The Ostolaza Residence - Personal Care Home sits in Evans, Georgia, in a quiet spot in Columbia County and offers care for up to six residents in a warm setting, giving folks a chance to live in a place that feels like a real home instead of a large nursing facility, and the small group means everyone gets personal attention from caregivers and staff who are there around the clock. The residence has a license as a Personal Care Home and follows state rules, with special care for people living with Alzheimer's, other types of dementia, or folks who need memory support, since there's a secured memory care section, a carefully controlled environment, trained staff skilled in handling behavior issues, and a wander alert system along with supervision all day and night for extra safety. Residents can get help with just about anything-daily routines, medicine management including insulin for diabetes, checking blood sugar, transferring in and out of bed or chairs, getting dressed and bathing, using a wheelchair, oxygen, even incontinence care, and there are hospice and respite care services too, which means people can stay whether they only need a little help or more constant care as time goes by.
Everyone shares home-cooked meals each day, with snacks, and special diets like low salt or low sugar are always an option, while friendly meals bring people together and give a feeling of comfort. For social and emotional well-being, staff plan indoor and outdoor activities, regular trips into the community, exercise with visiting trainers, crafts, games, music, reading, cards, devotional services and inspirational gatherings each month, and there's always Wi-Fi, phones for calls, and pleasant living rooms and common spaces inside and out for gathering with friends or just relaxing in a cozy spot. Housekeeping and laundry get taken care of, and transportation and parking are available for outings or visiting family, while a supportive setting helps residents and caregivers form close connections. The Ostolaza Residence is structured to provide assistance right when it's needed, with watchful health monitoring and a focus on treating everyone with kindness, respect, and understanding as care plans are made for each person, since being in a small group allows staff to know each resident well. Folks find a simple, neat, and nicely decorated environment with plenty of helpful hands, and families can visit anytime to see how things are going or take part in activities, which helps everyone feel at ease about the care their loved one receives every day.
