The Cottages at St. John's United has a single-story building set up to help seniors who need support with daily living and those who live with Alzheimer's or other dementias. The place has private and semi-private rooms, all designed for comfort and safety, and you'll see features like wide hallways, secure doors, walking paths, a garden, and a gazebo where folks can enjoy some fresh air with ease. The staff, including registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants, are always around, day and night, to help residents, and there's support from nutritionists, social service workers, plus therapy specialists for physical, occupational, or speech needs. The Cottages focuses on memory support, so residents getting memory care have special areas made to limit confusion and prevent wandering, with trained caregivers who know how to work with dementia, and there are daily memory activities, cognitive exercises, and therapies to help with things like anxiety, irritation, and forgetfulness.
There are independent living options too, such as senior apartments, condos, and townhomes, which are suitable for folks who want their own space but like having some help nearby, and assisted living is available for those who can move on their own but might need a hand with things like bathing, dressing, or taking medicine. Every bedroom comes furnished and has an en-suite bathroom, and there are cozy shared areas with fireplaces, an open kitchen, and a dining area where people gather for meals, share stories, or attend movie nights and other events. Meals happen on a regular schedule in a communal dining room, and the kitchen can serve special diets, like for allergies or diabetes, and there's staff to handle housekeeping and laundry as well, which makes daily life a little lighter.
For safety, the Cottages use emergency alert systems, medication dispensers, and home security tools. Residents have easy transportation to appointments or events, and there's even help with shopping if needed. The community's got regular activities, fitness and recreation amenities, a salon, and social programs, so there are always things to do or people to talk to. The Cottages at St. John's United aims to make everyone feel comfortable and welcome, giving care that's tailored to each person's needs, trying to help every resident have good days, whether it's helping with a memory, supporting independence, or just sharing a meal and a laugh.
