Cottages of Perry Hall

The Cottages of Perry Hall sits tucked away in landscaped grounds with all ground-level cottages, where each cottage feels more like a home than a facility, so you've got your own kitchen, a private room with a shower and toilet, and you see lots of light coming in-the whole place gives off this quiet, warm family feel, and those spacious studio suites let folks keep a bit of independence while staying safe. The community covers everything from independent living and assisted living to full nursing care and memory care, and there's a dedicated leadership team, licensed nurses, and skilled caregivers on staff day and night, which makes it easier for people with different needs to stay in familiar surroundings as their health changes. Safety's a big focus, especially for memory care, with secured entries, a wander alert system, and supervision 24 hours a day, so even residents prone to wandering or who have tough behaviors can get enough attention. You see a lot of effort toward making people feel included and engaged, with daily activities from tai chi, chair yoga, art classes, and gardening to band outings, karaoke, and trips, plus some pet-focused programs and gardens for those who love animals or the outdoors. The Flourish℠ memory care program stands out because it's tailored to fit each resident's needs, and staff know how to keep people active, whether or not they've got memory loss. Meals are chef-prepared and available anytime, with guest meal options and special diets like gluten-free, low sodium, or vegan, and the dining area feels welcoming, kind of like sitting at your own kitchen table. There's a beauty salon on-site for hair and nails, common rooms for meetings and activities, and outdoor spaces like the courtyard and gazebo, so you always find somewhere to sit quietly or talk with neighbors. The cottages are wheelchair-friendly, and there are mechanical lifts for those who need extra help moving about. People can bring their dogs or cats, and there's a strong emphasis on keeping social connections alive through life-enrichment programs and frequent group gatherings. For health needs, a nurse is always available, doctors can be called in, and they handle everything from giving out insulin to helping with two-person transfers or mechanical lifts, so more support is always close by. Devotional services are held for those who want them, and the offer of short-term stays, respite care, hospice services, and aging in place means most residents won't need to leave if their needs grow. Transportation is available for appointments or outings, and if you drive, there's parking for residents too. The cottages really seem to be designed to help people with different backgrounds and care needs continue living with comfort and dignity, surrounded by care and plenty of choices for how to spend each day, and it's managed by Charter Senior Living.
