Colonial Heights Senior Living sits on a big, pretty piece of land-about 17 acres with lots of trees, green grass, walking paths, and quiet places to relax, kind of like a park right in Florence, Kentucky, close enough to shopping and medical care if you need them. The community's been here for more than 35 years, and plenty of the staff have been around so long, folks know them by name, and people say both the staff and the residents are always willing to lend a hand, or even offer a hug when someone needs it. The buildings have security systems, controlled entry, and a special code or secured area for memory care so residents stay safe, and the staff includes registered nurses, aides, activity directors, maintenance crews, housekeeping, and kitchen workers who take care of everything from cleaning and cooking to helping with daily needs.
Colonial Heights offers different kinds of apartments with floor plans that include one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and even rare five-bedroom options, and they come with full kitchens, patios, balconies, and large rooms, so some folks bring their pets and some just enjoy the extra space, and every unit has its own heat and air controls along with cable TV, Wi-Fi, and paid utilities except for the phone. There are private and furnished rooms too, and apartments fit folks looking for independent living, assisted living, or personal care. For people dealing with memory loss, Alzheimer's, or dementia, Colonial Heights offers specialized Memory Care with its own routines to lower confusion and stop wandering, plus personalized care plans that can change as needs change.
Residents get help with bathing, dressing, grooming, and medication if that's needed, plus there's a wellness center, and therapy options like speech, physical, or occupational therapy. A chef and meal planner handle healthy, tasty daily meals with vitamins and minerals in mind, and meals get served in a nice dining room where people eat together. Housekeeping and laundry services are handled for the residents, and local transportation is provided for appointments or outings, which makes life a little easier for those who need rides. The place is pet-friendly, has covered parking, and accessible for seniors using walkers or wheelchairs.
The community has a whole calendar of activities, including exercise classes, games, hobby groups, and sometimes music around the piano, with spaces like the activities room, living room, chapel, and gazebos for folks to gather or spend quiet time on their own. There's a focus on everyone getting involved, whether that's just sitting together on the patio for fresh air or joining a bigger group event. The buildings and apartments stay clean-family members have remarked on that-and everything's designed for senior comfort and safety, including emergency response systems in each apartment.
Colonial Heights has always focused on letting folks live as independently as possible, but there's plenty of support for those who need extra help-and for folks wanting to stay at home, the place even has home care aides that come out to help with companionship and non-medical needs. The grounds are peaceful and feel a little bit like the country, but it's never far from what's needed in the city. Staff treat residents like family, and the community stays lively while offering safety and care for seniors needing everything from independent living to more advanced nursing care, respite care, and memory support.
