The facility offers assisted living as its main service, with rates starting at $3,835 a month, and is also licensed for adult large group home care with room for up to 18 residents, serving seniors as well as individuals with mental illness, and there's one resident who's called this place home for over 30 years which says something about stability if nothing else. Kings Special Care Homes provides both private and semi-private rooms, some of which come furnished and have Wi-Fi and cable, and residents get three meals a day with snacks, all prepared to meet dietary needs like low fat, kosher, diabetic, vegetarian, or allergies, and if laundry or housekeeping is needed, staff will handle that too.
People living here can get help with things like bathing, dressing, grooming, taking their medicine, managing personal care, and the facility includes memory care for those with Alzheimer's or other impairments, along with respite care if a caregiver needs a break, and nurse practitioners, podiatrists, optometrists, and physical therapists do in-house visits, plus there's part-time nurse coverage. They have a holistic care approach, aiming to support physical and emotional health, and staff are trained to offer both physical support and social interaction, including 24-hour supervision and prompt call systems for emergencies, with extra security measures like cameras and alarms in place if you worry about safety.
Kings Special Care Homes tries for a home-like and comfortable feeling, encouraging family visits and open conversation with staff so everyone stays connected, and there's always a range of activities like games, music, arts and crafts, movies, outings, gardening, and even educational programs, with both community-planned and resident-run groups to keep life interesting, not forgetting relaxing options like walking paths, a garden, a barbershop and salon, a lounge, and the Bean Bar café nearby where residents can gather and socialize.
