Dwelling Place At St Clares is a senior living community designed for adults usually aged 55 or 62 and older, and it's part of the Affinity Health System, which puts a strong focus on compassion and care within the community. The facility sits in a serene spot and has a detailed map to help residents and visitors find their way easily, and when you get there you'll find a welcoming atmosphere, with furnished rooms and plenty of community spaces for people to socialize or relax. Seniors can choose from a variety of studio room layouts, and all patient rooms in the ventilator unit are spacious and private. The facility isn't a Continuing Care Retirement Community but does offer a range of options including independent living, assisted living, memory care, and a highly rated nursing facility with a 5-star rating from CMS.
Many healthcare services are on-site, so residents get help right where they live. The care team offers support with dressing, bathing, and daily activities, and there's medication management, laundry, and housekeeping services, along with help for those at an intermediate level of care who are not safe on their own but don't need constant skilled nursing. For people living with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia, the memory care program aims to support both safety and independence. The skilled nursing part of the community features 28 certified beds (as of June 2025) and focuses on quality medical and nursing care, using advanced charting and offering services like hospice, adult day care, and home care. Residents who need ventilator support can stay in the special unit, which has 24-hour monitoring and care from a full team including board-certified pulmonary doctors, respiratory therapists, and other specialists, making sure everyone gets daily therapy and medical rounds plus support from dieticians and case managers.
The property has recently been renovated to improve comfort, and there are outdoor walking paths, a garden, an arts room, and a barber/salon for daily life and activities, and both staff and residents organize regular community activities to keep people engaged and moving. The community also provides an on-site meal program with one to two prepared meals per day, and special dietary needs are accommodated. For added peace of mind, there's always someone on-site as supervision runs 24 hours a day, with a call system to make sure residents get help whenever needed. Medical services also include women's health, cardiology, orthopedics, diagnostic imaging, and some specialty areas such as flight nursing and psychiatry. Emergency care, intensive care, rehab, and medical-surgical services come from the nearby Saint Clare's Hospital, so there's strong support if a higher level of care is needed.
Families will find support navigating admissions, transitions, and discharges, and there's easy access to experts like oncologists, dentists, wound care specialists, and more. Dwelling Place At St Clares accepts Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance, and self-pay. Average resident ratings run about 8 out of 10, and the community keeps comfort and care as the highest priorities, providing a safe and structured home environment for seniors who want services, community, and independence all in one place.
