Belle Reve Senior Living sits at 404 E Harford St, Milford, Pennsylvania, and is managed by Heritage Senior Living, providing Personal Care and Memory Care services so older adults who need some help or have Alzheimer's or other memory problems can get what they need, and when you look around you'll notice big comfortable rooms with hardwood floors, studios, one-bedroom, semi-private, and two-bedroom options, so people can pick the kind of space they're comfortable with, and the spaces have indoor and outdoor areas for relaxing, big rooms for exercise or meetings, even an enclosed courtyard, which makes group activities easier and lets people enjoy the outdoors or garden a bit if they choose. The community offers meals every day, with vegetarian options and the ability to accommodate gluten-free diets, so residents don't have to worry about cooking, and the dining room is colorful and designed so people can sit together or meet over food, which is nice if you value company at mealtimes, and you'll find an onsite beautician to help folks feel good about themselves, plus therapy services-including pet therapy-to encourage staying active and connected.
Belle Reve serves people with many different needs because it's designed to support folks who need just a little help, those who need lots of assistance, and those whose needs change over time, so you don't have to worry as much about moving out if care needs get higher, and it has fees based on care level-like high and medium care needs, plus a one-time community fee and daily respite rates for folks who just want a short stay or caregivers who need a break. Care services cover pretty much what most older adults might want whether that's help with grooming, bathing, reminders for taking medicine, diabetes care including insulin injections and blood sugar checks, or even support for folks with bowel and bladder incontinence-the staff can remind residents to use the restroom or help with changing if needed, and they're trained to use mechanical lifts for people who need help moving, even if they can't walk on their own.
For people living with dementia or who wander, Belle Reve has a separate building for Memory Care, which includes locked doors, secured courtyards, and technology like bracelets and computerized alerts if someone tries to leave or go somewhere unsafe, so elopement risks and folks with behavior problems are watched closely, and they can stay as safe and comfortable as possible. Night or day, awake staff are always on duty, with licensed practical nurses onsite, a doctor on call, and visiting nurses, which helps families worry a little less in case something goes wrong. Belle Reve offers hospice care when needed, respite care for families who just want temporary help, and programs that help people age in place, so most residents can stay in familiar surroundings through different stages of life.
Social interaction is encouraged with a full schedule of group activities, hobbies, games, stretching classes, karaoke, trips out, gardening, and even pet-focused programs, all led by a full-time activity director; devotional services-onsite and offsite-add a spiritual dimension for those who want it. There are both free and paid transportation services, along with resident parking, so getting to doctor appointments or outings around Milford, nearby Middletown, New York, Sussex, New Jersey, or even the Pocono Mountains is possible. Belle Reve is plain about its goal to make daily life less stressful, offering individualized care for every resident and keeping things simple and comfortable, with two main levels of care so people can find the fit that works for them.
