Close To Home Senior Living is a small senior care community, owned by two healthcare professionals, where about twenty residents live, and the whole approach is about kindness, honoring each person's uniqueness, and making sure folks feel cared for, so you've got staff there who are always friendly and helpful, doing things like helping with bathing, dressing, medication, and even more personal needs, and they'll set up individualized service plans to fit each resident's preferences. Residents can get both short-term and long-term admissions, with respite care available for those needing a break or recovering after a hospital stay, and the staff keeps an eye on everyone twenty-four hours a day, keeping people safe and comfortable. Meals are home-cooked with an emphasis on nutrition and good taste, and you see options for group meals, outdoor seating, and even private rooms-some with half baths-especially upstairs at the Grantosa Home, though you need to know that mobility options like wheelchairs are supported at some locations, while canes and walkers are mostly for the first floor at certain sites.
They accept private pay and some Managed Care Organization plans, and what's practical is they don't require an endowment fee for long-term care, which can be a relief for families managing costs. Residents can get all sorts of help with daily living and companionship services, and staff really try to match companionship and activities with what each individual wants, so if someone enjoys group visits or needs one-on-one time, they make that happen, and if medical needs pop up, they contract with outside providers for services like hospice, palliative care, medical visits, therapy, and pharmacy services, plus things like podiatry, audiology, or vision checks. The place covers the basics, too, with free Wi-Fi, elevators, easy transport and parking, laundry service, and regular housekeeping, so a resident can count on things being tidy and comfortable.
Community-based residential facilities here feel like shared neighborhood homes, with live-in caregivers always nearby, and if someone's better suited to more independent living, they also have senior apartments, but for those needing more care, especially folks living with dementia, memory care services are designed to foster engagement and self-expression in a secure space. No matter what level of need, you see flexible admissions, activities, therapies, and a real focus on making each resident feel comfortable, respected, and, as much as possible, at home.
