Heart and Soul I Assisted Living Facility

Heart and Soul I Assisted Living Facility sits at 1147 27th St, Newport News, VA 23607 and is a small residential care home for up to 6 seniors, set up a bit like a cozy house with neighborly rooms and shared living areas, and everything about it feels quieter and more settled than those bigger places; caregivers are around all day and night, helping folks with things like dressing, toileting, bathing, eating, and even taking care of hair or special grooming right in the home, and they pay special mind to each person's habits, needs, and preferences by making individual care plans. People who need help with dementia or Alzheimer's have a secure spot in the Sweet Memories community, which is a dedicated part of the facility to keep wandering or confusion down, and caregivers use simple routines, therapies like music or animal visits, and safety measures to support memory problems so everyone can feel calm and comfortable. Heart and Soul I Assisted Living Facility offers different levels of care, including assisted living, independent living support, skilled nursing help, and short-term stays or respite care, and there's hospice services for those who need it, which means families don't have to worry about moving their loved one if care needs change along the way since the staff can shift support as needed. The staff helps with medication, incontinence care, special diet needs for things like diabetes or high blood pressure, and they're trained to assist with two-person transfers and insulin shots if necessary. There's three home-style meals each day, a choice of activities like movie nights, exercise, tabletop games, music, art options, and space to relax outdoors in the yard or inside in the recreation rooms or book room, and things like a jacuzzi, sauna, traveling barber or stylist, and transportation for doctors' visits or shopping are there to add some comfort and variety. Folks who live here tend to know each other and the staff well because there aren't many people, which seems to make for a warm, familiar setting that many families say feels loving and nurturing, though of course it's always good to visit and get a sense for the place yourself before moving in. This place accepts ambulatory residents who can get around on their own, and Heart and Soul I Assisted Living Facility is certified by the state of Virginia for these kinds of senior care services, with constant supervision, regular wellness checks, and a focus on keeping everyone as healthy and active as possible each day.
