Hale House offers an alternative to institutional care – a homelike place when “home” is no longer possible. The goal of Hale House is to enhance all aspects of living in the later years by offering meaningful choices, social, intellectual and spiritual stimulation and by honoring individual worth in the collective environment for 56 elderly residents at a time. Hale House offers private bedrooms, three healthy daily meals, housekeeping, laundry, engagement activities and on-site nursing—24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Hale House’s licensed on-site medical care also serves people with serious and chronic illnesses and makes it different from most other residential programs.
