The Lyman House, part of The Almost Home Group in Thomasville, North Carolina, offers housing and care for seniors in a warm, home-like setting with a cozy feel, familiar decor from the 1950s through the 1970s, and a strong sense of comfort and safety, where the staff are dedicated, trained, and certified to care for those with memory needs, offering specialized dementia and Alzheimer's care with personalized plans and activities that help reduce confusion and prevent wandering. This place provides assisted living services for seniors who need help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, meals, and medication management, and they're licensed as a North Carolina family care home, making it a trusted choice for families looking for a supportive environment that values love, safety, and dignity. Residents can choose from different senior housing options like independent living, senior apartments, condominiums, and townhomes, and for those who need extra support there's companion care, nursing home alternatives, and respite care when caregivers need a break.
Safety is a big focus here, so you'll find features like walk-in tubs, home security systems for seniors, hearing aid resources, medication dispensers, medical alert systems with information about brands such as Bay Alarm Medical, Medical Guardian, and ADT Medical Alert, and even ID theft protection for seniors. The community uses senior-friendly technology such as cable TV and internet plans, cell phones for seniors, and Wi-Fi/high-speed internet throughout the property, and rooms come with cable TV, washers and dryers, kitchens or kitchenettes, private or shared bathrooms with safety and handicap features, and regular housekeeping and maintenance.
Residents have access to meals and high-quality dining, special dining programs, housekeeping, laundry, and dry cleaning, with a beauty salon and barber shop on the property for convenience, as well as a fitness center, game and activities room, and a secure enclosed courtyard for spending time outdoors. The staff provides transportation for medical visits or outings, and the schedule includes regular trips, field trips, and a full calendar of social, arts and crafts, educational, and health and wellness activities led by dedicated activity directors, so there's always something for people to do whether they like group events or more private, structured activities tailored to each person's interests and needs.
The Lyman House welcomes pets, including both cats and dogs, and offers devotional services onsite and offsite for those who want them, with an environment that feels bright, warm, and rooted in the local lifestyle. Staff here focus on providing personal care and walking or wheelchair assistance, and they pride themselves on a very strong caregiver-to-resident ratio, which helps everyone get the attention they need and lets families know their loved ones are supported. This setting offers an alternative to more institutional nursing homes or locked Alzheimer's units, where the aim is for residents to feel comfortable, stay mentally and physically active, and continue enjoying daily life with as much independence as possible.
