Whitney Place at Sharon provides both Assisted Living and Memory Care, ensuring residents can transition between levels of support without leaving the community. Residents who need help with daily tasks receive individualized assistance, while those living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia benefit from programming and spaces tailored to cognitive needs. Diabetes care is available, and short-term or respite stays allow family caregivers temporary relief while their loved ones receive professional oversight. Licensed nursing staff coordinate services such as physical therapy and speech therapy to maintain or improve functional abilities.
The community is secured, an important feature for residents who may wander. On-site medical resources include a dentist, optometrist, podiatrist, massage therapist, hospice services, and round-the-clock licensed practical nurses. Occupational and physical therapists, speech therapists, and memory-care specialists work on the premises, reducing the need for outside appointments. Medication management, incontinence care, and ambulatory support are provided, and accommodations are specifically designed to meet the needs of individuals experiencing memory loss.
Apartments vary in layout and features, but may include kitchenettes, Wi-Fi, cable TV connections, wheelchair-accessible showers, and air conditioning. Some units have balconies, patios, or decks that look onto outdoor areas, while indoor common spaces feature a central fireplace and a piano for resident use. Parking is available for those who still drive, and all areas are handicap accessible. Not every apartment contains every listed feature, so prospective residents should review specific floor plans.
Dining follows a restaurant-style approach with meals prepared by a professional chef. Menus accommodate vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, low-sodium, and no-added-sugar preferences, and all-day dining offers flexibility for varying schedules. Guest meals are available, and international dishes appear regularly to widen food choices.
Residents have access to an activity center, library and computer lounge, indoor and outdoor walking paths, raised garden beds, and a swimming pool. The events calendar includes fitness programs, yoga and chair yoga, live music, karaoke, birthday parties, dances, social outings, intergenerational programs, and a variety of clubs and educational sessions.
