Runk & Pratt at Forest

Runk & Pratt at Forest offers both assisted living and memory care in a quiet, home-like setting with private, furnished rooms and private bathrooms, so folks get some privacy and independence, while also having help nearby if they need it. The staff, including licensed nurses and caregivers, can help with bathing, dressing, grooming, eating, medication reminders, and supervision, and they keep an emergency call system going day and night. Memory care includes special programs and areas to help people with dementia or Alzheimer's feel safe and calm, like color-coded hallways, a secure building with delayed exit doors, and a multisensory room that feels gentle on the nerves. Residents can use cable TV, Wi-Fi, phone service, and kitchenettes, and everyone gets access to laundry, housekeeping, and meal services with choices for special diets if needed. There's a full activity calendar with things to do like music, arts, movies, gardening, fitness, library time, and lots of games, and there are both staff-organized activities and things residents run themselves. People can spend time in different common spaces, gardens, and enclosed courtyards, and can head out on planned trips with help from staff. Nurses are on site up to 16 hours a day, and there's always someone available if someone calls for help, and medical professionals visit regularly for checkups and therapy, including physical, occupational, and speech therapy. Other practical things are in place too, like secure building entry, 24-hour fire, smoke, and sprinkler monitoring, and parking for residents and visitors. The family-owned management tries to help everyone settle in and treats residents with dignity and care, adjusting each care plan as a person's needs change, and they even keep an eye on mental and emotional health with help from a geriatric psychiatrist and regular reviews. A beauty shop and a wellness room let residents relax a bit, and flexible meals and activities help people stay social and active. There's a strong focus on helping people keep their independence while getting help where they need it, and the mix of private spaces, skilled staff, medical oversight, and a steady routine of activities makes daily living smooth and safe for both those who want a bit of help and those who need much closer care.
