The Sparrow House is a family-owned and operated board and care community designed for older adults who need additional support to remain safe and comfortable when living independently at home is no longer practical. Located in a residential, home-like setting, The Sparrow House offers a more intimate approach to senior living with just six private bedrooms and a low resident-to-staff ratio. The community is centered on helping residents maintain dignity, independence, and a sense of belonging while receiving personalized assistance with their daily needs.
Personalized Care Philosophy
At The Sparrow House, care is built around the individual rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Each resident receives an individualized care plan based on their needs, preferences, and level of independence. Experienced caregivers are available around the clock to provide assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs), including bathing and showering, dressing, and medication management.
The small size of the community allows the care team to become familiar with each resident and provide attentive, personalized support. The direct-care staff brings experience in elder care, while the owner and operator has more than 15 years of medical experience as a Physician Assistant, including a background in geriatric care, postoperative recovery, wound care, and podiatry.
Care at The Sparrow House can accommodate a range of needs, from independent and assisted living support to end-of-life and hospice care. Respite services and short-term rehabilitation are also available, providing flexibility for families who need temporary senior care or additional support during a recovery period.
Amenities & Comfortable Living
The Sparrow House has been newly renovated with an emphasis on comfort, accessibility, safety, and functionality. Each of the six private bedrooms is fully furnished and features a high-quality mattress, comfortable bedding, dresser, nightstand, spacious closet, ceiling fan, dimmable lighting, large sliding window, comfortable seating, and a wall-mounted television.
Shared spaces are designed to encourage both relaxation and connection. The great room features large windows that bring in natural light and provide views of the surrounding property. Residents can relax in reclining seating, enjoy the community television, or gather around the family-style dining table for meals and conversation.
Accessibility and safety are also incorporated throughout the home. Two community bathrooms are barrier-free and include wheelchair-accessible sinks, showers, and a walk-in bathtub. Multiple handrails and nonslip surfaces provide additional support for residents with mobility challenges.
Outside, two community spaces offer comfortable seating where residents can enjoy fresh air, peaceful surroundings, and time with visitors or fellow residents.
Activities, Dining & Social Engagement
Daily life at The Sparrow House is designed to feel like home rather than an institution. Residents have opportunities for social and emotional enrichment within the community's comfortable shared spaces and outdoor areas. Family-style dining provides a natural opportunity for conversation and connection, while homemade meals are prepared for residents as part of their daily services.
Laundry services are also provided, helping simplify everyday routines for residents and their families. The intimate environment allows residents to participate in daily life at their own pace while receiving the level of assistance they need.
Support for Changing Care Needs
The Sparrow House offers care options that can adapt as a resident's needs change. Personalized assistance with daily activities, medication management, and 24-hour staffing can provide additional peace of mind for older adults who are no longer able to safely manage all aspects of life at home. The community also offers respite care and short-term rehabilitation for temporary needs, as well as end-of-life and hospice support.
A Small, Home-Like Senior Living Community
For families seeking a smaller senior living environment with personalized care, The Sparrow House provides an intimate alternative to larger communities. With six private bedrooms, attentive 24-hour staff, accessible amenities, homemade meals, and individualized care plans, the community focuses on helping older adults live with comfort, dignity, and independence. Its family-operated approach and experienced care team create a supportive setting where residents can feel known, valued, and at home.
