Ruthaven Senior Care Home offers an inviting and compassionate environment specifically designed to provide exceptional, individualized care for seniors. With a distinctive emphasis on creating a true haven rather than merely a facility, Ruthaven sets itself apart by accommodating just 14 residents, ensuring each individual receives focused and personalized attention. The community’s dedicated team is comprised of certified nursing staff who develop and follow customized care plans tailored to each resident’s unique needs, promoting dignity and independence wherever possible.
The expertise at Ruthaven extends to seniors facing memory loss, including those living with dementia or Alzheimer's. The team understands the unique challenges this presents and provides daily assistance with personal care, medication management, nutritious home-cooked meals, and thoughtfully planned activities that stimulate both mind and body. Around-the-clock awake staff are always present to offer assistance as needed, prioritizing safety, well-being, and the reassurance of responsive care at any hour. Residents can expect to have the details of their daily lives attended to with respect and empathy, making Ruthaven much more than a place to live—it truly becomes a comforting refuge.
Ruthaven recognizes the emotional and physical demands placed upon families caring for seniors, offering specialized respite care for short-term stays and daycare services. These options allow caregivers the flexibility to manage personal responsibilities or simply take a much-needed break, knowing their loved one is spending time in a secure and enriching environment. Short-term residents receive the same exceptional level of service as those who make Ruthaven their long-term home, ensuring continuity and peace of mind.
Care at Ruthaven is comprehensive, with support for residents who are insulin-dependent diabetics, as well as those on hospice or comfort measures. Coordination with home health services, physical therapy, and occupational therapy is available to enhance each resident’s health and quality of life. Residents can also choose to receive in-facility primary care provider visits from The Home Doctor, adding another layer of convenience and coordinated care. The loving staff is equipped to support individuals with behavioral needs or those in need of total care, always adapting to each situation with warmth and professionalism.
The thoughtfully designed environment at Ruthaven encourages socialization and connection, with shift caregivers similar to an assisted living model, more residents to engage with, and a spacious building featuring a secure courtyard and a round-a-bout walking path. This design enables residents to enjoy freedom of movement and natural beauty within a safe setting. Sweetheart suites are available for couples, allowing them to remain together in comfort while receiving any care they require.
Getting to know each resident as an individual is central to the Ruthaven philosophy. The staff take time to learn about each person's life—discovering the family they loved, the careers they pursued, their proudest achievements, and the little things that bring them happiness or comfort. By fostering these genuine connections, Ruthaven ensures that every resident is treated not just as a patient, but as a valued member of a close-knit community.
