Whitehall Assisted Living sits on five and a half acres in Dothan, Alabama, where you'll find 16 private suites in both the East and West buildings, all set among manicured trees and lawns. Folks who move in get an initial talk or assessment to figure out their individual care needs, and the staff walks families through what makes assisted living different from independent living or nursing home care, which helps folks decide what fits best. The place offers walking help, wheelchair support, laundry and dry cleaning, and help with medicines, plus help with daily things like dressing or bathing if people need it. They've got safety and handicap features all over, along with personal emergency response systems and sprinklers. Each suite comes with a kitchen or kitchenette, cable TV, washers and dryers, and is set up for folks with mobility needs. You'll find a beauty and barber shop onsite, and folks can head to the dining hall, join in arts and crafts, or take part in planned activities and outings, which gets everyone out and about and keeps the sense of community going strong.
Nurses are on staff, offering podiatry, wound care, medicine help, and even occupational therapy, while the staff gets regular training in senior care. Whitehall gives special focus to memory care, with programs and staff experience built around residents who need this sort of support. Folks get meals each day, cleaning, linens, and personal laundry, plus there's guest parking, exercise and activity rooms, and internet throughout. Transportation's covered for appointments or outings, and the buildings are designed with aging in place in mind, meaning people can stay comfortable as their needs change. Whitehall Assisted Living also welcomes folks with long-term care insurance and helps families find community resources. They're known for their true community feeling, sense of Southern hospitality, and a goal of making sure every resident feels right at home and cared for, while still holding onto independence and dignity as much as possible.
