The Hearth on James offers both Assisted Living and Independent Living options, allowing residents to match their daily support level with their personal abilities. The community provides structured medical support for diabetes management, including blood-glucose monitoring and medication coordination. Short-term respite stays are available for individuals recovering from an illness or for family caregivers who need a break. A licensed speech therapist works with residents who require help maintaining or improving communication and swallowing functions, and care plans are adjusted as needs change.
Additional clinical services are delivered on site to reduce outside appointments and transfers. Registered nurses oversee medication management and coordinate with visiting physicians and podiatrists. Physical and occupational therapists provide rehabilitation and strength-maintenance programs, while a massage therapist is available for pain management and circulation support. Memory care programming is in place for residents coping with cognitive decline, and hospice services are coordinated when needed to allow individuals to remain in familiar surroundings. Incontinent and ambulatory care are also provided, ensuring residents receive prompt, dignified assistance.
Apartments and suites vary in size and layout, and not every unit includes every feature. Many living spaces are handicap accessible, air-conditioned, and equipped with Wi-Fi access. Select residences offer views of outdoor areas or quick access to a central fireplace lounge. On-site parking is available, and the property is pet-friendly for residents who meet community guidelines. Common areas include a piano, organ, and multiple seating spots that can be reserved for family gatherings.
Daily meals are prepared by a professional chef and served restaurant style, with an all-day dining option for residents who prefer flexible schedules. Menu choices accommodate international cuisine preferences as well as kosher, vegetarian, gluten-free, low-sodium, and no-sugar diets. Guest meals can be arranged with notice, and staff monitor nutritional intake when clinically required.
Residents have access to a library and computer lounge, an activity center, and scheduled fitness programs that range from chair yoga to water exercise in the on-site swimming pool. Social outings, happy hours, karaoke, live music, birthday celebrations, and themed dances fill the calendar.
