New Haven Assisted Living

New Haven Assisted Living offers both assisted living and memory care services in a small, home-like setting for up to six residents, so you'll find things quieter and a bit more personal than at bigger places, and staff are on hand at all hours to help with things like bathing, dressing, transfers, and managing medication, even insulin if needed, and they can check in on those who need incontinence or diabetic care which is good for folks who have health needs but don't require skilled nursing; residents get three homemade meals every day with special diets available for hypertension or diabetes if a doctor says it's needed, and they can even manage their own diabetes if they want, which some people prefer. Daily life has plenty to do, with scheduled events, movie nights, exercise and music programs, game rooms, and creative plans that try to keep people mentally and socially sharp, and you'll find community and private spaces, including furnished one-bedroom apartments, a book room for sitting down with a good novel, garden areas where pets are allowed, if you want to bring a dog or cat, and a hot tub and steam room for relaxing-there's even a health area for staying active. Staff also take care of cleaning, linens, meal prep, and there's a barber or beauty shop for grooming, which makes things a bit easier. For folks who need help getting around, the community has transportation help for doctor appointments, errands, visiting churches or other places, and they arrange both individual and group outings so residents don't feel left out. There are security measures for the memory care folks who may wander, and there are care plans designed for each person, so support matches physical, mental, and emotional needs as best as possible, with hospice services available if needed, which is a comfort to some families. Residents must be age 55 or older to move in, and respite care is available for those needing short-term stays which comes in handy if a caregiver needs a break. Every apartment has cable TV and wifi, so residents can stay connected, and there are common rooms for gatherings, social nights, and faith-based activities either on-site or in the wider community. Staff are ready to lend a hand with daily activities for people who can't manage entirely on their own, and all areas are built with safety in mind, especially for those with memory loss. The community is small, but it tries to be warm, welcoming, and focused on helping people lead active and comfortable lives as they age.
