Ecumen Seasons at Apple Valley provides different care options for older adults, including Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care services, and it sits in a cozy spot that looks over a pond and walking path, which makes it feel peaceful if you like to look outside or take a stroll. The community has 106 independent-living apartments in one-bedroom, one-bedroom plus den, and two-bedroom layouts, all with full kitchens, nine-foot ceilings, walk-in showers, private balconies or patios, and in-unit washers and dryers, and the apartments range from 587 to 1,205 square feet, so there's a lot of choice depending if someone likes a bigger place or something smaller. The Assisted Living and Memory Care area has 28 residences, with studio and one-bedroom apartments, all having private baths, and these areas offer extra help for people who need support with things like bathing, dressing, and medication management, and they're designed to be maintenance-free so you don't have to worry about repairs or upkeep. Residents get access to a full range of services like laundry, housekeeping, linen changes, meal preparation with attention to allergies and special diet needs, and a 24-hour call system, so if something unexpected happens someone's there to help at any time.
There's a secured courtyard and a special Memory Care garden which give people safe outdoor space even if they have memory issues, and staff are trained to help those with dementia, so people get supervision and activities that help keep them engaged, and doctors can visit on-site for specialized care for folks with Alzheimer's or dementia. Emergency alert systems run through the building, and there are extra safety features like emergency response pendants and HealthSense® technology for real-time assistance. Meal service includes at least one meal per day for most residents, and those in Memory Care get three meals and snacks, with options for room service or communal dining in several restaurant spaces, so people can choose what's comfortable. The facilities offer weekly housekeeping, laundry, and dry cleaning, so someone doesn't have to handle chores if they don't want to.
You'll find amenities like a fitness center with exercise classes run by certified instructors, a salon and spa, a chapel, a cafe, a small shop, creative arts studio, movie theater, guest suite, community lounges with fireside bars, a learning center, library, balconies or patios, and walking paths to spend time outside. There's also a grand community room for social gatherings and resident-run activities, which help people connect and stay busy, and the place tries to make sure routines include physical, social, emotional, and other wellness activities through the Ecumen Wellness Program. Transportation and parking are available, including underground heated garage parking for a monthly fee, so getting around or keeping a car is pretty simple, and it's also pet-friendly if you want to bring a dog or cat, though there's a fee.

Ecumen Seasons at Apple Valley welcomes adults aged 62 and up and provides care as needs change-people can move from Independent Living to Assisted or Memory Care without leaving the community. Nursing and home care exist for people who want to stay in their apartment but need more help, and respite care can help if someone needs a short stay. The staff speaks English and many help coordinate dementia, hospice care, and home care, focusing on being helpful and kind, and the facility is well known for community engagement and for supporting residents' well-being. Payments are possible at market rates or through the Elderly Waiver, and fees or deposits vary depending on the living arrangement. The whole community is designed for an active independent lifestyle but with the convenience of personal care, safety, and social support when they're needed, and people often say you can make friends with your neighbors and even the staff feel like a big family.
