South Belfast Road House III provides assisted living for older adults and has licensed care with specific license numbers for the services they're allowed to provide, and the staff helps folks with all sorts of daily needs like bathing, getting dressed, and managing medications throughout the day and night, and you'll see personalized care plans getting updated as things change, so whether you're a married couple or living alone, they've got semi-private rooms, one-bedroom suites, or compact studio setups with non-slip floors, grab bars, and call buttons for safety all over the place. There's a separate secure area for seniors with dementia and Alzheimer's where staff with special training give memory care and organize games and activities to help keep minds sharp, and there are therapy rooms for rehab, wound care, and help for things like Parkinson's, and every month nurses check on everyone's health.
Now, folks looking for a simpler life will find meals cooked up three times a day, including special diets for allergies and diabetes, and you'll get your linens washed, your apartment cleaned, and the maintenance crew keeps everything safe and running, and if you bring a pet along, that's alright too since they allow pets, and for company, there's a library, a beauty shop, a bistro, a game room, and fitness areas, and you'll always see folks picking out books, getting exercise in classes, or joining walking groups on the landscaped grounds. Staff schedules group outings to places in town and arranges rides to doctors, and residents have access to cable, Wi-Fi, and a phone in their room if they want it.
There's always someone around day and night to help with anything, whether it's transferring in and out of bed, help with bathing at night, or getting dressed in the morning, and the place runs regular community activities like movie nights, crafts in the studio, chapel service, and plenty of card games and bingo in the games room, and there's a quiet computer corner too for anyone who likes that sort of thing. Residents that need a break from home caregivers can stay for a short while too under their respite care, and everyone gets a little move-in help settling in, and if you're not sure about something, the supervisors or the health care staff will answer your questions right away.
There's a focus on making sure everyone feels part of the community, with big common areas where people talk, laugh, or just relax, and it's all set up to keep folks safe but also as independent as possible, so people get a little peace of mind while they go about their days, and there are plenty of programs and help if your needs ever change down the line.
