Ohi - 247 Birch Street sits in a colonial-style home built in 1900, and you'll find three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, with hardwood floors and a good-sized living space downstairs, all making it feel like a quiet, small community since they only have three residents at a time. They've got safety in mind with hand rails, emergency buttons in each room, a locked medicine room, keypad entry, and 24/7 on-site security, which is good for folks who need memory care, as the staff there are licensed to help people with Alzheimer's or dementia, and there's always a registered nurse on call if someone needs it day or night. Residents get help with all the daily things, such as bathing, dressing, transfers, feeding, incontinence care, and the staff can help with insulin, two-person transfers, and basic medical needs, including medication reminders and administration, which all gets managed right inside the house. Meals get made every day with choices for special diets, like diabetic, cardiac, kosher, or low sodium, and you can sit down to restaurant-style dining or join others in the community dining area, so people eat together most days, and there are home-cooked meals instead of cafeteria food.
Laundry gets done for you, and housekeeping is handled, so you don't have to worry about cleaning or chores, and if you want a barber or hairdresser to come by, that can also get arranged along with dry cleaning. The activity calendar keeps folks busy with things like movie nights, arts and crafts, fitness classes, animal therapy, music therapy, group games, and there's even a spot for outside in the open backyard with a small shed if you want some fresh air or to watch the garden. Ohi - 247 Birch Street offers therapy services like occupational and physical therapy onsite, too, and you can set up transportation to medical appointments, errands, spiritual services, or even off-site events since they've got both private and shared rides available. People living here can choose a private or shared room, and rooms come furnished, but you can bring your own things if you want. The community has a fitness room, therapy room, big TVs in the common areas, good-sized walking paths, a health center, and common areas with internet. They've got routine wellness checks, monthly physician assessments, and preventive care built right into what they offer, so someone always checks up on how each resident is doing. Ohi - 247 Birch Street is licensed for both assisted living and memory care, offers respite and hospice options, and supports outside home health and hospice if that's what someone needs. It's usually a quiet spot with a home-like feeling, caring staff, and enough activities to help the days pass with something to look forward to, making it suitable for those who want more support without a big, noisy place. Payment is flexible, too, with long-term care insurance, VA, private pay, and cards accepted.
