The Colonnade at Beckett Lake is a three-story senior living community near Beckett Lake, set in a peaceful and pretty spot, and it takes care of people 55 and older who may want independent living, assisted living, or memory care. The building has both studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments in several sizes, so some rooms have patios or balconies, and some even have views of the lake, which is quite nice. Apartments are well-lit and roomy, offering kitchenettes, plenty of storage, and emergency response systems, with all the utilities, cable, internet, and phone included in the monthly fee, plus weekly housekeeping, laundry, and linen service, and beds made every day, which can be a big help for many folks. The community allows pets, although there may be an extra fee, and they've got walking paths and a secure, landscaped courtyard with garden areas, an outdoor grill, and a fire pit, which makes it easy to get outside for some fresh air or a visit with neighbors.
Inside, there are a lot of inviting, bright spaces where people gather, like community rooms with comfortable seating, large TVs, and big windows for sunlight, along with game tables and fireplaces that make things cozy, and there's even a full library for quiet reading or social times. Residents enjoy restaurant-style dining three times a day with chef-prepared meals, and there are options for guests, special diets, private dining rooms, and a full-service bar for happy hour, so mealtimes can be both relaxing and social. There's a movie theater, arts and crafts studio, fitness center with equipment and classes, beauty salon and barbershop, and café/bistro, and activities fill the days with everything from fitness classes and art workshops to educational seminars and outings arranged by a full-time Activity Director. The SRI University brings university-style lifelong learning classes, and there's a comprehensive calendar with things planned out well in advance to keep residents active and involved.
For transportation, the community offers complimentary rides and even resident parking, which helps with doctor's visits and outings, and it's close to medical facilities, so that can bring peace of mind. Staff are always on site, described as caring and responsive, and provide round-the-clock assistance whether it's memory care for those living with Alzheimer's or dementia, or just support for daily activities in assisted living. The building's hurricane-prepared, and there's extra security so residents feel safe and watched over, including wheelchair accessibility throughout, and a home care agency is available on site. There's hospice and respite care, room for spiritual support with devotional services including visiting chaplains and rabbis, and special programming for sensory needs in the memory care section, where the area is secure but homelike, and caregivers have extra training for those specific challenges.
Residents have access to grocery shopping service, laundry, housekeeping, and even maintenance, removing chores and letting them enjoy their time, and activities are made to encourage friendships, socialization, and motivation, so no one has to feel alone. The overall spirit at The Colonnade at Beckett Lake is aimed at comfort, safety, and personal dignity, with care that's truly tailored for each person, and plenty of common spaces to enjoy, whether that's the lakeside balcony, the walking paths, a casual movie night, or a happy meal shared with friends.
