There's a big emphasis on social opportunities with a full calendar of activities, group fitness classes, movie nights, teatime, reading, happy hours, arts and crafts, offsite trips, devotional services, and devoted spaces like a large 150-seat theater, a billiards room, an arcade, a library, a salon and barbershop, a fitness center, and even a lounge with a bar, plus lots of room inside and out to just sit, visit, and spend time, and they've got a Lifestyle Director who plans monthly events, and the residents themselves often run activities or clubs, so there always seems to be something going on. Meals come through the Signature Freedom Dining program, which means three chef-prepared, diet-friendly meals every day, with changing menus and fresh ingredients, and if folks don't feel like eating in the dining room, there's door-to-door meal delivery, plus snacks and drinks around the clock. Housekeeping and laundry get handled every week, and maintenance is included as well, so the living is as low-stress as possible, letting people focus on what they want to do with their time, and utilities like internet, cable, and phone are included in the monthly rent, with prices starting at $3,544.00, so there aren't surprise bills each month. Pets are welcome, big or small, with no extra charges, and there's guest parking right on property, so your friends and family can come by, and there's even a caregiver support network attached to help folks and their loved ones work through any challenges that might come up. The resort's set up to handle different care needs, but it's definitely geared toward people who still want to live life on their own terms, in a maintenance-free home that feels like a small, friendly neighborhood, with services and support on hand only when you need them, in a bright and cheerful space that tries to feel like home, not an institution.
