St Joseph Care Home sits at 456 Highland Ave in Reno, Nevada, just a block from the University of Nevada and three blocks from I-80, which makes it easy for families or medical staff to stop by, and the place itself fills about 10,000 square feet on a lot that's about 30,659 square feet, so there's a bit of outdoor space, some garden areas, and places to sit outside when the weather's nice. The home's licensed for up to 53 beds, but right now about 79% are filled, which means there's some room left. The care home's got a residential focus, trying to make the place feel comfortable and safe for folks, and though the building itself gets updates and renovations from time to time, it still feels lived-in and like a real home. Folks live here who need some help with daily activities, so staff are around to help with things like bathing, dressing, hygiene, and getting meals, and if someone needs more help because of memory problems or Alzheimer's, there's a memory care program too.
There aren't published prices, but the word around the area is that the average price nearby is about $1,543, though you'd have to check directly to learn what costs might be. The assisted living side is tailored for seniors who still like some independence, but might need help with medicine, meals, cleaning, and laundry. St Joseph offers three home-cooked meals every day, and they'll modify meals for special diets like low salt or diabetes if needed, and the cook uses good ingredients. There's a full list of daily activities, so there's movie nights, fitness or exercise classes, some music and crafts, a book room for reading, a hot tub and steam room, and even a salon where a mobile hairdresser or stylist might stop by. There's plenty of social activities, so people can join in for tabletop games, animal therapy, social evening events, music therapy, or trips outside for shopping, medical appointments, or even church if they want.
You'll find rooms with standard amenity setups, and there's staff around who get described as kind, helpful, and lively, doing their best to make sure everyone feels at home and can join in as much as they want. Laundry and housekeeping come with the service, and if a resident needs transportation to run errands or see the doctor, the staff can help set that up, which makes life a bit easier for families. All the care's meant to fit what each person needs, so if someone wants to be left alone sometimes, that's fine, but if they want to join in on community life, there are plenty of chances, and that's why a lot of folks think of St Joseph Care Home as a friendly, family-style place for older adults in Highland, Reno.
