Garden Villas North sits on over 25 acres of well-kept grounds with a lake, walking paths, and lovely gardens, which means residents can take a stroll outside, watch the ducks, or just sit and enjoy the view, and the building itself is designed so sunlight streams through floor-to-ceiling windows, making the inside feel bright and comfortable. Apartments come in one or two bedroom layouts, and each one has full-size kitchen appliances, large windows, private bathrooms, and most even have patio doors; some offer washer and dryer hook-ups too. There's WiFi in both the apartments and throughout the common areas, cable and satellite TV options, and all utilities except for telephone are included in the rent, which is always all-inclusive-so residents don't have to worry about surprise fees, especially since breakfast and lunch plans come standard for independent living folks.
Staff members work around the clock to help, whether it's with housekeeping, laundry, or maintenance, and many of the staff have been at Garden Villas North for over 20 years, which adds a real sense of family and friendliness. The community welcomes pets-with a refundable $500 pet deposit-and there are plenty of places for animals to walk around outside or for residents just to relax and watch them play. Residents can get help with bathing, medication, dressing, transfers, and there's a call button system in every unit for safety, plus nurses on site for those who need skilled nursing, wound care, or memory care support. Medicaid is accepted for payments along with private options, and respite care and short-term stays are available, so caregivers can get a break or someone can come stay for a little while when needed.
There are plenty of activities to join in every day, such as games, arts and crafts, music programs, fitness classes, movie nights, outings to local places, and even a putting green and golf facilities for those who like to stay active. The grounds include outside walkways, a spiraling fountain, an indoor pool and spa, an outdoor pool, a garden, and a lake with a walking path. Indoors, you'll find a big dining room with glass walls, a library, a computer lab, a fitness center, an exercise room, salon services, a billiard and game room, an ice cream parlor, and even a business room. The community organizes shopping trips, group transportation, and offers valet parking, plus general transportation whenever needed; they'll help with grocery and package delivery, snow removal, and move-in coordination, and there's a full-service bank on site for convenience.
Dining includes all-day meals made by executive chefs with options for special diets like diabetic or allergy-sensitive plans, private party spaces, and a daily happy hour. Apartments and common areas get weekly maid and linen service, and staff are happy to lend a hand with little touches, like hanging pictures or moving furniture. Garden Villas North provides pharmacy services, wound management, MedResources, hospice and palliative care, medical equipment, home healthcare, and private duty services, so residents can get most of their healthcare needs met on-site and age in place as needs change.
This senior community focuses strongly on comfort, friendliness, and helping each resident live as independently as possible while enjoying a safe environment and a range of services-from daily recreation and rehabilitation therapies, to scheduled transportation, educational programs, and tailored wellness activities. The staff aims to keep the atmosphere warm and cozy, attending to individual preferences, and giving residents the freedom to choose how they spend their days, whether that means joining a social event, relaxing by the lake, or reading a book in the library.
