Mathison Retirement Community

Mathison Retirement Community sits in a friendly neighborhood with well-kept grounds and plenty of places to walk or relax outside, and when you go inside it feels lively, with friendly staff who seem to know everybody's name and residents who gather for things like arts and crafts, game nights, fitness classes, and movie nights, and when holidays come around they hold special events and community picnics that bring folks together in a cheerful way. The apartments are spacious, with choices ranging from large studios with kitchenettes to one and two-bedroom units with full kitchens, each one having modern safety features like smoke detectors and sprinkler systems, while communal dining offers a pleasant place to share good meals, which are made fresh every day and provide a variety of choices for different diets. For those who want independent living, the support is there when needed and includes things like transportation to doctor appointments, regular housekeeping, maintenance, and help with laundry, while others can access assisted living services if things get a little more difficult, which includes help with daily activities, medication, and regular nurse support-folks always say that the staff is patient and never makes anyone feel rushed. There's also a dedicated Memory Lane area for those with memory loss, with staff who really know how to offer gentle support and activities to keep the mind active in a safe, secure part of the community, and you see that the place aims to treat everyone with kindness and respect, whether it's helping with meals, exercise, or simply having someone to talk to. The grounds feature things you don't always find elsewhere, like a swimming pool, tennis courts, tranquil gardens, and a big courtyard where people gather to chat, plus a library, beauty salon, chapel, and even a barber shop, so you can take care of yourself without ever leaving home. Religious services are offered on-site for those who want them, and there's a strong focus on meeting social, spiritual, and physical needs. State licensing and a full 24-hour call system mean safety comes first, while personal care plans and regular health screenings, vision and hearing tests, and services for diabetic and incontinence care add reassurance for residents and their families. With a capacity for 100 residents, Mathison provides a range of choices from independent to assisted living and memory care, as well as home care, so people can pick what suits them as needs change over the years, and the atmosphere is always kind, comfortable, and meant to help people feel at home in their "Golden Years." The facility opened in 2000 and has kept up with changes to stay comfortable and safe, and overall, Mathison offers a straightforward, caring place for seniors who want both independence and a little help when they need it.
