Carol Ann's Home sits in a single-story building that feels warm and inviting, with private rooms and old features you don't see everywhere, and folks often say the place looks and feels like a real home because it used to be family houses-one's even on a golf course and another sits in the woods, so you get views of wildlife out on the covered patio where residents can walk the path and visit with each other or just take in the outdoors. The small size keeps things personal, with only 16 residents at max in each house and a staff-to-resident ratio of at least 1 to 8, so people get plenty of attention, and the care's always there, day and night, whether someone needs memory care, assisted living, or even simple independent support, with a team that's trained to work with folks with dementia, Alzheimer's, or memory loss, and everything works off what they call a Person-Centered approach, which means staff and families make plans together to suit each person's needs.
Bathrooms are thoughtfully included in care plans, and accommodations range from studios to single and two-bedroom spaces, all with kitchens or kitchenettes, plus cable and phone, and comfortable amenities like WiFi, guest parking, and a game and activities room. There's plenty to do, too, since there are organized activities, entertainment, exercise in the fitness area, a salon and barbershop, and even weekly holiday events and family gatherings, which keeps everyone socially connected. Meals are all home-cooked and the kitchen never closes, so snacks are always available and residents can actually see and smell meals getting made in the open kitchen, and meals can be eaten together in the big dining areas or brought to private rooms if needed. Laundry, housekeeping, and maintenance are all part of regular service, and transportation's available for appointments or outings, so residents don't have to worry about the little things.
Safety's a high priority at Carol Ann's Home with handicap accessibility, a sprinkler system, a secure unit for those who need it, a working emergency call system, and staff ready round-the-clock-plus open visiting hours so families can come by any time they want. This place keeps things comfortable rather than clinical, since the buildings are big, well-decorated, and never feel institutional, and everything's kept clean. There are memory care programs that use different methods than standard homes, and assistance goes as far as bereavement and grief support for loved ones, vocational rehab, counseling, benefits help, disability screening, and even advocacy services.
Carol Ann's Home offers both assisted living and memory care, plus residential care, home care, and senior apartments, all focused on helping seniors stay independent but supported, in a home-like setting where dignity and individual needs come first. The staff's described as compassionate and experienced, always working to help residents succeed with whatever they need, and everything from medication reminders and disability equipment to extra help with daily tasks is provided, with hospice staff able to join in if required. Since opening in October 2008, Carol Ann's Home has continued as a family-owned and operated facility, with a focus on making every person's quality of life as high as possible in familiar, safe, and comfortable surroundings.
