Give Each Day Some Purpose
Everybody needs something to do that matters to them. That might be folding towels, feeding the birds, choosing the music, sorting the mail, or simply sharing a conversation.
Care in a house where everyone knows each other. We keep our home small on purpose so residents can build familiar relationships and families can stay closely involved.
Bloom’s Open Hand looks after a small number of residents at any one time. A caregiver who is responsible for a few people can notice when someone is quieter than usual, has left half a sandwich, or is walking differently than last week. Those small changes can be the first sign that something needs attention.
We are a family home in Marysville. There is no wing or unit, and nobody lives in a numbered room. Residents have their own bedrooms and furniture and share the kitchen, living room, and yard with the people who look after them.
We do not have a long mission statement. We have a short list of things we try to do every day—and we are happy to be held to them.
Schedule a Visit →A routine is useful only until it gets in the way of the person it was meant to help.
Residents should see familiar faces week after week. A steady team makes care more consistent, especially for people with memory loss.
Personal care is private. Choices are offered. Nobody should be rushed through a bath because the schedule says so.
Family are not visitors here. Come for lunch, stay for the ball game, or turn up when you can.
Our approach is built around a small number of practical promises: people before procedures, a small and steady team, purpose in each day, an open door for family, and dignity in the small moments.
Everybody needs something to do that matters to them. That might be folding towels, feeding the birds, choosing the music, sorting the mail, or simply sharing a conversation.
We keep the door open to family. Visits, meals, activities, phone calls, and ordinary time together all have a place here.
Needs rarely stay the same. We review each resident’s plan with the family before move-in, after the first month, and whenever something changes.
You know your parent better than we do. You know their temper, jokes, fears, routines, and favorite foods. We ask you to tell us, and we keep asking, because care is better when we can draw on that knowledge.
Before move-in, we ask about routines, health, the things that upset your loved one, and the things that comfort them. After move-in, we stay in touch by phone, text, or email and review the care plan as needs change.
Visiting is part of family life here. Some families come every day and some once a week. Bring the grandchildren, join a meal, or sit in on an activity.
