Hillandale Communities | Chesterwood Village sits as part of the Hillandale Communities group, bringing generations of experience since 1962 and offering people a place where care is the main focus, and sometimes you find a place like Chesterwood Village that's actually got nearly every type of support you'd expect and some little extras thrown in, too. The community serves folks with independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and even short-term rehabilitation, so you can get everything from light housekeeping and social activities all the way to medical care and help with bathing or diabetes management. Residents can choose from apartments or the larger two-bedroom cottages with garages and sun porches, which makes things a little more homey, and when you need more help as your needs change, you can stay right within the community.
Life at Chesterwood Village tends to keep people busy if they want it, offering schedules packed with educational activities, group events, movie nights, church services, and day trips, and there's both community-sponsored and resident-run events for those wishing to be social. The community is set up with nice, useful features like the interior Main Street, which actually has a post office, a couple of restaurants, a pub, Maddy's on Main for salon needs, and a cinema and theater, so you don't always have to leave the grounds. You'll also find a chapel, gym, the Charter Club gym and clubhouse, walking paths, courtyards, and landscaped areas for those who want to be outdoors. There's a greenhouse and arts room for hobbies, and the staff keeps transportation running for errands or medical appointments, whether you use the scheduled bus or need a special ride.
