offer support with daily things like bathing, grooming, eating, moving from a bed to a wheelchair, monitoring diabetes, and physical therapy services whenever that's necessary, plus they've got people who help with medication and doctors do monthly checks. For folks with Parkinson's, they have staff who know what to do and programs meant to help keep people moving and safe.
Dining is all taken care of, with meals served three times a day-breakfast, lunch, and dinner-and snacks in between, and cooks will make special meals for those with dietary needs or for celebrating birthdays and other events, which adds a nice touch on special days. The home lets people bring small pets, so you'll see a few animals around for company, and if you like to be busy, the calendar's always full with daily recreational activities, arts and crafts, games, fitness classes, movie nights, socials, and both community-led activities and ones run by residents themselves; there's even a library, computer room, fitness room, games and entertainment area, art room, and a movie room if you want to be indoors, along with gardens, patios, and scenic walking paths outside for when you want some fresh air.
There are added services like help with moving in, optional concierge services for things like dry cleaning or errands, and transportation if someone needs to get to an appointment or wants to join off-site trips and picnics. Security's a focus too, with a 24-hour security system, keyless keypad entry, and emergency alert systems, and staff are present at all hours to respond if anything happens. Family and friends are included, with regular gatherings planned so people stay connected, and the staff, who all speak English, aim to make living comfortable, with everything tailored to individual needs whether that's more support, social opportunities, or simply a quiet place to read in the well-stocked library. Sunny Side Retirement Home, managed by Homestead and led by President Mr. Michael Wellmon, is a corporation and part of a Continuing Care Retirement Community; though it doesn't have BBB accreditation, people here find there's a sense of reliability and routines that make life a bit easier for seniors looking for help with living and ways to stay active.
