Cherry Creek Village, Affordable Independent Living Community for Seniors, sits between Attalla and Gadsden in a historic district and gives seniors an all-inclusive, maintenance-free lifestyle with plenty of comforts rolled into one monthly fee that includes all utilities and services like electric, water, cable, WiFi, weekly housekeeping, personal cleaning, and transportation to local appointments and outings, so there's really not much to worry about except enjoying each day. Residents can pick from six spacious floor plans, including studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments with sizes ranging from 312 to 624 square feet, all wheelchair accessible and clean, with ground floor units and a choice that fits both individuals and couples, plus private and guest parking so those who drive keep their independence. Folks can bring their dogs or cats, as the pet-friendly policy lets seniors enjoy animal companionship.
The community offers independent living, assisted living, and respite care for those who need short-term support or relief for caregivers, with help on hand for daily activities, medication management, personal care, and emergency pendant monitoring for safety. The gated grounds, accessible parking, and safety features like medical pendants bring peace of mind, along with the always available, friendly staff trained to address residents' needs at any hour, so people feel comfortable and looked after.
With so many activities planned, from bingo, gardening, bridge, and arts and crafts, to water aerobics, exercise classes, and group games, plus movie nights, karaoke, shopping trips, restaurant outings, and even Wii video game tournaments and pool tournaments, boredom doesn't seem to stick around for long, and there's always a way to meet new friends and stay busy. A swimming pool and hot tub offer spots to relax during warm weather, while the fitness room, beautician and barber shop, chapel, computer center, and library provide everyday conveniences and a sense of community, not to mention restaurant-style dining in the main dining room where meals are served with attention to quality.
Some other things that make this place stand out are the devotionals for spiritual support, air-conditioning and cable or satellite TV for comfort, smoking policies that keep common areas clean, and homecare or doctor services on site, with nurses, house staff, a podiatrist, dentist, and therapists like physical, occupational, and speech if those needs come up. Residents keep their own cars if they like, use easy-access parking, and take advantage of transportation when needed, which helps keep routines easy and flexible. For those who like a bit more privacy or social time, indoor and outdoor spaces offer spots to relax alone or with others, and the grounds are secure with a gated entry. People can use their VA benefits, and for folks who need hospice or respite care, those services are there too. The environment feels relaxed and friendly, and the staff treats residents and each other like family, which makes settling in less of a worry than it might be elsewhere, and tours are available to help future residents see daily life up close before moving in.
