Homestead Senior Living in Saint Albans offers a single level of care—Independent Living. Residents choose this setting when they want to retain control over their daily schedules while knowing that supportive services are close at hand. The community is designed for adults who do not require constant assistance with personal care but appreciate the availability of staff and resources to help them maintain an active, self-directed lifestyle.

Beyond the core Independent Living option, Homestead Senior Living provides specific medical support that can be adapted to a resident’s changing health profile. Speech therapy, physician services, and targeted diabetes care are available on site. The community also delivers in-house incontinence management, ambulatory assistance, memory care programming, hospice coordination, medication management, and skilled oversight from nurses, occupational therapists, and physical therapists. These services allow residents to remain in the community even if their medical needs grow over time.

Accommodations vary in size and layout, but many residences include kitchenettes, wheelchair-accessible showers, air conditioning, cable or satellite TV, and Wi-Fi. Some homes feature architectural touches such as a central fireplace or offer convenient parking and outdoor areas. Because not every unit contains every feature, prospective residents should confirm specific details—such as handicap accessibility or the presence of a piano—during a tour. Pets are welcome in designated areas, subject to community guidelines and availability of pet-friendly units, and all utilities are included in the monthly fee.

Dining focuses on balanced, flexible nutrition. Three daily meals are prepared on site, with options for kosher, vegetarian, gluten-free, low-sodium, or no-added-sugar diets. Guests may join residents for meals, and staff can accommodate special dietary requests with advance notice. The goal is to provide straightforward, nutritionally sound choices without limiting variety or personal preference.

Residents have access to a library and computer lounge, an activity center, outdoor gathering spaces, and a swimming pool. The team schedules social outings, live-music events, karaoke sessions, happy hours, birthday celebrations, and other group programs that encourage regular interaction.
