Henican House sits on a corner lot as a large single-family ranch home with six bedrooms licensed for up to eight residents, and you can tell right away the place is designed for comfort and safety because there are wide, accessible hallways and plenty of space for everyone, plus off-street parking with space for a carport or garage which always makes things easier for visitors and family. The home features crown molding throughout, big open living and dining areas with travertine flooring, built-in wood bookcases in the den, and a sunroom that's 21 by 16 feet with slate floors, where folks like to watch the sunlight or enjoy a good book, and outside, residents can enjoy a nice colorful garden or mobile plant and herb boxes for easy gardening.
Staff at Henican House provide around-the-clock care and supervision for seniors, with help available for medication management, bathing, dressing, eating, walking, and other daily activities, and the higher staff-to-resident ratio means there's more personal help whenever it's needed, including specialized care for those with dementia or Alzheimer's disease, and memory care services with individualized attention. Residents get three meals a day in a comfortable dining area at a big stately table, and there's always creole and southern food prepared by the House Manager, who learned to cook from family in Ville Platte, Louisiana, so meals often feel like family gatherings and can be made to fit special diets, such as allergy-friendly or diabetic meals.
Henican House tries to make life better for seniors by having scheduled social and recreational activities, movie nights, walking paths, gardens, and also exercise and wellness programs, and if anyone wants to use the internet, the Wi-Fi is fast and easy to access throughout the house. The staff are friendly and helpful with any scheduled or unexpected needs, and services include laundry, housekeeping, dry cleaning, scheduled transportation, move-in coordination, and basic community events. The facility stays clean and well-kept, and all rooms are furnished and designed for seniors' safety, keeping things comfortable and easy to live in. Henican House has cared for seniors since 2011, and the big focus is on keeping a homelike, secure atmosphere where folks get help, enjoy good meals together, and are able to live with dignity and comfort.
