Village Care Homes Assisted Living—Eldridge

Village Care Homes Assisted Living-Eldridge sits on North Eldridge Parkway in a small, quiet neighborhood, and has space for only a handful of seniors in its nine spacious bedrooms, most with en-suite bathrooms, so you'll find it keeps a home-like and calm feeling compared to the larger facilities. The building's a craftsman-style home with about 5,900 square feet, furnished rooms you can personalize, and open living and dining areas where folks gather for meals or group activities like crafts, and there's a separate sitting room for visiting or reading. Staff are always around, 24/7, with a low caregiver-to-resident ratio, making sure everybody gets the help they need, whether it's bathing, grooming, dressing, medication reminders, or moving around the house with assistance-including two-person transfers, if needed-and people can get personalized care plans that change as their needs do.

Residents have company and a sense of family here, building relationships with both staff and each other, and the community's kept pet-friendly so folks can bring their animals, which can help make it feel even more like home. The kitchen serves up three home-cooked meals a day, made from scratch, with snacks too, and does special diets like diabetic meals and special feeding routines when needed. There are daily housekeeping and laundry services, and the living areas, both inside and out, give people spaces to relax-some sit at the covered patio by the water features, others enjoy outdoor patio dining, and some like to relax in the sparkling swimming pool or hot tub, which can also be used for easy, gentle pool exercise.

Activities vary from day to day-could be crafts, could be animal visits, or social and spiritual gatherings-always adapting to what folks enjoy and need, and there's an option for outings, too. Healthcare visits come right to the house, with a dentist, a podiatrist, and beauty/barber staff making regular stops. There's assistance for incontinence and toileting, managed carefully and kindly, and round-the-clock care also extends to help for folks with Alzheimer's or dementia, with systems in place for safety, like a commercial fire sprinkler and a backup generator so there's no worry if the power ever goes out. Staff can help with end-of-life care or offer short-term stays-with respite options that start at a daily rate for at least seven days-and families can stay involved in care planning. WIFI and cable TV are free, so a person can easily keep in touch with family or catch up on their favorites.

All in all, Village Care Homes Assisted Living-Eldridge keeps things simple, quiet, and supportive, focusing on the comfort, safety, and happiness of the people living there above anything else, and there's plenty of company and regular things to do to keep minds and bodies active.
