Clark House Nursing Center at Fox Hill Village sits at 30 Longwood Drive in Westwood, Massachusetts, and is part of a larger senior living community called Fox Hill Village, so what you find here is a place that offers both nursing home care and assisted living along with memory care specifically designed for seniors with Alzheimer's and dementia, and they do have about 70 assisted living units, some of which are studio apartments, single bedrooms, and shared living quarters, so people can choose what fits best for them and know there are staff around all day and all night. There's help with everyday things like dressing, moving around, eating (even feeding by spoon if someone needs it), continence management, and personal laundry, plus vacuuming and dusting and general housekeeping to keep things as neat as possible, and they really look at each person's situation with personalized care plans or tailored service plans after individual service assessments, so health services are matched to each resident, whether that's help with memory, regular checkups, or weight management.
You'll find health care services such as skilled nursing, short-term rehabilitation after hospital stays, physical therapy, occupational therapy, wound care, heart care, and even psychiatric services, with long-term care for ongoing needs, and for memory care residents there are specific safety features and dementia-friendly menus at mealtimes with nutritious food made by chefs and meal planners, three meals a day included, a snack shop, and both a private dining area and larger dining hall for folks who want to eat together. There's a focus on activities, so you'll see education programs, arts and crafts, social gatherings, health and wellness classes, and chapel services, with support for different religious or spiritual preferences including a place of worship nearby.
Every room has cable television, an emergency call system, safety and disabled fixtures, and on-site maintenance in case something goes wrong, plus WiFi throughout the main areas for folks who use the internet, and there's a lounge, activity room, book collection, courtyard for getting outside, an on-site café, a beauty salon, and a snack shop, not to mention an on-site pharmacy for convenience.
Transportation is available for getting around, and the building is close to two hospitals for emergencies or special medical care, plus there are five cafes, five restaurants, and nine pharmacies nearby, as well as a park if anyone wants to enjoy the outdoors. The staff speak English and some know other languages, so communication is usually easy, and folks here mention that the staff are helpful and kind, contributing to a friendly and welcoming feeling that isn't found everywhere, with attention paid to high-quality care and personal dignity.
