Shelby Gardens Place

Shelby Gardens Place sits on seven park-like acres and offers a safe place for seniors who want a bit of help with daily life in a warm, homey setting, and folks live here both in assisted living and memory care apartments, plus there's independent living for those who still want their own routines with just a little less worry about chores. Residents find a team around day and night, including nurses who handle medication and care coordination right on site, the place even has an emergency response system and big suites-both private and companion-with bathrooms set up for safety, and you'll see the staff helping with meals, laundry, housekeeping, bathing, dressing, and all those daily tasks, and for those who need a bit more, there's incontinence care, help with diabetes, memory or behavioral care, mechanical lifts, and even technology like bracelets to keep folks from wandering without getting lost. People eat three good, home-cooked meals a day in the dining room, and they can enjoy special diets like low sodium or sugar-free if needed, and family or guests can visit and even share a meal, there are also private dining rooms for special occasions, and restaurant-style service makes meal times a time for visiting and unwinding with neighbors. Social life is lively, with a full-time activities team, plenty of games, trips around town, art classes, brain fitness, karaoke, Wii Bowling, educational talks, gardening, and even wine tastings, with a big 24/7 calendar so there's always some kind of event or group going on. The community's pet-friendly, so cats and dogs are welcome, and there's even pet care available for those who need help keeping up with four-legged friends, and both residents and visitors get free parking around the campus, which has outdoor patio gardens, courtyards, porch areas, and a safe walking area. Inside, there's a game room, a TV lounge, piano and organ for singalongs when the mood strikes, a meeting room for gatherings, and both indoor and outdoor spaces for everyone to enjoy, and folks can use the onsite beauty salon or barber shop, have laundry and dry cleaning handled for them, and access free Wi-Fi anywhere on campus. Shelby Gardens Place has a strong focus on helping seniors with memory issues, with their memory care sitting in its own secure building, using technology to prevent wandering and confusion, and each resident there has a tailored care plan, daily group activities, and lots of support from trained staff who understand Alzheimer's disease and dementia. Hospice care, short-term respite care, and therapy or podiatry visits happen on site, and scheduled transportation takes residents to appointments or outings in the local area, so even folks who don't drive can stay active, get to the doctor, or just enjoy seeing new things. With all utilities, except phone and cable, included, plus things like a full-time maintenance crew and a pharmacy that stays on top of medications, the community tries to keep life as simple, safe, and enjoyable as possible for the people living here, without making big promises about perfection, but making sure there's real help, real support, and activities to fill the days in good company. The Hamister Group, Inc. manages Shelby Gardens Place, and they're connected with other senior living places, so families often find some peace of mind in knowing the place follows strong standards for day-to-day life. The facility accepts residents with a wide range of care needs, from light help with a few daily tasks to heavy care for complex issues, and it supports both folks who want to stay independent and those who need more steady assistance.
