Etheridge House Senior Living sits over in Union City as a privately owned and locally operated community where residents and staff get treated like family and where folks try to make the place feel cozy, warm, and homelike, so when you walk in through the covered entry porch with seating, you might notice the soft lighting, tastefully chosen furniture, and calm colors giving off a friendly feeling right away, and there's always someone around since they're open all day, every day. The community offers many levels of care like Assisted Living, Memory Care, Adult Day Care, Nursing & Rehab, and Skilled Nursing, and the whole place is meant to help residents feel safe, comfortable, and valued at every stage, whether they need a little help with daily living such as bathing and dressing or a higher level of skilled care after surgery or illness.
Folks who need support with memory issues due to things like Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia have access to a special, secure neighborhood with just 20 rooms, private bedrooms, soothing lighting, big windows with natural light, and secure features that reduce confusion and keep everyone safe, and the memory care side uses the Best Friends™ Approach to keep things familiar and comforting while staff provide the kind of close attention needed for memory loss. The adult day care space has comfy couches, chairs, and TVs in the common rooms for those who just need a safe, friendly spot during the day, and residents or their families can choose short-term respite stays too if they have temporary needs.
Everywhere you look, you'll see warm, open common areas-like big kitchens, dining rooms with set tables, and cozy sitting rooms with armchairs-and people can enjoy meals made by an on-site chef, relax in the small spa and beauty salon with real styling chairs and sinks, or just sit and chat in the common areas. The dining spaces let residents gather for meals and company, while the private dining room is good for special family visits. Rooms are designed with privacy and comfort in mind, with things like kitchenettes, air conditioning, ground floor access, and handicap-friendly layouts, so people can make their space their own and really settle in.
The staff handles all the practical help with things like incontinence care, non-ambulatory needs, and diabetic care, plus they look after medication management and personal care tasks for residents who can't quite do it all on their own anymore. For memory care, the place puts security first, using safeguards that help prevent wandering while still giving folks as much freedom and sunlight as possible.
Engagement's a big part of life here, so there's always a calendar full of activities meant to keep everyone active, social, and involved with craft projects, social hours, and programs that fit what people want to do. Therapy services, both for chronic health issues and after an injury or hospital stay, are right there if needed, and support ranges from independent living up through skilled nursing, all under one roof. Pets aren't mentioned, but the community is locally operated as part of Americare and keeps up the idea of Hometown Hospitality™ and neighborly care.
