Shirlee's Retirement Home is a small care facility with room for 14 residents, so it has a quieter and more private feel than larger places, and it's classified as a Residential Care Home under license #910597. People who live here get help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, and medication, and there is always trained staff around day and night. There are rooms set up as studios, with an average cost of about $4,000 each month, and meals are cooked right in a home kitchen and served in a family-style dining area, though residents who want to eat in their rooms for more privacy can do that too. Meals are designed by chefs and meal planners, trying to provide balanced nutrition, and residents can gather in indoor common areas to talk, play games, or join in on planned activities that try to keep everyone active and alert.
This home doesn't accept pets and has dedicated parking spaces for people who still drive, and extra spaces for visitors. They offer transportation as needed, and have various community events, social, and educational activities to help everyone stay engaged. Shirlee's has memory care and assisted living services, so staff are ready to help people with Alzheimer's or other types of dementia, and there's a special Memory Care unit for those who need more support for memory loss. The place is set up with safety in mind for seniors who may wander, so it's safeguarded and there's special attention for people who might need extra help.
Residents' health needs get attention too, so staff can help with bowel and bladder incontinence, reminding people to use the restroom, giving insulin, checking blood sugar, and taking care of people who can't move as easily, using mechanical lifts if needed. The team can help with both one-person and two-person transfers, and will stand by to assist when someone isn't steady on their own, and there are visiting nurse services as well, so seniors can get expert care right where they live. While some details about all the services or amenities aren't available, Shirlee's tries to offer a safe, home-like place for seniors who need personal help or memory support, especially those looking for a smaller, family-style setting.
