Santa Maria Terrace

Santa Maria Terrace offers apartments for seniors who want independent living, assisted living, dementia care, or short-term respite stays, and people can pick a studio or a one-bedroom, with options for furnished units, emergency call systems, and easy controls for heating and cooling, so folks can stay comfortable and safe at all times, plus they allow small pets like little dogs, and they have a dog park where people can walk and visit. The staff are there day and night and help with daily tasks such as bathing, getting dressed, walking, and making sure people get their medicine on time, while nurses visit part-time and there's a network of healthcare providers who can come in if extra medical help is needed, which is important for people needing special care, like diabetic care or memory care for dementia or Alzheimer's, where Santa Maria Terrace uses safe, enclosed areas and added security to prevent confusion or wandering, and does regular health and wellness checks. Meals come from a chef and are served fresh in a communal dining room, though if someone wants to eat in their apartment or invite a guest, that's fine, and flexible dining hours are offered, as is room service, with professional wait staff helping out so people don't have to worry about anything. Housekeeping, laundry, linens, and private cleaning are all part of the package and people can also get help with mail or have cable TV and Wi-Fi in their rooms or in the lounges, so staying in touch or enjoying TV is easy, while the maintenance staff make sure everything keeps running smoothly. The front doors are controlled for safety, and there's parking for residents and guests, and transportation can be set up to shopping, medical appointments, or for any errands, which takes some of the worry out of getting around. Recreational programs change each week and include computer classes, art, crafts, board games, music, seasonal parties, outings managed by an activities staff, and there are rooms set aside for games, computers, reading in the library, or religious services-including Catholic mass and spiritual gatherings-plus there's an enclosed garden and outside paths for relaxing walks. Each care plan is tailored for the person, aiming to support as much independence as possible while giving a safe, homelike place to live, whether someone stays long-term or for a respite visit. Santa Maria Terrace doesn't take Medicaid but accepts private pay, long-term insurance, checks, and Medicare, and the whole campus is kept secure with emergency response systems, regular checks, and building security so families can know their loved ones are being cared for and respected. People can go online to see floor plans or look at the gallery to get a feel for the place, and the community always encourages people to visit so they can see the atmosphere and see if it's a good fit, with staff happy to answer questions and help make a choice.
