Helping Hands

Helping Hands provides both assisted living and long-term care with 174 licensed beds in a setting that's licensed as Homes For The Aged and regulated by Regulatory Affairs, so people can expect rules and standards are followed, though there's no specific information about Medicare acceptance unless certified. The place has furnished private suites, shared rooms, and options with kitchenettes and private bathrooms, making it easy for each resident to find what's comfortable for them, plus everything comes with air-conditioning, telephone, cable, and internet. Residents get help with activities of daily living, like bathing, dressing, transfers from bed or chair, and medication management, both through planned care and on-call help, plus 24-hour supervision and emergency alert systems add another layer of safety. Folks who can't walk get non-ambulatory care and wheelchair assistance, and the staff can handle people who are aged, developmentally disabled, or living with mental illness, and there's also care for those with dementia with specialized programs. Meals come with scheduled times but can also be adjusted for special dietary restrictions, including for allergies and diabetes, and the staff prepares and serves meals, even offering all-day dining so people can eat and socialize when they want, plus there's housekeeping, laundry, and dry cleaning, meaning people don't have to deal with chores or home maintenance. Helping Hands also provides health care services that are coordinated directly with healthcare providers, including skilled nursing, wound care, recovery from substance use disorder through MI Recovery, and rehabilitation, plus there's short-term respite care for when family caregivers need a break. Social life is supported with movie nights, organized activities, daily events, walking paths, gardens, dining rooms, and transportation so residents can get to doctor appointments if needed, and there's parking for those who drive. Move-in coordination helps people settle in, and employment opportunities are available for caregivers and nurses. While the facility doesn't claim to be perfect, the wide range of services and amenities-like furnished rooms, optional kitchenettes, private bathrooms, round-the-clock health care staffing, and simple maintenance-free living-means folks can pick what fits best for their needs and families can have a little more peace of mind.
