Options Plus

Options Plus sits on Upton Road in Colchester, CT, and offers a mix of care services for seniors, so if you're looking for a place that gives support with daily tasks like bathing or dressing and handles medication management, this place covers those needs, and you'll find both Assisted Living and Residential Care Home settings here, which means there are shared homes for people who need a live-in caregiver and also spots for folks who want their own bit of independence but need a little help sometimes. Options Plus has memory care as well, so seniors dealing with Alzheimer's or dementia can get 24-hour support and take part in specialized activities meant to help memory, and there's skilled nursing for those who need medical care around the clock or short-term rehab, and independent living for those who like the idea of maintenance-free living with the option to get some support if they need it, plus there's daily meals, personal care, social activities, high-speed Wi-Fi, transportation, and parking. Residents have access to personalized care, and the staff emphasizes tailoring their services, so everyone gets the kind of help that fits them best, whether they need a little assistance or more hands-on attention, and for families who need a break, there's respite care so loved ones can rest while their family member is cared for in a secure setting. Besides all that, Options Plus also deals with water testing and treatment, having served residential and commercial customers since 1997, and down the years, they've handled everything from testing private well systems to installing and maintaining water softeners, UV systems, and filters, plus checking and replacing well caps, chlorinating wells to handle bacteria, and giving full inspections that cover tank and well safety; and that's a detail that's a bit different from most, since you usually wouldn't expect water service expertise at a senior living place, but they handle both sides-caring for people and managing the water systems-so if safe, treated water is important to you, you'll find that taken care of here. Office hours run from 7:30am to 4:30pm during the week, and the facilities close on weekends, and if you need to, you can use the store locator to find products or have them delivered directly, with an array of natural, gentle medicines based on traditional homeopathic ideas, though that's offered alongside the senior care, not instead of. Amenities cover the basics and more, with reliable internet, transportation, parking, meals, and recreation, and when it comes to care, there's a variety of programs and resources under the name Options Plus, including memory care, nursing, and different kinds of residential living, so you get several choices under one roof at this community.
