St James Manor & Villas gives seniors a steady and supportive place to live, where people can get help with their everyday needs, whether they need just a little or a lot of help, and it covers everything from independent living to assisted living, memory care, nursing care, and short-term stays, so residents don't have to move if they need more help in the future. The community has 60 units in total, including private rooms, studio apartments, and options in Hartwell House for assisted living, plus some residential care homes with live-in caregivers, so there are choices for those who want privacy and others who prefer neighborhood living. St James Manor & Villas lets people keep a dog or cat within the rules, and there's resident parking plus visitor spaces, so family and friends can visit without any hassle. The buildings and grounds have indoor and outdoor common spaces, patios, a recreation room, arts and crafts area, bistro dining, and secure memory care with its own building, using bracelets with alarms and a wander alert system for those who might wander or get confused, so safety gets a lot of attention.
Staff at St James Manor & Villas are always awake and ready, including RNs and LPNs, with support from visiting therapists like podiatrists, dentists, and physical, occupational, and speech therapists, so there's help on hand for all kinds of needs. Meals are chef-prepared, served restaurant-style, and come with many options like special diets for low salt or sugar, and there's always the offer of room service for comfort. A full set of activities keeps people active and involved-things like stretching, chair yoga, cooking classes, gardening, music groups, game nights, and trips outside the building. For spiritual needs, devotional and worship services take place both onsite and elsewhere, and there's pastoral care if wanted. The facility is wheelchair accessible, with showers designed for people who need extra help, and mechanical lifts for those who can't move much on their own.
Rehabilitation and therapy help residents regain independence and build up strength, either after a hospital stay or just to stay healthy. Memory care is structured for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, with a special safe area and plans built to match what each resident can do and enjoys, while regular reminders and supervision make sure everyone stays on track with grooming, medication, and meals. There's a secured convenience store for residents to buy what they need, an on-site hairstylist and barber, weekly housekeeping, linen services, and mailboxes. Nurses and aides are always around, keeping an eye on people who may be at risk of falls, elopement, or physical outbursts, and the staff can help with transfers, ranging from light assistance to two-person or lift-supported moves.
People can use the complimentary transportation for errands, medical appointments, and outings. The activities program aims to keep everyone included, from those who love brain games and trivia to those who enjoy hands-on clubs or story time. Hospice care is available for end-of-life needs, and short-term or respite care gives families a break or helps after illnesses. The facility allows people under 55 in some cases, and cost assistance programs are available for those who qualify. All utilities, cable, internet, weekly cleaning, and meals come under one all-inclusive price, but exact costs depend on the level of care needed. St James Manor & Villas tries hard to keep a stable, warm atmosphere, focused on ensuring people feel at home and can enjoy life at their own pace, even through changes in health or ability.
