Close To Home I

Close To Home I sits in Lawrence County as a medium-sized senior living community where folks find personal care in a home-like environment, and families often talk about the staff being helpful, joyful, and kind which really creates a friendly place for residents. The facility offers 25 licensed beds and both studio and single-bedroom units, and there are semi-private living options, all fully furnished and some with kitchenettes, which makes things comfortable. Residents have outdoor areas, landscaped gardens, and walking paths, giving chances for fresh air and exercise, while a fitness area, arts room, barber and hair salon, small library, and communal kitchen provide more ways to spend time, with regular exercise, music, art, and movie programs available, plus items like hot tubs or steam rooms possibly present too. Meals get a lot of attention, with three homemade, chef-prepared dishes served daily in a dining room, and people can sit in a private dining area if they want, with meals planned for dietary needs like diabetes, allergies, or high blood pressure, always overseen by a dietitian to keep things healthy and enjoyable. There's a 24-hour awake staff, supervision, and a call system for safety, and you'll find personal and health care on hand for daily things like bathing, dressing, transfers, and medication management, with more help for Parkinson's, physical therapy, and feeding if necessary, plus incontinence care, bathroom reminders, and a nurse on-site for support. The staff arranges doctor visits, shopping, and religious service rides, so transportation isn't a big worry, and there are regular entertainment choices, from movie nights and group games to music and pet therapy, with both community-sponsored and resident-run events aimed at keeping everyone social and mentally active. Housekeeping, linen services, and laundry are all included, so rooms stay neat, and folks don't have to fret about chores, and there's even a mobile hairdresser or barber visiting. Some rooms have HD TVs, and there's a quiet book room for readers, and the place also provides massage services or access to a steam room, giving small comforts along the way. The community can take care of special diets, and staff gives help with mealtimes if someone needs it, while home health services, bathroom support, and medication help are part of the daily routine, and there's an option for short-term respite stays when families need a break. Nearby medical offices like Ironton Urgent Care, Ironton Vision Center, and Fruth Pharmacy mean seeing a doctor or getting medicine is simple. With long-term care, assisted living, and some memory support options, Close To Home I supports seniors at different care levels, and there are always community activities to encourage social, physical, and mental well-being. The facility's received recognition from the Best of Senior Living award and holds a 6.4 community score on Seniorly's system, reflecting steady medical and care support, as well as the kindness staff show day to day.
