Shenandoah House is a residential care facility that serves older adults who need a place to live with support and personal care, and while some locations are larger, the one known as Shenandoah House is a small home with room for six people, which makes it feel close-knit and familiar, like an extended family where everyone's name is known and people look out for each other. The staff includes registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and volunteers, all of whom help take care of residents around the clock, offering help with things like bathing, dressing, medication reminders, and moving around the house, and there's always someone nearby to help with daily needs, keep things tidy, and arrange transportation when it's needed for appointments or errands. Shenandoah House offers board and care home services alongside assisted living, so seniors who want some independence but need help with daily tasks find support here, and people needing more personalized care, such as those with memory care needs, get specialized help in a safe setting.
The home has small comforts like four private bedrooms with direct patio access, private bathrooms, and personalized touches, all made to feel welcoming and easy to move around in; it also has a kitchen where meals are made, a family room for relaxing, a dining room for shared meals, a fireplace, and a piano for music and gatherings. For fresh air and peace of mind, there's a sunroom that opens to a covered patio, and the gardens have pathways and sensory features where residents can walk or sit quietly. There's a special bathing facility for those who need help, so even people who're bed-bound can stay comfortable. Community-sponsored activities like movie nights, walking groups, or social gatherings happen regularly in common areas, and meals can be arranged for different diets like diabetes or food allergies, with options to eat throughout the day. Housekeeping, laundry, and move-in coordination make moving in and daily living simpler.
Since Shenandoah House is also designed to help people in the last stage of life, it provides a home-like atmosphere for hospice patients who can't be at home alone anymore, giving year-round care for about 85 to 100 people each year, and families can use spaces like the meditation room for quiet time with clergy or grief specialists. Residents get help with daily activities, meals, and medication management, while staff work closely with healthcare providers. Shenandoah House aims to support each resident's comfort, dignity, and independence for as long as possible, all within a safe and well-kept home.
