The Perryman House

The Perryman House sits at 902 Kenreed Dr in Thomasville, North Carolina, and operates as a small residential care home with space for just six residents, so that means every person living there tends to get close, attentive care and builds close bonds with staff and neighbors, sort of like a family, which seems true because many of the caregivers are either certified nursing assistants or personal care aides, a good number of whom hold North Carolina medication aide licenses and have been trained in dementia care, so people with memory issues like Alzheimer's get understanding and proper support. The house focuses mostly on assisted living and memory care, but there's also independent living, adult foster care, skilled nursing services, and respite stays for folks who just need temporary help, and nobody needs to worry about rising fees for higher levels of care, since they use all-inclusive pricing, except for out-of-pocket costs like co-pays, medicine, and incontinence items. Perryman House offers three home-cooked meals a day that can be changed for diabetic or other special diets, and the place is kept clean and tidy by a regular housekeeping crew. Residents get 24-hour supervision, help with bathing or dressing, medication management, and there's often someone on hand making sure everyone's needs are met with a gentle touch and a straightforward manner, since caregivers have been picked both for their skills and their warm nature. For social times, the House provides regular activities, so folks might go out on trips, sit down for arts and crafts, try gardening or a cooking club, enjoy some live music, tell stories, play games, or join in on religious services-the kind of things that keep people's minds and spirits sharp. If a resident needs to get to a doctor's appointment or another outing, the House provides transportation and good parking too, and there's always something going on, whether it's a gathering out in the garden or just relaxing in the TV or dining room. Security is handled with a gate, and there's Wi-Fi, phone, and cable, along with a beautician who comes on site to help with hair or grooming. The place looks and feels homey, with fully furnished rooms and plenty of places to sit together but with enough privacy for folks who need a little quiet, and staff members know how to coordinate with outside healthcare when needed or arrange hospice care if things get tough. The House even offers a VA Benefits Consultation, so any eligible veterans can get the help they've earned. It's a clean, open space where routines are set up thoughtfully, meal prep is handled with care, and everyone, staff and residents alike, seem to look out for one another, treating each other, old or young, like family.
