Mount Carmel Assisted Living, in Hampton, has offered care since 1986 and takes in seniors who need help with daily activities, including those with memory loss, Alzheimer's, or dementia, and folks who want to stay as independent as possible but require light, medium, or heavy care. The facility offers specialized care such as assisted living, memory care, companion care, and support for people managing diabetes-like help with insulin injections and sliding scale therapy-while residents who need incontinence care must manage this on their own. People can choose different types of housing, including independent living, senior apartments, condos, senior townhomes, and assisted living units like studios, one-bedrooms, two-bedrooms, and semi-private rooms.
There are many safety features here such as medical alert systems, home security, medication dispensers, ID theft protection, and walk-in tubs, and staff stay awake and available 24 hours a day for emergencies. Caregivers offer support with transferring and standby help for those who can't walk on their own, and there's respite care and hospice care for those who need short-term stays or end-of-life care. Activities go on daily to help everyone stay social, active, and healthy, and there are indoor common areas and gathering spots to encourage visits and movement. Devotional services happen offsite for those who wish to attend.
Residents have meals provided, so no one has to worry about making food, and the facility gives complimentary transportation for doctor visits or errands. Mount Carmel Assisted Living is part of a Continuing Care Retirement Community and supports aging at home with programs for nutrition, fitness, and home technology solutions. The staff's goal is to maintain a home-like, nurturing environment so residents feel comfortable and have dignity and peace of mind, and there are resources and support for families to help them understand their loved one's care. Different fees apply, including a one-time community fee, monthly charges that depend on level of care, and daily fees for respite stays.
