Foundations

Foundations sits out on US Route 40 in New Paris, Ohio, and you'll find it provides a wide mix of support for folks, making it a choice for many types of needs as you get older-like if you need help with daily things such as medication, dressing, or bathing, or if you've got physical or mental health challenges that require you to have 24-hour nursing care, or maybe you just want a place that lets you live independently but still be around others. There are different ways to live at Foundations, whether you're pretty active and handle most things on your own, or you need a live-in caregiver in a smaller, home-like setting; some spaces are set up as residential care homes in the neighborhood meant for those who might want more day-to-day help within a shared house, while others are more of the traditional nursing center type with about 130 beds or a spot in the licensed facilities for people with intellectual disabilities where there's room for 66, all certified by Medicaid and Medicare. You can tell Foundations pays attention to care by keeping Licensed Nurses and Direct Support Professionals on staff, and they offer specialized programs, including Intermediate Care Facilities and Home and Community-Based Waiver Services, which means some folks can get help while still living in their own homes. You'll also see plenty of activities, and they organize things like social gatherings, outings, and events, with indoor common areas where people come together, and there are devotional activities right on-site for those who want spiritual engagement along with gym, spa, salon, and therapy services for physical rehab, whether it's speech, occupational, or physical therapy you need. The meals are prepared by chefs and meal planners who focus on good nutrition and taste-trying to make sure everyone's getting what they need-as well as transportation to get you to appointments or errands, and help with cleaning, laundry, and grooming, too. Foundations has a warm, community feel and tries to let people keep as much independence as possible while still being there if someone needs more support, whether for memory care for those with Alzheimer's and dementia-complete with features to help prevent wandering and manage confusion-or simple companionship and social activities for folks wanting to stay active and connected. It's a steady choice for many families looking to match care and housing to someone's needs, and the local senior living advisor service can help guide you as you figure out what might work best.
