Harrod At Great Meadows is a small, family-owned community with only 17 residents on a campus that has space for up to 42, so it feels quieter and friendlier than many larger places, and the staff tends to know everyone by name, helping folks feel at home and keeping things clean and well-maintained. Each resident can choose a private or semi-private suite-some with large bathrooms, whirlpool spas, and their own kitchenette-so you get some privacy but still have housekeeping and laundry help, plus a 24-hour call system for peace of mind, and the rooms stay connected with WiFi, high-speed internet, cable TV, and private phone service. The grounds have landscaped walking paths, enclosed gardens with a pond, plenty of outdoor sitting areas, and features like a putting green, bocce court, shuffleboard, and both indoor and outdoor heated pools, as well as a greenhouse and garden plots for folks who like to stay active or enjoy nature. There's also a small library, game room, lounge, chapel, and auditorium for reading or group gatherings, and the common rooms and performing arts center give people plenty of space for large social events, activities, or worship.
The home offers all kinds of senior care, including independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care, respite, continuing care, and dementia care, and you can get help with bathing, dressing, moving around, medication, diabetes diets or special diets, and hospice is available too. For health and wellness, there's a fitness center, exercise room, wellness center, and scheduled programs, plus a mental wellness program for extra support. Folks who have small pets can bring them, and the whole place is wheelchair accessible with safety features like emergency call buttons and security on the premises. Residents can keep their lives simple with on-site check-cashing, mail delivery, notary services, transportation for trips by bus, van, or car, and there's a beauty/barber shop, café, tuck shop, private and restaurant-style dining rooms, and even a sewing room and woodshop for hobbies.
The activity schedule stays lively with adult education classes, art and creative programs, horticultural projects, community events, and youth visitors, and there are both resident-run and staff-run daily activities, so there's always something going on if you want to join in, but no one's forced to do anything. Harrod At Great Meadows also features a steady presence of courteous staff, a housechaplain for spiritual support, and personal office help, so you can get the little things sorted without much fuss. With parking available, transportation offered for a fee, and a strong focus on comfort and personalized care, the facility gives seniors a chance to stay independent but supported, surrounded by people who know them well.
