People can get help with daily needs like dressing, eating, and using the bathroom, and there's always staff ready to help, day or night. The community gives care for people with memory issues like dementia, and offers respite and hospice care if needed, along with minimal nursing care, speech and occupational therapy, and monthly check-ups by a registered nurse. Residents choose between studio and 1-bedroom apartments, including options like semi-private rooms or suites with pull cords for safety. There are 6 to 12 beds in each building, with settings like COUNTRY VIEW MANOR AFC, COUNTRY HOME, BAIRAGEE AFC HOME, ASSISTED LIVING AT REDWOOD MANOR, AMANI FOSTER CARE, ABI'S AFC HOME, and A TOUCH OF CLASS, each with a small, home-like feel.
Seniors living here get three meals a day, with all-inclusive dining, snacks, and even catering for special family events. There's a regular laundry service, internet, cable, housekeeping, and all basic utilities included. The homes feature safety and handicap-access features like around-the-clock security, call pendant systems, and on-site staff for medication and health support. For fun and staying active, Kephart Cottage has activities like arts and crafts, movies, group games, planned gatherings, birthday and holiday parties, and a fitness center. There are outdoor trails and porches for walking or sitting outside, along with indoor spaces like a reading room, movie area, game and entertainment spot, and even a computer area.
Longtime staff help residents with transportation, so they can get to appointments, shopping, or outings as needed. There's a salon and barbershop on-site, plus therapy rooms and a common use kitchen for group events. Pets are welcome, which brightens the place up for animal lovers. Families can visit for planned gatherings, and the team makes sure maintenance, cleaning, and upkeep stay on schedule both inside and out. Each unique home or program has its own name and style, but all focus on personal care, safety, and keeping a close, supportive feeling among residents and staff. Kephart Cottage is built for comfort and simplicity, with living units and services to fit many needs, including assisted living, memory care, adult daycare, and home care, and these services are arranged to suit middle-income budgets while helping each person keep as much independence as possible, all in a homelike environment.
