The Mitchell House of Powell is a residential care home that offers several levels of care for seniors, including assisted living, nursing care, and memory care in a small, sociable setting. The community helps with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, toileting, meals, and medication support, and they've got staff on duty 24 hours a day who are trained to provide awake supervision and care, which can mean one or two person transfers or even the use of mechanical lifts if someone needs heavy care or can't walk on their own. Family outreach and education are part of the services, so loved ones can stay involved. Residents who need help because of memory loss, Alzheimer's disease, or other types of dementia live in a secure section that's designed to keep them safe, with alarms and bracelets to help prevent wandering, and there are personalized care plans and memory-enhancing activities that keep people as engaged as possible.
The facility has both indoor and outdoor common areas for relaxing or taking part in activities, along with a community dining room and an outdoor garden. Regular social and arts activities, TV and movie nights, and wellness programs help keep everyone as active as they want to be, and there are devotional services onsite for those who want spiritual support. Residents can see a nurse, podiatrist, dentist, physical therapist, occupational therapist, or speech therapist on a visiting basis, and the staff can help with high medical needs, incontinence care, blood sugar monitoring, and even insulin injections for those with diabetes. Meals suit many different diets, including kosher and vegetarian options, and the facility provides laundry, housekeeping, and pet visitation services. There's a salon and barbershop onsite for haircuts, and residents' rooms come with tubs or wheelchair-accessible showers.
The Mitchell House has an aging-in-place philosophy, so as residents' needs increase, they can usually stay in the same community, and there's also respite care for short-term stays and hospice care. The setting feels warm and comfortable, and the way staff interact gives a strong sense of support and responsiveness, with activities to keep minds and bodies busy, and spaces to suit those who enjoy time alone or with a group. The property is wheelchair accessible and designed to be safe for everyone, whether someone needs only a little help now or more support as time goes on, and staff remain available all day and all night.
