Hampshire House is an assisted-living community that centers its medical support on two primary offerings: diabetes care and respite or short-term stays. Residents managing diabetes receive assistance with glucose monitoring, medication administration, and meal planning that aligns with physician-ordered nutritional guidelines. For families in need of temporary care solutions, the community can accept individuals for short stays, covering recovery periods or caregiver vacations while maintaining the same clinical oversight given to long-term residents.
Beyond these specific medical services, Hampshire House delivers around-the-clock assistance with activities of daily living, medication reminders, and routine health assessments. Care staff are on site at all times, and coordination with outside physicians, pharmacies, and rehabilitation providers can be arranged when required. The goal is to keep residents as independent as possible while ensuring any emerging health concerns are addressed promptly.
Accommodation options range from ground-floor units with garden views to apartments equipped with private baths, wheelchair-accessible showers, and air conditioning. Some units offer cable or satellite television, Wi-Fi, or direct patio access, and residents may bring cats if they meet the community’s weight guidelines. Features such as outdoor areas, a billiards lounge, library, piano lounge, and resident parking are available in shared spaces, but not every apartment contains every amenity.
Dining follows a restaurant-style format with three daily meals prepared on site. Menus can be adapted for low- or no-sodium requirements and other physician-ordered diets. Residents may invite guests for meals, reserve the private dining room for family gatherings, or join seasonal barbecues and picnic events scheduled on the patio. Table service is standard, and snacks are available between meals.
Residents have access to an activity center, arts and crafts studio, game and movie rooms, and raised garden beds for hands-on gardening. Regularly scheduled programs include on-site classes such as yoga or chair yoga, stretching, cooking demonstrations, trivia games, book club, bridge, and men’s club meetings. Off-site outings, day trips, intergenerational projects, community service programs, and walking club excursions keep residents connected to the broader community. Entertainment ranges from live music and theater performances to happy hours, dances, holiday parties, karaoke, and wine tastings, while educational speakers and current events discussions offer lifelong learning opportunities.
