Geneva Village Retirement Community

Geneva Village Retirement Community sits in a spot with beds for 80 people and usually has about 69 residents, so you're not dealing with a big, crowded place, and folks get a bit more attention; you'll find both independent living and assisted care here, and there's also skilled nursing for those who need more help, plus respite and short-term rehabilitation for those recovering from hospital stays, and all private rooms in the nursing section make it feel a bit more comfortable and private. People get move-in help if they need it, and the rooms come fully furnished with cable TV, Wi-Fi, and even air conditioning, plus private bathrooms-which is a nice touch, especially since not every place offers that. There's a restaurant-style dining room, and meals are prepared by a chef with options for diabetes or allergies, so you don't have to worry if you've got food restrictions, and you get all-day dining. Whenever you want to stretch your legs or just sit quietly, you've got gardens and parks nearby with walking paths, and inside there's a game room, a library, a movie room, computer room, fitness and spa, and a beauty salon, so there's always something to do-whether it's planned activities, resident-led events, movie nights, music programs, or even an ice cream social. Nurses are on for 12-16 hours daily, with support staff around the clock, and there's a 24-hour call system in case someone needs help in the night; care includes bathing, dressing, medicine help, transfers, and even special diets, which can be a big comfort if you're not as steady on your feet as you once were. Geneva Village covers transportation for outings and doctor visits, and they'll coordinate non-medical rides too, plus housekeeping and laundry, so you don't need to fuss with chores. Safety's always a concern with sprinklers everywhere, and the staff looks out for mistreatment or theft, holding council meetings for residents and families to address concerns. They run mental wellness and fitness programs and have a wellness center on site to help folks stay active and as independent as possible for as long as they can. The place accepts Medicare and Medicaid, isn't a special focus facility, and is run by a for-profit partnership, so there's a business feel, but there's also clear attention to keeping folks comfortable and sticking to safety rules, like making sure nearly all long-stay residents get their flu and pneumonia shots. You'll hear staff speaking English and see them helping folks with activities of daily living, and the medical team handles skilled nursing with regular input from doctors and nutritionists. Geneva Village doesn't claim to be fancy or perfect, but it's steady, offers a home-like setting, and keeps people connected with plenty of activities, help, and a bit of privacy.
