Starlight Group Home, found at 2301 East 9th Street in Reno, Nevada, is a small, 9-bed residence called Summit Group Home, set up especially for older adults who need extra help but want to keep their independence, so you'll find a warm, home-like place where people get personal care right in a group setting, with private and shared rooms, some with kitchenettes, all furnished for comfort, and set up to let folks move around easily, even if they use wheelchairs. The place focuses on people who need assisted living, memory care for things like dementia and Alzheimer's, and specialized support, so there's a clear routine, safety features like emergency alert systems, walkways for getting around, and community spaces for social times.
Residents get help with daily needs like bathing, dressing, and medications, along with transportation when needed, so people don't feel stuck, and the staff pays close attention, aiming for each person to have a care plan that truly fits what they need day to day. There's a garden outside, scheduled movie nights and other activities to spark the mind and keep everyone connected, plus good meals prepared fresh and adjusted for special diets, such as diabetes or allergies, and people eat together in a comfortable dining room. There's 24-hour supervision, minimal nursing care, ways to coordinate with outside healthcare providers, and a setup that aims to lessen confusion, especially for those with memory loss, with routines and calm spaces that help ease the mind. Folks get their rooms cleaned, laundry washed, and help moving in when it's time to start living there.
The place also stands out because it was the first in Reno to have an Alzheimer's endorsement from the Bureau of Healthcare Quality and Compliance, which means the staff is trained and the environment is safer for people with memory problems. With only up to ten residents at a time, people don't get lost in the shuffle-care stays personal, and there's time for each person, whether they need brief respite care, ongoing group home support, or supervised daily routines. Rates start at $3,926 per month, which brings all the listed amenities, and you can get a quote that fits your needs. Community members stay active with daily recreational activities, use communal rooms, and spend time both inside and out, so life stays sociable and lively in a setting that encourages safety, dignity, and connection.
