Sarawood Assisted Living offers a unique combination of compassionate care and a warm, homelike environment nestled within a charming Victorian residence. Set amidst two acres of beautifully landscaped grounds in the highlands of Holyoke, Sarawood creates a tranquil yet vibrant atmosphere that fosters both independence and companionship for its residents. The distinctive historic setting and inviting atmosphere are complemented by a high staff-to-resident ratio, ensuring that each resident receives individualized attention and support tailored to their specific needs.
At Sarawood, all accommodations are private studios or suites, offering residents comfort and privacy while creating a sense of personal space. Some rooms feature private half-baths, while others share a bathroom with no more than one other resident, and the facility is equipped with an elevator for easy accessibility throughout its spaces. Residents enjoy three nutritious, home-cooked meals every day, prepared in a way that not only meets dietary needs but also evokes the warmth of a family kitchen. Weekly housekeeping and fresh linens help to maintain a comfortable environment, while high-speed Wi-Fi is available throughout the building and grounds to keep residents connected with loved ones and the wider world.
Personalized care at Sarawood is thoughtfully designed and regularly updated with input from residents and their families. Care plans take into account each individual's preferences, requirements, and changing health needs. Assistance with daily activities—including bathing, dressing, and medication management—is provided with dignity and respect by a dedicated team always on hand to offer support. For those who require temporary care, short-term respite stays offer the same high level of support and community engagement, allowing for flexible solutions to meet varying circumstances.
Life at Sarawood is enriched by a wide array of engaging activities and social programs. The community calendar features arts and crafts, fitness classes, music sessions, bingo, group outings, and shopping trips, all designed to promote physical health, mental stimulation, and social interaction. These activities are thoughtfully crafted to be inclusive and adaptable so that residents of all abilities can participate. Reliable transportation services ensure that residents have the flexibility to attend medical appointments, run errands, and take part in community events beyond the grounds, supporting both independence and a continued sense of connection to the outside world.
The hallmark of Sarawood is its focus on creating meaningful connections among residents and staff. By fostering a true sense of community and offering comprehensive assistance in a beautiful, historic home, Sarawood stands out as a premier choice for senior care.
