Mount Alverna Village sits on a quiet and well-kept 24-acre campus, offering a safe and homelike place for seniors who want independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, respite care, or rehabilitation, and being nonprofit and part of a Catholic healthcare tradition means they welcome people of all faiths, focusing on health, happiness, and spiritual well-being. The community has many services that cover needs from daily support with things like bathing and dressing to skilled nursing and memory care for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, and there are round-the-clock nurses, help with taking medicine, and plans made just for each person. Seniors live in garden homes, apartments, or private rooms, with choices for rooms that are accessible and well-furnished, and you find things in the rooms like beds, desks, wardrobes, recliners, TVs, lamps, and nice sitting areas where you can read or relax.
There's a big dining area where people come together for meals or enjoy all-day dining with a menu made for different diets, including ones for diabetes or food allergies, and there's a special restaurant-style service so meals can feel like eating out, plus registered dietitians and cooks follow any restrictions a doctor gives. Meals use fresh, local ingredients and the dining spaces have lots of light. Housekeeping, laundry, and even dry cleaning are all included, so residents don't need to worry about chores, and staff help with moving in to make things easier. Seniors can connect to free Wi-Fi, use the computers, read large-print books or audiobooks in a well-stocked library, or get help from the beautician and barber so hair and grooming needs are covered on-site.
The setting outside is pleasant, with gardens, walking paths, a pond with a fountain, and courtyards with benches and flowers, all cared for and easy to get around, plus there's a fitness center if someone wants to exercise and a chapel with stained glass for reflection or attending a service. There are programs and activities every day, both planned by the community and run by residents, ranging from exercise classes to educational outings, religious services, games, and garden work, and the calendar is always full, so people can stay active whatever they like to do. Pets are welcome and add to the homelike feel, and families will notice there's an emergency call system in every room, security for safety, transportation to appointments, and no smoking allowed inside.
Care is personal and respectful, with help given for as much or as little as someone needs, and those needing short-term care after surgery or illness are welcome for respite stays, getting the same help and comfort as anyone else. The campus is kept clean, is handicap accessible, and the focus on community means seniors can enjoy a social life, make friends, and have privacy when wanted, plus spiritual, mental, and physical health are all seen as important. Mount Alverna Village keeps things simple yet complete, giving seniors safe, reliable, and supportive care in a setting that really feels like home.
