Villa Scalabrini Retirement Center offers senior living with options for independent living, assisted living, memory care, short-term rehab, and skilled nursing, and the place holds up to 130 residents, so you get a mix of neighbors, and some are more independent, while others get more help, and they keep things pretty organized with special licenses for their Retirement Center and Special Care Unit, which is designed for Alzheimer's or dementia. Residents can choose private or semi-private rooms, with studios and two-bedroom apartments, and some units have kitchenettes, while others come with full kitchens and air conditioning, and everything is set up to be wheelchair accessible with safe showers and plenty of ground floor rooms. Rates are clear: private rooms in the Safe Care Center are about $200 per day (or $160 for semi-private) and that covers laundry and bathing, while Assisted Living's Personal Care Unit charges $150 per day, and independent living has different monthly rates depending on room type, with extra fees for things like more laundry or extra showers.
There's restaurant-style dining, a café, and a menu that can cover special diets-diabetic, gluten-free, low salt, low fat, vegetarian, even renal-and you can have meals in rooms if needed, and guests are welcome for meals too. Scheduled transportation and community outings come with the place, and it feels pretty open with resident and guest parking, including uncovered parking and arrangements for those who don't drive anymore. The building's got security gates and 24-hour monitoring where needed, especially in the Safe Care Center where Nurse Assistants keep a close eye on residents who wander.
Amenities include a garden, patios, plenty of outdoor space, and spots like La Piazza, a comfortable common area for gathering, and inside you'll find a library, game room, fitness space, dining rooms, TV lounges, a computer center, and even a beauty salon and wellness center. For activities, they put on stretching classes, fitness programs, art and craft sessions, bingo, music, dancing, day trips, trivia games, and even offer religious and devotional services in English, Italian, and Spanish. Wi-Fi is there for those who want it, and there's a focus on community with meetings and coffee in shared spaces.
Villa Scalabrini has a long history tied to the Scalabrini Fathers and Father Luigi Donanzan, and the mission aims to provide older adults-many of whom are migrants-with care full of kindness and respect, and the staff, including Nurse Assistants and specialists, offer help with things like bathing, dressing, medication, rehab, transfers, medication management, and incontinence care. Housekeeping, laundry, and help with moving in are available, and residents who need extra help can get it, or manage on their own if they prefer.
The center is licensed as a Level RCFE and has received praise from architectural groups as a modern, functional "model home for senior citizens," and the grounds and building feel pleasant and up to date. They offer support and supervision twenty-four hours a day where required, alarms in special care units, and care plans that fit what each resident needs-some need memory care, some just want company or a safe place to call home in their later years. Villa Scalabrini serves people aged sixty-two and above, and the general idea is to let them stay social, safe, and engaged in a pretty, secure spot as they age.
