Starting to Feel Like a Home...

Here is Heart to Home's new lower level office! It provides ample space for meetings, document storage and an egress window in case of emergencies.


Here you can see the Wirsbo in-floor heating system. There will be seven zones throughout the home that can be adjusted to meet our resident needs.


Here are the two large water heaters... There will never be a shortage of warm baths and showers!


This is a view of the large lower level activities area. Notice the egress window for safety.


Here is another view of the large lower level activity area.


This is a view of one of the suites complete with great views, large spaces for resident enjoyment and private bathrooms.


This is a view from the kitchen toward the front entryway. We placed a wall directly in front of the front entry way to help discourage resident elopement and have made all bedroom entrances visible from the kitchen which allows Heart to Home staff to safely and effectively monitor residents. These are just some of the many examples of our commitment to safety and design for those with memory care needs.


This is a view of the "north woods" four season porch. Notice the knotty pine woodwork, large windows with views of the backyard gardens / trees and the high vaulted ceilings. This will be a wonderful gathering space for residents and their friends and families.


This is a view of the library sitting area. It features a gas fireplace and ample space to relax and enjoy afternoon tea / coffee and snacks.


Here is a good view of the four season "north woods" porch, the future kitchen and one of the entry ways to the bedroom / suite. Each suite has a location for a memory board where residents and their families will be able to post all of their wonderful life memories, pictures of friends and family, life accomplishments etc... Memory boards play an integral role at Heart to Home as they help our staff to get to know the residents better and allow us to develop a deep meaningful relationship with our residents.


Here is a view of one of the suites at Mendota Manor.


Here you can see Mendota Manor at her finest. It won't be long before we're open!


Here is a view of the large backyard. This will be a wonderful space for summer picnics, barbecues and gatherings.
