The Sherick | Independent Senior Living sits in the Coronado neighborhood of Lubbock, TX at 2502 Utica Ave, offering a safe and comfortable home for senior women looking for independence and community, and this one-story building has been around for over 60 years, which shows they know a thing or two about caring for people, and while the grounds are spacious and quiet with manicured lawns and shaded walkways, the inside feels like a home with private studio, single, and two-bedroom units that come with living areas, closets, kitchenettes, and private bathrooms, so everyone has their own space. Staff are there 24/7, ready to help with emergencies or daily needs, and the emergency call systems throughout the place offer some peace of mind, and you'll also find wheelchair-accessible spaces, sprinklers, and all the safety measures lined up with the basics.
Meals are family-style, balanced, and always prepared to be nutritious, so residents don't have to worry about cooking, and the on-site kitchen staff gets regular praise. Housekeeping, laundry, and linen services come every week, so chores are off the list, and basic utilities like Wi-Fi and cable are included in the rent, making life a little easier. There's a beauty salon inside for hair and grooming, a library with large print choices, and even a theater for movie nights or special gatherings, which keeps things interesting for everyone.
Recreational and social activities happen on a regular schedule, whether you prefer games, crafts, or walking outdoors, and the exercise pool and fitness equipment are popular for staying active, while the grounds are well-kept for walks or just sitting outside. Social rooms and a community dining room give everyone the chance to build friendships, and there's a tradition here of celebrating together and joining in on activities that suit all kinds of interests. Scheduled transportation helps residents get to appointments or shopping, making it easier to stay connected to the outside world.
The staff here are known for being helpful and kind, treating everyone with dignity, respect, and compassion, and they work closely with each resident to set up care plans that fit their needs, with personal care and assisted living services available if needed, which means support is always nearby but never forced. The Sherick only takes women, and this has created a friendly, supportive community where independence is respected, but no one feels alone, and with month-to-month rentals and a choice of rooms and layouts, residents find it easier to settle in and just enjoy the retirement years, without extra worry about what comes next.
