Village Gibraltar Manor Senior Living Community sits in a quiet area built just for people 55 and older, and it was built in 2006 with 53 units, each with one or two bedrooms, one bathroom, and sizes between 595 and 700 square feet, so it feels like a real apartment and not too big or too small, and every unit includes things like central heat and air, a fully-equipped kitchen with a dishwasher, garbage disposal, deluxe cabinets, cable and internet readiness, private patio, vertical blinds, programmable thermostats, an intercom, extra storage, keyless entry, and even grab bars and barrier-free options to help folks move around safely. Residents can bring their cats or dogs if they're within the allowed weight, and walking trails make it easier to get outside, while the community also has a computer lab, fitness center, library, picnic area, gazebo, and nice landscaping, which gives everyone a chance to enjoy simple pleasures whether inside or outdoors, plus secured entry, surveillance cameras, sprinklers, lawn care, and snow removal make it feel safe and well cared for, and there's resident parking and bus transportation for those who need it.
Village of Gibraltar Manor doesn't do things alone; a Board of Directors and an Executive Director oversee everything, and affiliated sponsors and community partners help the place run, with connections to groups like Covenant Skilled Nursing & Rehab at Wellspring, and residents see the benefit of this through choices like independent living for healthy, active seniors, assisted living for those who need help showering, dressing, or with medication, memory care for folks with dementia, and even in-home care with trained aides for companionship and help around the house, while hospice and behavioral health services like grief support, counseling, and family services are options too, and short-term rehab and respite care are available. The community offers nourishment from meals cooked by chefs and meal planners who care about taste and nutrition, and the social calendar brings both on-site and off-site activities that help residents stay engaged physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially.
Unique touches include a group purchasing program, dementia-friendly resources, guidance from the POAMN Older Adult Ministry Guide, and involvement in community events like Fundraiser's Forum and the Ecumenical Conference, making it feel connected and purposeful for residents and their families. There's a community room for gatherings, spaces for events, after-hours and 24-hour emergency services, and a LifeLine system for extra peace of mind. The staff has a reputation for being friendly, helpful, and joyful, which many say makes the living environment welcoming and happy; this has earned Village Gibraltar Manor recognition like the "Best of Senior Living" and "Best of Senior Living All Star" distinctions for care and community engagement. Independent living units are worry-free, and residents who need more help can have care plans adjusted to fit their needs, whether they're living there full time or just staying short-term. Everyone, whether they're participating in activities or using the library, computer lab, or fitness center, seems to find a way to feel at home, and the calm surroundings and supportive environment help people stay comfortable as they age.
