Emerald Cottages of Stonebridge sits at 2551 Alma Rd in McKinney, TX, inside the Stonebridge Ranch neighborhood, offering 44 single-story, 2-bedroom, 2-bath cottages, each with over 1,300 square feet of living space, oversized attached garages, and private front entries with covered porches so you can come and go as you please. Each home has luxury finishes like granite counters, wood floors, raised ceilings, walk-in closets, dual vanities, zero-threshold walk-in showers, large laundry rooms ready for full-size machines, and eat-in kitchens with stainless steel appliances and custom cabinets, along with plenty of storage, ceiling fans, and wide 36-inch doors for wheelchair access, making life a little easier for folks needing that kind of thing. The community welcomes pets and keeps yards and landscaping tidy, so residents don't have to bother with outdoor upkeep, and there's no need to worry about repairs either, since maintenance, repairs, and even dry cleaning services get managed for you, giving you more time to enjoy the little walking paths, the garden, fishing in the lakes and ponds, or taking a short walk to the nearby McKinney YMCA or the parks spread around the area.
The cottages are connected to Purple Door, LLC, and have a managed profile for regular oversight, so things run smoothly and residents stay informed, and the place stays organized with community support and plenty of informational materials around for anyone who needs them. Folks living here get independent living, but there's also assisted living, memory care, and even respite and hospice waivers available thanks to the connection with Stonefield Assisted Living next door, which makes it easier for residents to get more help if their needs change over time, and there's always trained staff on hand to help with medication, dressing, or therapies. Residents can get home care services for companionship and non-medical help, and there are emergency alert systems, so you can feel safer and more secure.
The cottages don't have a full cafeteria, but there's a weekly meal you can pay for, and once a month the community arranges a catered meal for everyone, so you have some choices if you don't feel like cooking, and in the dining room meals can be adjusted for special diets like diabetic or allergy-sensitive needs. Housekeeping, telephone service, laundry options, and high-speed internet with cable are all included too, so life isn't so complicated. The community offers regular social events like movie nights, group activities, and daily programs to help people stay busy and get to know neighbors, while scheduled move-in coordination makes transitioning here easier for new residents.
There's a big focus on keeping living easy and letting each resident hold on to their independence, even with the convenience of higher levels of support if and when they're needed, so people can downsize to a maintenance-free home without giving up privacy, comfort, or a sense of community. The cottages are designed by independent seniors, for independent seniors, and the community puts a lot of emphasis on compassion, respect, and keeping up an active and social lifestyle, all while staying close to shopping, medical offices, and dining, in the middle of a well-kept, friendly environment.
