Balsam House Inc. sits on scenic land with lush walking paths and beautiful gardens, offering a peaceful setting for seniors who need some help in daily life or memory care, and the small six-bed residential care facility gives each resident a private bedroom, private bath, and sometimes a personal deck, which means you feel privacy and comfort, and you see a grand dining room with big windows and cathedral ceilings so meals can be social and the food is made by chefs and meal planners who take special diets into account. The staff give 24-hour supervision and help with bathing, dressing, medication, and all the daily needs, and the care team here follows the Balsam House Inc. care programs to focus on what each person truly needs. The community has wheelchair accessibility, emergency call systems, and both private and shared room choices, and a family-like atmosphere makes it easy to enjoy days here, with daily movement therapy, exercise classes like yoga, crafts, board games, and live music, or sometimes just sharing a meal around big community tables. There are outdoor gardens where residents can pick fresh produce or walk, and there are pet-friendly policies and plenty of trips out. Inside, you find common rooms with a fireplace sitting room, a sunroom, a living room with a wood stove, and a library with a dining area, and the services set up comforts like laundry and dry cleaning, transportation to appointments, and full housekeeping, with extra care for those who need help with diabetes, incontinence, or higher medical needs. The place stays lively with movie nights and ice cream socials, and a full-service salon, massage services, and podiatrist visits add to the care offerings. There's always staff on hand for emergencies, and wireless internet throughout keeps everyone connected. They help with move-in needs and even have a garden where you can pick things yourself. Balsam House Inc. focuses on keeping everyone safe, happy, and supported in a natural, homelike setting, so it never feels too big or cold, but more like a caring extended family, and residents get a say in their care plan, meals, and activities.
