Grace Family Care runs a small, licensed, 10-bed memory care community in a quiet neighborhood, and the place is run and owned by Annie Cotrau, R.N., who's been in healthcare for over twenty years and stays involved in the day-to-day. The community keeps things home-like and calm, focusing on a family feel for people who need assisted living, memory care, respite care after surgery, or daytime support while caregivers take a break. Staff are trained to work with dementia and mild cognitive impairment, and every resident gets one-on-one support for daily needs like bathing, toileting, medication management, and eating, so folks don't just get care, they see the same caring faces and feel that familiarity. Staff look after residents around the clock, help with transfers and emergency evacuations, and coordinate with doctors, nurses, hospice, and other healthcare workers to keep health in check and make sure every person's needs are met, whether it's skilled care, pain management, or even rehab.
Residents eat three home-cooked meals every day, with snacks and drinks served throughout, and can take part in movie nights, arts and crafts, games, music, and gardening. The facility celebrates birthdays and family events, has a gorgeous backyard, large patios, a circular, wheelchair-friendly garden path, and the whole place is secure with door alarms, sprinklers, and a generator for safety. Private and shared rooms have WiFi and cable, and there are communal gathering spaces that feel more like a home than a hospital. The garden is meant for folks to get outside when the weather's nice, and there's a focus on independent living as much as possible, with transportation to shopping, access to an in-house pharmacy, and help with every aspect of care.
The staff includes part-time nurses and caregivers who know how to handle dementia, and services cover everything from laundry and cleaning to health check-ups and adult day care. The facility lets families try short-term stays, so people can see if the home-like setting fits, and people can bring pets. There's space for residents to socialize or enjoy peace and quiet as they wish, and everyone's dignity, privacy, and personal wishes matter. The whole place is licensed-facility ID 104078, License No. 308958-and accepts checks and insurance. Grace Family Care keeps things simple and focused, offering an alternative to bigger long-term care places, with programs and support groups for residents and family, activities to encourage independence and friendship, and a daily routine that balances safety, health, and happiness.
