Wahner House

Wahner House sits as a memory care facility focused on helping people with dementia and Alzheimer's, and you'll find dementia-trained staff on hand to help with everything from meals to toileting, bathing, transfers, and medications, round the clock, which can be reassuring for people who've got those special kinds of needs, and with its small community of just five residents, everyone can get one-on-one attention when they need it, whether that's for personal care help, bathing, dressing, or even something like diabetes management, plus the support includes things like linen service, housekeeping, scheduled activities every day, a dining room with different meal options, snacks, personal laundry, and even transportation to see the doctor. They've set up the home so that residents can have access to cable or satellite TV, Wi-Fi, and telephone, and there's a garden for getting outside and enjoying fresh air, and inside you'll find fully furnished living spaces, including a studio layout, and staff help coordinate with healthcare providers so that families don't have to scramble calling around. Wahner House brings in wellness checks every day, routine fitness activities, music therapy, beauty salon and barbershop care, and programs that aim to respect the dignity of every resident, which is important when you're dealing with memory loss and you want each person to feel looked after and safe, and even for folks with special diets or needing diabetes care, they try to cater to those needs as well. Security's always on their mind, so the environment stays safe for seniors with memory issues, which goes hand-in-hand with the 24/7 on-call help for transfers and mobility. You'll find support for families worked into the mix, too, so people don't have to feel like they're on their own, and for those in memory care or needing more support, Wahner House operates as a Community-Based Residential Facility, Adult Family Home, or Supportive Living Apartment setup, depending on how much help's needed-meaning people can get independent living with resort-style touches if that's all they require, or more moderate or highest-level care if it's necessary, with all that included in a single-story house built in 1974, sitting on a fair-sized lot, and since there's only space for five folks at any given time, there's a sense of home and not a big institution feel, which can mean a lot for someone who needs both care and comfort as they get older.
