Saint Anthony's Adult Care Home

Saint Anthony's Adult Care Home sits in a quiet spot with pretty views and has a homey, comfortable feeling, especially since the staff don't wear scrubs which helps everyone feel more at ease, and you'll find only about 6 or 7 residents living there at a time, so everyone gets familiar faces and a close-knit group. The staff stay on site around the clock, so if someone needs help with getting up, moving around, or reminders for medication, someone's always close by, and there are both nurses and a doctor on call for any needs or sudden changes that come up, plus they bring in help for things like physical or speech therapy, and they'll even work with sliding scale therapy for diabetes, with staff handling blood sugar checks and insulin shots when that's needed. The building is secure to help folks with dementia, cutting down on wandering, and the memory care program gives people with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia a better shot at enjoying their days, with activities and programs meant to keep them engaged and safe, and they really work with each person's needs, from offering reminders to helping out with transfers, even using lifts or two-person transfers if necessary. Both studio and semi-private rooms let folks choose between more private or shared spaces, with prices around $3,500 to $4,000 a month, and the setting stays very clean and feels just like a regular house, not like some big institution. The staff have a reputation for being cheerful and kind, and residents get amenities like beauty and barber services along with meals made fresh and served three times a day, always keeping special diets in mind. There's help for incontinence and plenty of options for activities-gardening, music therapy, pet visits, and board games-plus spacious outdoor porches and a safe courtyard for spending quiet time or seeing family. Transportation's available for appointments, shopping, and local worship, so it's pretty easy to stay active, and families say the staff keep them well updated. You'll find a library with internet and media, too, for anyone who likes to read or be online. Saint Anthony's aims for a place where adults can keep as much independence as possible while still getting steady support in a gentle, respectful way.
