Heron Point of Chestertown sits on the Chester River at 501 East Campus Avenue, where staff give care with compassion and attention. The site offers cottages and apartment homes surrounded by garden spaces, with an 800-foot boardwalk and two miles of walking paths, so you can enjoy both nature and simple daily strolls. The Acts Life Care contract lets residents plan ahead for long-term health needs, giving some peace of mind. The community covers a range of services: independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care for dementia and Alzheimer's, and hospice care for those who need comfort at the end of life, so you won't have to move if your needs change. Staff are there around the clock to help with bathing, dressing, transferring, and medication management, plus skilled medical care and supervision as needed.
Physical therapy is available on site, and Heron Point has a barber and salon, an arts room, and community activities like movie nights. There's support for adults dealing with physical and behavioral issues, and they help with social programs, support groups, and activities led by residents and the community. The community provides transportation for medical visits and other non-emergency rides, plus help with home repairs, meals, and groceries when needed. Veterans and those on Medicare or Medicaid can get advice on benefits, and there's help for those dealing with elder law or finances. People can join employment programs, try assistive technology, or access caregiver training and subsidies. Heron Point supports people with disabilities, runs elder abuse hotlines, adult day programs, and other safety net services.
The community belongs to Acts Retirement-Life Communities, which are known for safe and resort-style campuses but focus here is on comfortable, steady care and a fulfilling daily life. On this riverfront site, residents can enjoy sailing or launching small crafts, get outside, or join social clubs. Heron Point of Chestertown welcomes older adults seeking a setting for physical, mental, cultural, and spiritual health, with grow-your-own garden plots and health services in one place, and they keep an emergency alert system in every home for added safety. Skilled staff offer care for those with different health needs, and each person gets personalized help through the community's Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) model, so help is always as needed.
