At Home Senior Living of Cochran

Cochran is a small town, and At Home Senior Living of Cochran fits that scale, with assisted living and memory care in a single building at 147 6th Street Southeast. Thrive Senior Living operates the community. The operator notes that the local hospital, a home health office, a skilled nursing facility and several doctors' offices are close by, which makes follow-up visits and outside care simpler to arrange.

Assisted living focuses on individual care that keeps a resident as independent and healthy as possible, with trained staff available around the clock. Laundry and housekeeping are handled for residents in both assisted living and memory care suites. Every bathroom has an emergency response system, and each resident can also wear a personal pendant. Suites come in private or semi-private arrangements, and the building is wheelchair accessible.

Utilities are included in the rent, with telephone and cable TV as options. Meals are served restaurant style, and a diner-themed ice cream parlor is the usual place for gatherings. The events calendar includes wine tastings, family brunches, exercise classes and live music, and there is a salon and barber shop plus high-speed internet.

Memory care shares the building, so a resident can move from assisted living without a change of address. Ask how the memory care suites are secured, how staff structure the day, and how often care plans are reviewed with families, then compare other senior living in Cochran.
