Estelle Peabody Memorial Home Inc

Programs: The peabody retirement community (peabody) understands that each individual has unique needs, an exciting history, and holds beliefs about how their care should be delivered. To meet this end, peabody provides five very different levels of residence -- from independent living 'cottage homes' to a specially-equipped memory enhanced neighborhood. Peabody is dedicated to the goal of creating a model campus providing cost-effective individualized care that reaches far beyond the minimal standards. Additional services provided to residents include onsite therapies, nutritional services, pastoral services, social services, and recreational services. Residential services:cottage homes - the 57 independent living cottages offer the freedom of maintenance-free living along with the company of interesting neighbors who cherish their independence and are always ready to lend a hand. Residential apartments and assisted living center - peabody offers 118 residential and assisted living units. The south house residential apartments offer the convenience of various campus services, along with the independence of your own residence. Memory enhancement center - frank and laura smock memory enhancement center, which has 48 licensed memory care beds, is designed around a simple premise: surround residents with familiar settings and activities that will help them maintain and even enhance their memories to enjoy life. The homeline neighborhood designs include life stations where residents can garden, play music, and enjoy sports and sporting memorabilia -- all to energize each individual through the environment. For those in the early to middle stages of memory loss, there is no more complete and appropriate care available in the area. Skilled health center - peabody's health center has 192 licensed health care beds designed to help individuals enjoy better quality of living through late life. Additional services provided:nutritional services - our dining staff works closely with the nursing services and medical staff to ensure special dietary goals are accomplished. Through careful medication management and monitoring by our nutritional and nursing staff, our residents can often enjoy foods they were not able to enjoy before joining the peabody family. Therapy services - our therapies include speech, physical, and occupational therapy, and are available to both inpatient and outpatient residents. This allows residents to forego the often difficult task of arranging transportation to and from therapy appointments. Social services - staff social workers provide peabody residents and families with a variety of services to ensure their needs and desires are being met on a daily basis. Social services coordinators play an active role in the admissions processes, helping to determine the best level of care for residents, and provide emotional support to both residents and their families during times of transition. Social service coordinators also assist with supportive counseling to increase coping with transitions and advocacy to ensure that residents' rights are respected. Pastoral services - the peabody memorial chapel holds services on a regular schedule and is conducted in the tradition of various denominations. Because our primary in-house worship service is conducted on sunday afternoon, many residents are able to enjoy returning to their home congregation for morning worship. Recreational services - residents are able to participate in many groups and "clubs" ranging from bible study to quilting to contemporary fiction to veteran. In addition, peabody also provides residents with many off-campus excursions.
