Harmony at Independence sits in a quiet neighborhood in Virginia Beach, Virginia, where folks 55 and older can choose from independent living, assisted living, or memory care options, and you know everything there stays pretty flexible thanks to a "Rental Advantage" program that gives people the freedom to rent with no long-term leases or big buy-ins, which can help save on expenses and makes changing plans a whole lot easier whenever situations change. The campus feels peaceful and home-like, blooming with garden patios, wide walking paths, and big, bright apartments that let in plenty of natural light, with floor plans going from one to two bedrooms, some with cathedral ceilings, hardwood-style floors, walk-in closets, and even private patios or balconies, so there's room for different tastes and needs. Kitchens are full-sized and modern, with stainless-steel appliances, in-home washers and dryers, plus each apartment's got its own emergency call system and individually controlled heat and air conditioning for comfort and peace of mind.
Independent living is maintenance-free at Harmony at Independence, with weekly housekeeping, yard care, and all home repairs handled, which frees up time for folks to join in a full calendar of activities, cultural events, movie nights, and outings, or spend time in places like the library, bistro, pub, or movie theater; pets are welcome too, since the community likes to feel family-friendly. There's an on-site beauty salon, a 24-hour fitness center, and a garden with comfortable spaces to relax, so daily living gets a bit easier and brighter. The staff offers chef-prepared meals with flexible dining hours, served in several roomy dining spots, and the menu even includes farm-to-table choices, while hydration stations are set up for easy access, and each resident has support from a 24-hour concierge.
Harmony at Independence also offers assisted living for seniors who want an active community but may need help with daily tasks or medications, so the team can assist with things like getting dressed, managing medicine, scheduling appointments, or escorting folks on errands, plus there's transportation offered for shopping and doctor visits when needed.
