Shelette's Adult Home sits in a quiet Richmond neighborhood at 1901 4th Avenue, serving seniors who want a small and supportive place to live. The facility has room for up to six residents in semi-private rooms, which helps staff give more one-on-one attention and means residents can get to know each other. The home provides a mix of care options like assisted living, memory care, independent living, and even adult day care and home care for folks who don't need to stay overnight. There are also hospice and respite care services available, so people can get extra support when they need it.
Shelette's Adult Home helps seniors with dementia or Alzheimer's with special "Memory Care" programs, memory-enhancing activities, and routines that keep people safe and reduce confusion. Residents get daily help with dressing, bathing, meals, medication, grooming, and personal care. Staff can help with incontinence care, insulin doses, special diets for conditions like diabetes or hypertension, and two-person transfers if needed. The home follows Individualized Service Plans to make sure everyone gets care that fits their needs.
For comfort and well-being, the facility has several amenities, like a reading room, hot tub, sauna or wellness area, recreation rooms, outdoor spaces, and a barber or salon. Activities include art and music, animal therapy, movies, board games, fitness, transportation for errands or doctor visits, and faith-based outings. Residents also get daily healthy meals and help with housework and hygiene.
Shelette's Adult Home takes care to correct issues as they come up, taking care of food violations on the spot during inspections, such as making sure to discard old food items like guacamole or brie cheese. The place feels like a country home with clean, updated spaces and a warm, caring staff. There's always someone around, so families know their loved ones have support any time of day or night. The home also includes other care options by name like O'Brien Home For The Elderly, Restoration Adult Home Assisted Living, Manor at Woodland Heights, The, and Bellamy's Home for Adults #1, which offer similar help for adults in a shared home setting. Senior apartments and Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) services let people age in place as their needs change, making it easier for them to stay in familiar surroundings for longer.
