Beehive Homes of Salem provides both Assisted Living and Memory Care, with programming and medical oversight designed for residents who need daily support as well as those living with moderate dementia. The community can accommodate residents who wander, are under 60, require oxygen therapy, wound treatment, or must follow physician-ordered special diets. Diabetic management options cover oral medications, insulin injections, and sliding-scale protocols, allowing flexibility as needs change.
A licensed nurse is on site, with an RN or LPN available around the clock by phone, and an awake night staff maintains continuous monitoring. Safety features include fenced front and rear grounds, door alarms, and WanderGuard systems. On-site podiatry services and acceptance of psychiatric conditions reduce the need for outside appointments. Team members can give some physical help with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and they are trained to assist with walkers, wheelchairs, standby supervision, and one-person transfers. An activity director coordinates structured and leisure programs each day.
Private and semi-private rooms are available; some offer a private bathroom, furnishings, independent temperature controls, and cable service, but not every unit includes every feature. Independent Living residents may take advantage of medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, and laundry service so they can focus on daily routines without managing chores.
Meals follow a set menu prepared in-house, with snacks offered between meals. The kitchen staff adjusts textures, portion sizes, and ingredients to honor special diet orders, including diabetic and low-salt plans recommended by physicians.
Residents have on-site parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, a dedicated movie room, reliable internet access, and communal gardens for fresh air. Smoking is allowed only in designated outdoor spaces. Regular religious services are held within the building, and scheduled transportation helps residents reach local appointments and events.
