Paul House and Healthcare Center

Paul House and Healthcare Center has stood in the community for over 100 years, with a reputation for steady care and being a part of the neighborhood's history, and it operates as a non-profit senior living community that welcomes residents starting at age 55. The place has different living options, including assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, independent living, post-acute rehabilitation, and short-term respite care, all organized into specialized communities so residents can get the sort of help they need, and they also offer long-term nursing care, palliative care, and hospice support for people at the end of life. The facility keeps nurses and staff for years, some even 5 to 10 years, which helps with consistent care, and the team works together across departments like nursing, therapy, activities, and social services to make sure residents get well-rounded support, including having a medical doctor assigned to each resident. They provide on-site skilled nursing and therapy services, with physical and occupational therapists coming in regularly, and residents who've had strokes or need rehabilitation can get personalized therapy right there in the building. There's specialized training for staff who care for people with memory troubles, such as Alzheimer's or dementia, and residents with these needs live in secure areas where the staff gives them brain-challenging activities and safety. The community has various private studios and one-bedroom apartments, along with indoor common spaces, a beauty salon, activity centers, and a well-stocked library, plus the grounds are secure for people who need that extra level of safety. Seniors can join in resident musical groups, arts and crafts, games, book discussions, yoga and chair yoga classes, and regular exercise programs, and there's an activity program running every day, so people can always find a way to stay busy or spend time with neighbors if they want to. Meals are served restaurant-style in the community dining rooms, and the center also provides laundry and housekeeping. On-site barber and haircut services are available, and there's both religious services on and offsite for those interested, with devotional services included in the amenities. Each resident gets help with things like medication, dressing, grooming, bath and toilet tasks, as needed, and staff is always present 24 hours a day to give extra assistance or respond quickly if something happens. Complimentary transportation helps residents get to appointments or community outings, and there are monthly trips, offsite activities, and local volunteer programs, some involving nearby schools, that encourage inter-generational friendships and engagement. Pets are allowed, which lets those who want to keep an animal companion do so, but smoking isn't allowed anywhere indoors, either in private rooms or public spaces. There's a focus on comfort and safety, and the rental fee model means the community aims to offer a lifetime of care no matter how a person's needs might change. Family members get regular updates, and everyone's encouraged to join in activities that suit their interests, whether it's birdwatching, trying out arts and crafts, or just taking part in everyday social events. The atmosphere feels neighborly, with a lot of chances for people to interact and build friendships, and for those who need extra medical support or memory care, the programs and staff are ready to help with specialized, personal care anytime.
