Aster Place sits in a well-kept, nicely decorated setting where seniors find different ways to live as needs change, and you'll notice things like garden homes and apartments for those who want independence, plus options for assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and hospice care for those who need more support. They've got a big focus on care, with staff who know senior needs well and treat folks like family, and there's always help close by since licensed nursing staff stay on-site around the clock for assisted living and memory care, and a 24-hour emergency system helps everyone feel safe. The apartments and garden homes come with things like full kitchens, washer and dryer hookups, patios or balconies, and while you get all appliances except the microwave, most units cover utilities except the phone, which makes life a bit easier for folks not wanting to worry about bills, and the community welcomes pets too. There are activities planned to keep the mind and body active, including the New Energy Wellness programs, social and entertainment events, and special structured events for residents with memory issues that try to give each person chances to stay independent and engaged.
Respite care is available for caregivers who need a break, with short-term stays for seniors, and there's also therapy-both outpatient and short-term rehab-plus advanced help like pulmonary and ventilator care. Those interested in being out and about can use the shuttle service to go to places like the Pavilion Shopping Centre or nearby hospitals, and for exercise, residents can use a professionally staffed fitness center, indoor or outdoor walking paths, enclosed courtyard, and a media room or sunroom to relax. When it comes time to eat, restaurant-style dining is available all day in assisted living, along with daily life-enhancing events through the THRIVE Wellness Program. The facility's main comforts, such as laundry, dry-cleaning, housekeeping, and visits from a chaplain, help keep things running smoothly, and there's a focus on spiritual needs with offsite devotional services for those interested.
For those in need of memory care, there are protected living spaces, customized care plans, daily cognitive activities, and specialized caregiver training to help manage Alzheimer's and dementia, with options for memory care set in both apartments and the skilled nursing area. Those living in independent options can expect full kitchens, private washers and dryers, and balconies, while assisted living apartments come private as well. Features in some rentals include gated entries, doormen, air conditioning, waterfront views, barbeque areas, pools, hot tubs or spas, fitness centers, and patios, but it's worth knowing that some step-showers might be tough for those with mobility problems, though wheel-chair accessible showers and other accessibility features are there too. The facility offers many options but parking, details on utilities or internet service, and some other building features aren't clearly listed, which is something folks might want to ask about before making decisions. Overall, Aster Place works to provide seniors with different ways to live as independently as possible, while offering support and comforts for changing needs.
