This place has a simple approach to care where each elder directs their care alongside Care Partners, so support meets emotional, social, spiritual, residential, and medical needs, with licensed nurses like RNs and LPNs on staff 24/7, and CNAs as well, making sure skilled nursing's available for chronic or acute conditions, recovery from surgery or a stroke, or help with medical needs at any hour. The facility's got senior apartments including one- and two-bedroom units, as well as housing with nursing home services, memory care, assisted living, and independent living, offering short-term rehab, long-term and respite care, and all kinds of supports like medication help, housekeeping, laundry, pet care, grooming, dressing, and transportation, and there's always extra services like interior maintenance and repair, plus a concierge, and an emergency response system at the ready. Residents can be involved in activities for learning, socializing, spiritual growth, and enjoyment that suit all levels, and those who want to worship have devotional services onsite. There's indoor common areas, balconies, lounges, a rooftop terrace, courtyards, and a park garden for fresh air, and inside you'll find a snack bar and a gift shop, a library, kitchens, activity centers, a community room, and a beauty salon and barbershop where you can get haircuts, styling, and nails done. Shalom Park uses the Eden Alternative philosophy, meaning the community wants to feel like a real home and works to honor the choices of each elder while building relationships and trying to see that everyone, no matter their background, gets care that's fair and kind, and there's a strong focus on both health and dignity. The facility has parking for visitors, supports volunteering and career opportunities, and offers a virtual tour for folks to see what's here before deciding to visit and there's long-term admissions for families looking for a new place for a loved one, offering designated care sections for different needs and assisted living, memory care, nursing care, and independent living all in one place, so people can find the support, activities, and community that's right for them, whether they're rehabilitating to go home, looking for a safe long-term home, or just wanting to stay active and connected.
