The Osborn Senior Living sits on 56 landscaped acres that include gardens, walking trails, and an arboretum, so you'll see plenty of trees and flowers and places to sit outside if you like that sort of thing, and the single-story garden homes and Sterling Park Independent Living apartments all have views of the grounds, so you get a bit of nature even when you're indoors. The community began in 1908 and has stayed not-for-profit ever since. It offers independent living, assisted living, memory care programs, and long-term skilled nursing care, which lets folks move to different levels of help as they need, and most everyone can stay in familiar surroundings even if health needs change with time. The Osborn is CARF-CCAC accredited as a Continuing Care Community, and there's a special Pavilion with private rooms for both short-term rehabilitation and long-term skilled nursing, so people get privacy as well as care.
People can find meals in the dining room or have breakfast in their own apartment, and there are weekly activities like "News and Views" current events, classical concerts with flute and piano, and twice-a-week exercise classes. The H.O.P.E. Center serves memory care residents and secured memory care units add another layer of safety for people who need it. There's nurse case management, medication reminders, home health aides for things like bathing, dressing, and meal preparation, and Osborn Home Care for those who want extra help in their own residence, plus on-campus outpatient rehabilitation for physical, speech, and occupational therapies.
Pets are allowed, especially small ones, and people use walkers and wheelchairs for activities, so everything's wheelchair accessible. Amenities include a putting green, fitness center, an indoor pool and spa, covered and guest parking, and options for laundry, housekeeping, and social programs. Some homes are a single level and there are one, two, and three-bedroom residences, so there's some choice in living arrangements. Assisted living comes with rental apartments, and there's also a 100% refundable entry fee option for people who want that.
The Osborn also has special live-in arrangements for those needing caregivers and runs foundation programs for community relations and donations, with a focus on keeping everyone as engaged and active as they want to be. Residents usually participate in cultural events, and there's a long tradition of staying involved. Staff get described as accommodating and attentive, and services include transportation, meal options, assistance with daily living, and a nurse on staff. The community is gated, has handicap access, and is built to make living easier no matter what health changes come along.
