Miss Bell's Assisted Living at Waterford Landing is a small care facility in Johnston County, North Carolina, and their homes are also found in peaceful neighborhoods around Raleigh, Garner, and Fuquay Varina where you'll see just six residents living together, so the care stays really personal and everyone gets treated with respect and dignity, and you can always tell they keep things feeling like family, with open communication and a relaxed pace. Each resident can bring their own furniture into private or semi-private rooms that have air conditioning, accessible showers, and in-room cable TV and Wi-Fi, and you'll also find common spaces like a large family room for gathering, indoor areas for group activities, and an interior courtyard where folks with memory issues can get fresh air safely. The big garden and outdoor sitting areas give people space to enjoy the seasons or watch birds, and offsite trips sometimes include parks, retail shops, celebrations, or live music. Meals come three times a day with snacks, and the kitchen staff handles diets like low sodium, low sugar, and vegetarian meals if needed.
Staff are always around, 24/7, including a licensed nurse and certified caregivers, and the trained team provides help with daily activities, medication management, feeding tube care, gentle reminders, toileting, and even more involved things like injections, behavioral support, catheter or colostomy care, and two-person assist care for folks with more needs. Medical Alert Systems, Home Care, and community Medical Guardian Review programs are all in place, and there's on-call doctor visits, scheduled nursing and therapy appointments, plus in-house hairdressing and laundry. Safety's a big focus, with secure exits, alarm systems, fire safety setups, and security guards, and memory care gets special attention, with dementia-trained caregivers helping residents who have Alzheimer's or other cognitive conditions, managing symptoms like wandering or aggression, and keeping everyone involved in daily routines and activities, both physical and social.
Miss Bell's offers both assisted living and memory care as part of a broader range of services under one roof, covering independent living, companion care, and even continuum-of-care steps if someone's health changes. Residents can take part in exercise classes, yoga, chair yoga, and stretching, and there's always daily activities planned for mental, social, and physical enrichment. Housekeeping's taken care of, and there are both private phone lines and church ministry visits for those who want spiritual support. The facility's very open with families, with ongoing family partnerships to keep everyone in the loop about care, schedules, and changes. The low resident-to-staff ratio-three residents for every one caregiver-means folks don't wait long for help, which makes aging in place much easier and more comfortable.
