Saint Ann Assisted Living Center sits on one floor with wide hallways, so folks using walkers or wheelchairs can move around easy, and there's always someone nearby because staff work 24 hours a day, keeping watch and answering emergency calls from any apartment or bathroom if needed, and the staff includes nurses, state-certified medication aides, a doctor on call, and even an in-house psychiatrist. The community is medium-sized with licensed beds for forty residents, and it keeps a friendly feel because the staff know the folks who live there and help with things like bathing, dressing, grooming, and making sure medicine is taken right, which is good for people who like some independence but need a little support for daily things. Saint Ann Assisted Living Center takes care to offer diabetic care like insulin injections and sliding scale therapy, incontinence reminders to use the restroom, and memory care for people with Alzheimer's or dementia in a safe area designed to prevent wandering, plus personalized care services to match each person's needs.
Residents can join in scheduled activities every day: bingo, crafts, movie nights, birthday events, and church services, with options for both Catholic and non-denominational worship, and there's a van for special outings so folks who want to get out now and then can do so without hassle. Meals are included three times a day, home-cooked and balanced for taste and nutrition, plus snacks, with options for special diets like low/no sugar or low/no sodium, and residents have access to two dining rooms, including a private space for visits with family and friends. For those who like to get outside, there are scenic walking paths and patio gardens, and for indoor time, there's a TV lounge, piano and organ, library, and a spacious multi-purpose room for events or just chatting with neighbors. Residents' rooms get free satellite TV, internet, housekeeping, laundry, and all utilities are covered, with both private and semi-private rooms available.
The center has a barber and beauty shop on-site, as well as a podiatrist, dentist, eye care, and therapists for physical, occupational, and speech needs, alongside a 24-hour pharmacy, laboratory, and X-ray services, so people usually don't have to leave for checkups or prescriptions. Folks who use wheelchairs will find showers and other features accessible, and the place supports aging in place, so most people can keep living there even if their care needs grow over time, which they call continuing care retirement community services, covering independent living, assisted living, memory care, nursing home care, and skilled nursing with rehabilitation, all under one roof. Staff run resident activities, support social and mental health, and even track who would rather have light care, so everyone feels included. Social workers help with paperwork or other needs, and there's guest parking plus bus lines nearby for visitors, with transportation available for residents too.
Saint Ann Assisted Living Center got the Best of Senior Living All Star Award for receiving lots of good reviews and another Best of Senior Living Award for care and support across many types of senior living. Folks say the staff are friendly and helpful, and the community tries to keep a welcoming, joyful atmosphere. Smoking is allowed but only in certain outdoor spots, and there's always someone awake at night in case anyone needs something. Residents can take part in devotional activities or use the amenities, like the high-speed internet, salon, library, or gardens, so there's always a way to keep busy or relax. Meals, care, activities, and support for daily living are all included, and the facility is part of Care Network of St. Ann, so it's well connected for health and comfort as people age.
