Scotia Village Retirement Community sits in a quiet, green area and gives seniors several choices for where and how they want to live-there are cottages, villas, and one- or two-bedroom apartments with attached bathrooms, full kitchens, air conditioning, living and dining rooms, some with fireplaces, garages, and patios-which is good if someone likes their own space or wants extra comfort, and there are also ground-floor and wheelchair-accessible options. The community supports residents who need different levels of care, from independent living to assisted living, memory care for dementia and Alzheimer's, and skilled nursing care for more complex or long-term health needs, with certified beds for those needing high-quality medical support, so folks can stay in one place as their needs change over time. There's 24-hour supervision if needed, professionals help with medications, bathing, dressing, transfers, and general daily activities, and nurses are trained to handle high-acuity cases, diabetic or incontinence care, and people who aren't able to walk. The memory care has special, secure neighborhoods, which keeps folks safe and allows the staff that understands dementia to help.
Meals come from professional chefs, with options for special diets-like diabetic, low sodium, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or allergy-friendly, and everyone can eat in a restaurant-style dining room, a private area for family meals, a café, a pub, or even outside, and guest meals are available. Housekeeping and laundry services, furnished rooms, emergency alert systems, and move-in coordination staff help make the transition easier, and transportation's on hand if residents want to get to appointments, run errands, or visit town, with several complimentary options. There are activity rooms, common areas, a library, movie nights, scheduled group activities, wellness programs, social events, gardens, and walking paths so people don't get lonely and always have things to do. Each apartment or living space comes with a phone, and residents can log in to the website portal to check updates or connect with others.
The community belongs to the Presbyterian Association of Homes and Services for the Aging and is a non-profit operated by Presbyterian Homes, which means there's no recent owner switch and any money goes back into the facility, not to a private owner. Medicare and Medicaid are accepted for those who qualify. Medical care covers everything from general practice to surgery, and there are partnerships with specialists in anesthesiology, cardiology, gynecology, oncology, and more, so residents can get what they need right on campus or nearby. Scotia Village Retirement Community has ratings of 4.6 out of 70 reviews, which shows a steady level of satisfaction. There's a Life at Scotia Village program that shares helpful info and stories, and options for virtual tours if a family can't visit in person, plus ways to connect with resources about dementia care, aging, and health, a member directory, and events like fundraisers and conferences for the interested. Benefits include group buying programs and member perks, and the community takes part in larger events to stay connected and informed. Scotia Village Retirement Community puts a focus on giving seniors choices, safety, and a place to keep living well, and while there's no claim to be perfect, many people find it a steady, helpful place for aging with dignity.
