Southshore Retreat sits on 350 acres of hay fields, timber, and granite outcroppings, with room for horses and plenty of space to roam, where you'll see mountains in the distance and fences around the whole area, and the main house is a single-family home with four bedrooms and one bathroom-it doesn't have a basement but it's got a metal roof, wood-burning fireplace, and heating that works on electric and propane, though you won't find air conditioning. There's a big detached garage for four cars, a carport for another four, a grain silo right by the garage, and outbuildings with barn space, sheds, hay storage, a workshop, and several barns wired for electricity, plus an RV spot with water and power meters handy for visitors or family who drop by for a while. The outdoor spaces offer decks and patios, enclosed courtyards, gardens, and paths you can follow, with special places like the butterfly garden, hummingbird garden, and even raised garden beds, along with sitting spots you can use alone or share with others, and security gates at the entrances.
Inside and across the property, residents find choices in how they want to live, from 1-bedroom or 2-bedroom apartments, studios, companion suites, condos, and townhomes-some with in-room kitchens if you want to do your own cooking, private dining rooms for family meals, and meeting rooms for gatherings or parties. The community gives you a beauty salon, arts and crafts rooms, a woodworking shop, a TV or theater room, an indoor atrium, a fitness center, a billiards lounge, a computer/media center, and a library if you like to read or stay busy. People with memory loss have safe spaces designed for their needs, and memory care staff help with dementia and Alzheimer's care, plus there's diabetic and incontinence care, high acuity care, skilled nursing, and hospice with special diet options, and they'll do medication management, physical therapy, housekeeping, dry cleaning, grocery runs, and errands as needed. Folks can bring pets, you can have your dogs and cats, and there's even assigned, covered, and uncovered parking for cars or guests.
Transportation services include complimentary rides, paid options, and access to buses if you want to go further, and staff speak all sorts of languages including American Sign Language, Arabic, Mandarin, Farsi, French, German, Filipino, Romanian, Russian, Tagalog, Vietnamese, and more-which helps people from different backgrounds. The whole place offers several ways to pay, like rent plus care fees, activity payments, and all-inclusive options, and you can choose assisted living, residential care home services, memory care, respite care, outpatient therapy, or just independent living. People can see the place before deciding, with tours available to show the grounds and housing.
