High Street Foster Home sits quietly on a big, level 1.24-acre lot at the end of a low traffic, dead-end street, right next to wooded areas and close to local places where residents can get out for recreation, which is always a plus if someone likes the outdoors or just wants a walk among the trees. The home's built as a single-floor duplex from 1988, expanded with a 2-bedroom addition in 2015, and keeps a classic ranch style with wood frame and vinyl siding, new shingles from 2007, and new windows set in 2018, so things are kept solid but not fancy. You'll see a one-car attached garage that's partly turned into an office or mudroom with a carport added in 2016, gravel driveway, and parking for a handful of vehicles. There's a large fenced backyard, plus garden spaces and game areas for fresh air or hobbies.
Inside, the High Street Foster Home offers 2,974 square feet of living space all on one floor, where the layout includes 6 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a living room, den, laundry space, an office/utility room, and a new open kitchen and big dining area, all finished with easy-to-clean laminate floors and no stairs to climb, which helps folks who may have trouble walking or need a wheelchair. Some walls were removed to open up the space, but they can go back in if someone wants more bedrooms or bathrooms. The home's built with handicap specifications, a sprinkler system, an upgraded fire alarm, and a hard-wired life safety alarm system for safety, which is nice for peace of mind. Walk-in closets, a book room, possible sauna or wellness space, plus easy access to showers and a jacuzzi come standard, and the home runs on oil heat with multi-zone, baseboard hot water, and an on-demand water heater-no air conditioning, but you get heating and electric appliances like a dishwasher, range, and fridge.
High Street Foster Home's a certified small assisted living spot for up to 4 residents, although it's also set up for daycare, nursery school, hospice, or even in-home office uses, so there's some flexibility depending on needs. Staff provide 24-hour care and make sure support matches each person's situation, from daily help with bathing, dressing, moving around, and grooming to medication management and meal planning for conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes. Residents don't have to worry about wandering off, since the home's a secured locked facility. There's memory care services as well for Alzheimer's or cognitive challenges, and activities are planned every day-movie nights, music therapy, pet visits, games, outings, crafts, and social events, so no one's left bored or lonely unless they want peace and quiet. A mobile barber or hairdresser visits, exercise and fitness programs run regularly, and transport is available to doctor visits, shopping, or church if arranged with the director.
Homemade meals are served daily, always with the option for special diets, and snacks and drinks go along with it. Both private and shared rooms can be set up, and the place stays clean with regular housekeeping, laundry, and dry-cleaning services. Residents can use garden spots, walking paths, open hangout space, and may find a book room, spa, or fitness area depending on how the rooms are used, as schedules and setups change and it's best to ask for a tour to see what's current. There's no fireplace, but basic comforts are met, and the home's on public water and sewer, with reliable utilities and safety features checked and up to code. Staff aim for a safe, friendly, and honest setting where seniors can live comfortably and get help when they need it, with enough room to make daily life as smooth and pleasant as possible.
