Glencroft Center for Modern Aging sits on 40 acres full of grass and citrus trees over in Arizona and folks say it's not only the biggest senior community in the state but also one of the largest in the country, and the place has both semi-private and single-room apartments, plus 2-bedroom apartments, condo and townhouse-style units, and even studios to pick from, and they let adults aged 55 and older live there, while also offering some HUD low-income housing you don't see everywhere. They let people bring some pets, have guests at mealtimes, and even allow overnight guests, which is comforting for some, and rooms come with full-size kitchens or kitchenettes, and those extra touches can make it feel more like home, plus laundry and dry-cleaning services mean you don't have to worry about chores piling up. Folks can swim in the indoor pool, relax in the jacuzzi, or try out fitness classes, and the common spaces are set up for folks to gather in community dining rooms, enjoy restaurant meals made by trained chefs, and take part in social and entertainment events-some themed around food-so there's no shortage of things to do or people to meet.
The community offers help with walking or using wheelchairs, does medication administration for those who need it, and provides in-house "Glencroft at Home" support for daily living needs, plus you don't have to mess with home or yard maintenance since those services are included in the monthly fee, and they can transport folks to grocery stores and shopping centers every week for free. The place brings together several types of senior living, so there's independent living, assisted living with ALTCS support, Alzheimer's and memory care neighborhoods with security and staff, and skilled nursing care for people who need long-term help or rehab right there on campus. There's a focus on what they call modern aging, and their ZoeLife program aims to address spiritual, social, physical, and emotional needs, reminding everyone to stay engaged and active, and they've got everything from wellness classes and hobby groups to church services, grief counseling, and home or hospital visits.
There's a barber shop and beauty shop on campus, on-site haircuts, community TV broadcasts and a resident portal so folks can stay in the loop about activities, and offsite trips make it easy to get out for a bit. Security, meals, transportation, and activities are rolled into the all-inclusive services, which can take a load off loved ones' minds. The staff plans social programs to help residents form friendships and feel purpose, and many activities are adapted for changing mental or physical health, so no one's left out. Overall, Glencroft Center for Modern Aging offers a broad range of support, care, and choice as people age, and there's a steady, comforting sense that no matter the level of need, there's usually something here for everyone.
