The Stratford at West Clay is a large senior living community that's part of Senior Living Communities, and what you see first are the colorful multi-story buildings with balconies and classic arches, and you might notice the landscaped grounds, central fountain, and manicured lawns that surround everything, because people here enjoy both fresh air and places to walk, plus there's underground parking for residents. The campus works as a Continuing Care Retirement Community, which means you'll find multiple care levels on one site-independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, senior rehab, and even adult day care, so folks can move between services as their needs change and not leave the community. The apartments and cottages come in several sizes like studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, three-bedroom, and there are companion or semi-private rooms too, and people can bring their own furniture to feel more at home.
Inside, there are cozy lounge areas, a library with a fireplace for quiet time, and a clubhouse for group activities, plus a movie theater, a game room, and a computer center, and you'll often find people in the fitness center, cafe, or at the bar and bistro, and some spend time swimming in the heated indoor pool. Residents and their families eat in dining rooms where tables are set with black linens and tan chairs, or in the private dining space, and there's always country club-style dining, three daily meals, and regular menu specials. Everyone can enjoy the landscaped courtyards and patios, whether you want to walk your pet, gather for an event, or just sit in the sun.
The Stratford offers independent living where folks don't worry about housekeeping, yard work, or maintenance, because that's all included, and the apartments and cottages have a 24-hour emergency call system for safety.
