Our Family Home at Harlem Rd is an assisted-living residence designed for older adults who need help with daily routines such as bathing, dressing, and medication reminders. Licensed care staff are on hand around the clock, and residents have access to on-site physical therapy for strength, balance, and recovery needs. Short-term respite stays are accepted, giving families a temporary break while ensuring the same level of assistance provided to long-term residents.
The community maintains a secured setting, an important feature for individuals who may be prone to wandering. Regular physician visits help monitor ongoing health conditions, and nursing staff coordinate diabetes management, including blood-sugar checks and insulin administration. A speech therapist visits the property to address swallowing issues and communication difficulties that can arise from stroke or other conditions. These layered services allow most health needs to be handled within the residence, reducing the need for off-site appointments.
Private and companion suites are available, and select accommodations are pet friendly, have outdoor access, offer garden views, or include wheelchair-accessible showers; availability of these features varies by unit, so a tour is recommended to confirm specific options. Residents can step outside to enjoy landscaped walking paths and garden seating, with staff nearby to assist when needed.
Daily meals are prepared on site, and menus can be adjusted for vegetarian preferences or other physician-ordered diets. Between meals, healthy snacks are set out to help residents maintain stable energy levels and manage conditions such as diabetes. Staff can provide mealtime reminders and assistance for anyone who has difficulty with utensils or needs modified food textures.
For leisure and social engagement, the property includes an activity center that hosts arts and crafts projects, wellness classes, and TV or movie nights. A library and computer lounge is available for quiet reading, email, or video calls with family. Scheduled social outings allow residents to stay connected with the wider community, and supervised outdoor time is organized for those who benefit from fresh air but require staff accompaniment.
