Showalter Center sits on a woodland campus at 1060 Showalter Drive, right inside Warm Hearth Village, and this place offers many living choices for seniors, like independent living for active folks, assisted living for those needing help with daily routines, memory care for people with dementia, and also skilled nursing care and long-term nursing care, so folks don't have to move far if their health needs change. The apartments come in studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom sizes, each with a full bath, kitchen or kitchenette, and they offer patios where residents can enjoy the fresh air and watch for wildlife on several walking paths around the community. Residents need to be at least 55 or 62 years old, depending on the specific program, and most join because they can take care of themselves but want support or more social activity, though assisted living provides more help when needed, like with bathing, grooming, dressing, and medication management, with staff available all day and night and a licensed dietician working alongside two RNs and two LPNs.
Meals come easy since there's a dining room serving three meals daily, and snacks, plus the Fireside Grill offers soups, sandwiches, and burgers every day. Housekeeping, laundry, and most nursing services get bundled with the monthly rent, along with water, heat, and electricity, so there's not too much to worry about, but extra services can be added if needed, with support for medication distribution and personal laundry and weekly cleaning. On the social side, Showalter Center provides activities like movie nights, game nights, book clubs, and spiritual programs, with many common areas, a beauty salon, and even their own Treasure Trove Thrift Store, while transportation helps folks get to medical appointments and shopping trips, and a bank, hairstylist, and grocery shop are all handy on the property.
Therapies available onsite include physical, occupational, and speech therapies, and the staff pays close attention to residents with Alzheimer's disease or dementia, creating safe routines and offering support groups within the community, while also connecting people to wider resources like insurance counseling and home health services. There's easy access to internet and cable TV, emergency response systems, and the Village Center serves as a hub for events and support programs. Showalter Center operates as a nonprofit under a volunteer Board of Directors, staying focused on community wellness, safety, and dignity for seniors, and with full access to Warm Hearth Village's wider services and activities, folks tend to find plenty to do and people to meet, whether they're walking the leafy paths or joining planned events in one of the many shared spaces.
