Our Family Home at Evening Street sits in a quiet Worthington neighborhood at 6535 Evening Street and cares for up to five seniors in a comfortable house made to feel like home, and folks come here when they need help with memory loss, like Alzheimer's or dementia, and people can stay for a short respite visit or longer-term if they want. The house is always staffed, so there's someone around 24 hours a day to help, and a doctor stays on call if there's ever a real need, and they've got nurses on staff along with caregivers who can help with reminders for grooming, bathing, and even toileting. The community's designed for safety, since some residents might wander or get confused, so they put bracelets on people who are at risk for leaving the building, and there are alarms set up at doors, plus the whole property is locked and secured so folks are safe if they forget where they are. For folks who need help walking, they do one-person or two-person transfers, or use a special lift, and the home has both wheelchair accessible showers and regular tubs to help residents wash up safely.
People who have trouble with diabetes or using the bathroom will get care here, too, and they have therapies aimed at lowering confusion and even trying to help reduce the need for too many medicines. The community will also take residents who can be physically aggressive or try to leave, and they provide services for behavioral concerns. If someone has high health needs, like needing lots of watching or special care, they're equipped for that, and residents can get visits from nurses, a podiatrist, and therapists for physical, speech, and occupational needs. Staff all speak English.
Meals are cooked and served daily, including vegetarian options, and folks can go into the indoor dining room or the shared family room for socializing, and there are outdoor common areas-including a patio where some residents like to watch birds and deer. People can step outside to smoke in designated areas, and there are both devotional activities in the home and opportunities to go out for worship elsewhere. The place runs its own transportation for residents if people need it, and parking is available for anyone still driving. Beautician services are offered onsite, and the home tries to keep everyone looking and feeling as good as possible.
The home stands out for its quiet surroundings in a close-knit community, and it's set up with both indoor and outdoor spaces for residents and families to gather. Personal care here really tries to help people keep their dignity and independence, even if they need a lot of support, with everything aimed at making daily life safer, calmer, and less stressful. Respite stays can be arranged, with a listed fee of about $200 for short-term care. The main goal here is to make sure everyone, no matter how much help they need, can enjoy days that feel peaceful and familiar, in a safer, more comfortable place.
