Sparks Retirement Home is a small residential care facility licensed for 24 beds, offering both assisted living and independent living for seniors who can care for themselves or need daily help like showering, meals, and housework, and you'll find staff on hand all day and night to help with bathing, dressing, medication, and even transferring from bed to wheelchair, and there's also support for diabetes and incontinence, with staff able to help with insulin doses and two-person transfers if needed. The staff manages medication and coordinates care if someone needs non-ambulatory assistance or special diets for conditions like diabetes or hypertension, and people there can enjoy three home-cooked meals each day, with options for low sodium, gluten free, vegetarian, and more, plus there's an Executive Chef making daily and weekly meal specials that taste good and are made with quality ingredients, and those with food allergies or specific needs get special attention, which keeps dining safe and pleasant. Residents live in a choice of studio, one-bedroom, semi-private, or two-bedroom suites, all furnished, with high ceilings, large windows, plenty of storage, and some rooms designed so pets can stay, and there are specialized memory care suites in the Reflections Neighborhood for people with Alzheimer's or dementia.
The whole place feels welcoming and has a calm, resort-style design, with a Foyer, Bistro, Garden Room, and Art Studio, along with shared spaces like a library, reading room, wellness area with a sauna or jacuzzi, and out the back there's a garden and walking paths for scenic strolls or sitting with others in the fresh air. Sparks Retirement Home has a full bar for those who enjoy a drink with meals, and the dining style is set up to feel like a restaurant, with both private and community dining rooms, and family or friends can visit and even join for meals during special gatherings. There's a Life Enrichment Kitchen for cooking activities, a Theatre/Chapel for movies or spiritual gatherings, and a community calendar packed with resident-led and staff-planned events, including music shows, art, board games, movie nights, and animal therapy, and you can even find fitness and wellness programs to keep both body and mind active.
Services also cover things like housekeeping, laundry-including dry cleaning-and moving-in help so new residents can settle in with less worry, plus there's a mobile barber or hairdresser who comes for personal grooming, and a salon or parlor on site for haircuts or styling. Residents who need help getting to medical appointments, errands, or faith-based services can use transportation coordination, and the staff helps with daily routines to make life easier, so folks can focus on being social and connected, which is a big part of the community culture here. There's a 24-hour alert system for emergencies and round-the-clock supervision, so families can feel a sense of ease about safety, and there's a dedicated group of workers who're used to handling different care levels, so that people with more or less need can still join in most activities. For those needing short stays, respite care is available, and Sparks Retirement Home has different price levels depending on how much help someone wants or needs, and they help with payment through private pay, social security, veterans' benefits, or insurance.
Indoor and outdoor common areas let people gather to talk, play a game, read quietly, or celebrate special events, and, somewhere down the hall, you'll always hear something going on, from music to the clatter of a chessboard or the clink of dishes at dinner. There's a memory care area for residents with dementia, a regular mental wellness program, and the general aim is to help seniors stay independent, stay engaged with each other, and enjoy meals, activities, and good company every day, whether they need a lot of help or a little, and always with a sense of respect and community.
