Hoovers Haven Adult Foster Care sits in a small, home-like setting and serves up to six residents, making it possible for everyone to get personal attention and care. The staff, led by licensees Catherine Hawthorne and Betty Hoover, assists residents with daily needs like bathing, dressing, medication management, and moving around, so there's always someone trained on call to help at any hour. Residents live in furnished studio units or single bedrooms that come with safety features like emergency pendants, wheel-chair accessibility, and protected entry by keypad, plus things like in-room washers and dryers to make life a bit easier.
Meals are served in a bright community dining room, with menus that keep special diets, including pureed and diabetic needs, in mind, and there's always help preparing and serving the food. There's a calendar filled with activities-game nights, birthday parties, regular fitness classes, therapy sessions, movie nights, and gatherings for both families and residents-along with a reading room, computer center, a well-kept garden, tree-lined walking grounds, fitness area, hair salon, and a game room, so residents don't just stay in their rooms, though some days are quieter than others.
When help is needed with housekeeping, laundry, or even moving in, the staff takes care of those tasks too, and they coordinate doctor visits once a month right at the home, arranging for preventive health screenings and medical appointments. There's security day and night, emergency alert systems, high-speed internet, cable TV, telephones in rooms, and utilities included except for the phone. The place allows both dogs and cats. Hoovers Haven Adult Foster Care holds an active license as an Adult Family Home with regular inspections and serves older adults as well as those who may have developmental, physical, or mental health needs. The small size means it's easier for staff to know each resident and look out for their well-being. Medicare isn't accepted, but the home works to bring some peace of mind to families needing steady care for their loved ones.
