Alma Residential Care sits inside a Tom Thumb store beside the pharmacy, which can surprise some folks at first, but it does have a home-like setting with private apartments and shared dining areas where residents gather for chef-planned, home-cooked meals that meet special dietary needs, and it's a non-smoking residence with an open door policy that lets friends and family visit any time they want. The place runs as a residential care home, licensed by the state, and the staff gets noticed for being kind, joyful, and helpful to everyone, whether it's residents, visitors, or each other, and most of the caregivers have real experience working with older adults needing a hand with daily things like bathing, dressing, eating, moving about, or remembering medications, since medication management's included every day. There's a part-time nurse and around-the-clock trained staff, so someone's always available, and people get laundry done, housekeeping each day, and transportation for shopping, medical trips, and events around town.
Alma Residential Care keeps the atmosphere relaxed and welcoming, and the setup is purposefully simple to help folks feel comfortable, minimize confusion, and encourage getting together, so you'll find activities for the body, mind, and spirit with social and recreational events, religious services if wanted, and programs designed to help residents connect and participate, either actively or just by being present, and there are daycare and respite care options, including hospice and homecare referrals if a situation changes. The building's got features for people with limited mobility and accessibility needs, plus practitioners offer physical therapy, movement assessments, and help prevent injuries with a focus on returning to everyday life, hobbies, or even athletic activities if that's important. The rate covers just about everything-a single fee pays for meals, personal care, laundry, activities, and 24/7 help, but there's a $2,000 entry fee, and there's support for people with Alzheimer's, too. Alma Residential Care stays committed to fair housing, uses technology for web features like translation and maps, and handles information in a way that helps people get in touch online or by phone.
