Saint Therese of New Hope is an assisted-living community designed for older adults who need daily support without giving up their independence. The community’s core offering is traditional assisted living, and residents can also arrange respite or short-term stays when recovering from illness or while a primary caregiver is away. Ongoing diabetes care helps residents manage blood glucose levels through monitoring and medication coordination, and an on-site speech therapist is available to address swallowing issues or communication challenges.
Health oversight is reinforced by a secured environment that limits unauthorized entry and exit, supporting residents who might be prone to wandering. Staff are on hand around the clock to respond to emergencies, coordinate medications, and schedule outside appointments when needed. This combination of a secured setting and continuous staffing is intended to streamline care delivery and reduce risks related to delayed assistance.
Apartment layouts vary, and not all residences include every feature, but options may include wheelchair-accessible showers, grab bars, and other handicap-friendly elements. Some units have individual climate controls, and all are air conditioned during warmer months. Select floor plans may open directly to outdoor areas, and a community piano or organ is available for resident use. Parking is provided for those who still drive or who have frequent visitors.
Meals are prepared on site and served restaurant-style in a communal dining room, with table service that removes the need to stand in buffet lines. The kitchen accommodates therapeutic diets, and guests can purchase meals so families may dine together. Snacks and beverages are accessible between meals, and residents who prefer to eat privately may request tray service.
Daily life is rounded out by an activity center that hosts clubs and interest groups, a library and computer lounge for quiet study or internet access, raised garden beds for seasonal planting, and scheduled social outings to local destinations. Residents can attend happy hour, birthday parties, and live music performances, or swim laps in the community pool when weather permits.
