Stone River Retirement Community sits in Bradenton as a quiet and comfortable place for people age 55 and older, offering all-inclusive independent living and a welcoming feeling that fits all kinds of interests and needs without extra fuss, and the apartments here come in many sizes-including studios, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and even three-bedroom options-with things like full-sized appliances, custom cabinets, designer countertops, window coverings, large closets, private patios or balconies, and individual climate controls, so folks can feel right at home and keep things just the way they like. Pets are welcome, with dogs needing to be in first-floor apartments, and there aren't any pet fees.
Residents get three hot chef-prepared meals every day through the Signature Freedom Dining program, a full salad bar, snacks in a 24-hour grab-and-go area, and even treats like a soft-serve ice cream machine, while those who can't come down for meals can get delivery to their door. The place has a main street area with a little store, a beauty salon and barber, pharmacy, gift shop, and bank, and the shared spaces include a big 150-seat movie theater with stadium seating, a library, billiards room, arcade, lounges, spa, business center, conversation nooks, a swimming pool, fitness and exercise rooms, and a patio, all cleaned and kept up by weekly housekeeping, with deep cleans and new flooring after every move-out.
There's a Lifestyle Director planning monthly events and a busy calendar with social outings, arts and crafts, cultural events, music shows, and regular movie nights, plus devotional services, both onsite and off, for those that want them. A 24/7 Emergency Alert System, plus live-in managers and concierges on duty round-the-clock, keep things running smooth and safe, and the building's handicap accessible for folks with mobility needs. Residents get scheduled transportation for shopping and trips out, high-speed Wi-Fi and cable, and parking.
Healthcare is available on-site, too, including home health care, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy that insurance can cover, as well as access to memory care, assisted living, nursing and rehab, and services for activities of daily living like bathing, dressing, and managing medicine. There's a wellness program that offers health screenings, yoga, water aerobics, and classes on staying healthy and independent. Those who like to travel can join the community's travel program, letting them visit other Resort Lifestyle Communities across the country at no extra cost.
Stone River Retirement Community is known for friendly, helpful staff and has been recognized with awards such as Best of Senior Living, and it's built for comfort, independence, and a vibrant life, so people enjoy everyday moments, whether they're relaxing in a quiet apartment, sitting with friends in the lounge, or heading out to enjoy nearby places like Tampa Bay or the Florida Keys.
