Holy Cross is a senior living community where staff are known for their helpfulness, kindness, and the way they make everyone feel welcome and at home, so you'll notice a friendly environment right away. The community has many activities that help people stay social, physical, mentally active, and emotionally engaged, which have even won awards for excellence in activities. The dining services focus on serving nutritious, chef-prepared meals that taste good and support health, with a dining room where meals are enjoyed together. There's a Care and Rehab Center called Holy Cross Care and Rehab Ctr that supports people who need short-term or long-term skilled nursing and personal care, so you'll find options for both recovery and ongoing support.
Holy Cross offers home care if someone prefers to stay at home, sending trained aides who give companionship and help with daily needs for seniors who don't need medical care. People who want independent living can find apartments that take away the hassle of home upkeep and encourage social living for active, healthy seniors. For those living with Alzheimer's or dementia, Holy Cross has memory care services with safe spaces to reduce confusion and prevent wandering, aiming to support each person's dignity. Assisted living helps seniors who are mostly independent but want or need a little help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, or remembering to take medication.
