The Holly House is a small assisted living community licensed for up to six seniors, and they do a good job at making the rooms and common areas feel home-like and fully furnished. The building sits apartment-style, and folks get help with most needs-from bathing and dressing to help getting in and out of the shower-without needing family to step in all the time. The Holly House provides healthcare like diabetic care, high acuity care, hospice care, memory care, incontinence care, non-ambulatory care, and they can support different dietary needs like kosher, vegetarian, diabetic meals, and low-salt for folks with high blood pressure. There's support for things like insulin doses and two-person transfers when staff numbers allow it, and they've got wheelchair accessible showers in each room and daily home-cooked meals, so you don't have to worry about eating alone or missing out on familiar foods.
The staff run programs called music therapy, pet therapy, and craft programs, and also have scheduled social evenings, tabletop games, and exercise programs. Residents can join in devotionals, Christian services, or off-site trips, and The Holly House arranges transportation for doctor's appointments, errands, faith-based programs, and even has complimentary or at-cost rides and resident parking. They've made it easy for people who need help with travel or getting out and about, which is handy if mobility isn't what it used to be. Pets are welcome-dogs and cats up to a certain limit-so you can bring a friend along, and the building stays comfortable with indoor and outdoor common areas, a book room, a recreation room, a steam room or health area, a hot tub, a swimming pool, and a garden where you can spend some quiet time outside.
There's a traveling barber or stylist that comes by for grooming, and the beautician services help you keep up with self-care. The Holly House supports hygiene care, toileting help, and dressing support daily, which can be a weight off for people who find those things tricky now. They also offer respite care, so you can stay for a short time if a caregiver needs a break, and they've got programs to help keep folks engaged so days don't feel too long or lonely. Everything's set up to make living here comfortable and safe, with special care types and named activities that suit what older adults need most, and there's always something going on for people who want to be a bit more social or active.
