Overview of Staff and Care

Beehive Homes prides itself on having a hands-on ownership approach, with the owners living just minutes away and keeping a close eye on the staff and residents. The staff-to-resident ratio is almost triple the state-required number, with typically three caregivers for every 15 residents. Staff undergoes training with a physician and participates in 12 ongoing trainings throughout the year, with additional training as needed.

Resident Safety and Facility Maintenance

The community meets and exceeds all state regulations regarding building codes and safety requirements. The facility is continually updated and maintained to ensure the safety and comfort of all residents.

Moving Resources

While moving resources are primarily the responsibility of the resident and their family, Beehive Homes can provide recommendations for medical transport or moving services if needed.

Transportation Services

Transportation depends on the resident's needs. The senior center provides a vehicle for trips, and arrangements can be made with the owners for other necessary travel. The community also has a "Beehive bus" for parades and special events. Additionally, a local bus service with a minimal fee is available with 24-hour notice.

Dining Experience

Beehive Homes offers a small, intimate dining experience with an on-staff chef cook for each house. Meals are dietician-approved, made from scratch, and periodically changed. Residents have the option to request alternative meals if they do not prefer the scheduled dish.

Handling Resident Complaints

Residents can submit complaints through the line of authority, starting with the manager and escalating to the owners if necessary. The community follows the legal process for handling complaints and strives to resolve issues promptly.

Levels of Medical Care

As an assisted living community, Beehive Homes allows residents to age in place with the assistance of home health or hospice services covered by insurance. The facility helps with all activities of daily living and accommodates a range of resident abilities, from those who drive to those who are bedridden.

Communication with Residents' Families

Communication with families is tailored to their preferences, with options ranging from frequent updates to less regular check-ins. The community has a Facebook presence and encourages communication with the management team. The owners, Kathy and Henry Holmes, are also readily available and involved in daily operations.

All-Inclusive Services

Beehive Homes offers all-inclusive services, providing necessities such as sheets, towels, soaps, shampoos, and incontinent supplies. All meals, snacks, activities, and 24-7 care are included, and residents enjoy private rooms with private baths.
