Valley Pines Senior Living takes in residents who are 55 or older and gives them assisted living and Alzheimer's care with a staff that works around the clock, and sometimes you'll find staff who speak English, French, German, Spanish, or even use American Sign Language, so people from all sorts of backgrounds feel heard and understood. The building has private and semi-private rooms, all furnished, with private showers if you have a private room, or shared bathrooms if you're in a semi-private setup, and each room has Wi-Fi, cable TV, a kitchenette, and furniture like a bed and side table, with some rooms even set up so folks can cook more if they're interested, or just use the community dining hall where three home-cooked meals are served every day, plus snacks if you get hungry between meals, and you can get special diets too, like vegetarian, diabetic, low salt, or renal-friendly meals if your doctor says so.
There's an outdoor garden and patio where you can sit and enjoy the sun or flowers when the weather's nice, and recreation rooms where you might do arts and crafts, read in a quiet space, play with the Nintendo Wii bowling setup, or join music programs or a gardening group, and on some days, you'll see game nights, story time, educational activities, and outings if you feel like leaving the building. Pets are allowed in some parts of the facility for those who find comfort in them, but there are areas with a no-pet policy as well, which means those with allergies or who prefer quiet can be in pet-free sections.
Housekeeping, laundry for linens, and private cleaning come with your stay, and staff are on hand to help with bathing, grooming, dressing, and anything that you need help with during the day or in the night, especially if memory's getting cloudy or you require daily medications, which the staff can manage or remind you about, plus there's an on-site pharmacy so that refills don't become a hassle, and a nurse available part-time if you need extra health care. Valley Pines Senior Living takes payments by credit card or check and accepts VA benefits for those who qualify, and even the MiChoice Waiver's an option, to help families handle costs, since there's an entry fee of $3,750 but options for all sorts of budgets, so people from different backgrounds can find a place here.
Visitors have their own parking, so family can come and go, and residents who drive keep their cars, too, and there's transportation up for request if a resident needs to get to an appointment or wants to join an off-site activity. Staff run in-house church or Bible studies, and people can get a haircut or barber service without leaving the building, which makes things easier for everyone as getting out can be hard sometimes, and people don't have to go far for services like Veterans Affairs assistance either.
Memory care services are there for folks with Alzheimer's or other memory loss, with activities to help the mind and spirit, like baking or singing, and the whole place's designed to be calm, with bright rooms, community spaces that are both relaxing and lively, and spots for new connections and friendships to start.
