What this home is approved to do

Dementia care

Licensed by the state to care for residents with dementia or Alzheimer's.

Wheelchair — 6 approved

Approved for residents who cannot walk unaided. Many homes are not, and families only find out after the tour.

Bedridden — 1 approved

Rarer still, and what a family in late-stage care needs most.

Hospice waiver for 6

Your mother can stay here when she goes on hospice, instead of being moved somewhere unfamiliar at the very end. No other directory shows this.

This is a small residential board-and-care home — six residents or fewer, in a house, on an ordinary street. For many families it is calmer, cheaper, and far better staffed per resident than a large community.
