Culpepper Garden III is a continuing care retirement community that offers seniors choices including independent living, assisted living, and skilled nursing all in one place, and it's designed to help people comfortably age in place, so as folks' needs change, they can get more help while staying where they're familiar, and assisted living there is set up with dignity in mind, giving meaningful support while letting folks keep their independence and privacy. There are 73 one-bedroom apartments where residents can bring their own things, and every apartment has a private bathroom, air conditioning, cable TV, and Wi-Fi, so there's some comfort and normalcy, plus there are gardens and places to walk, including space where people can grow flowers or vegetables, and then there's a fitness room, a game room, a small library, a computer center, a wellness center, and a beauty salon, so people have ways to stay active and connected.
The meals are prepared on site, with an option for either one or two a day, and they accommodate special diets like for diabetes, and food can be delivered to rooms if that's needed, and Culpepper Garden III has laundry, housekeeping, and regular help with things like bathing, dressing, or moving from bed to chair, plus there's help with medications and coordination with doctors. Nursing staff are there for 12 to 16 hours a day, but there's a 24-hour emergency call system if anyone has a need in the night or needs help right away, so people feel safe, and there's respite care for short-term stays, which helps families or caregivers take a break. The staff can help with other medical needs too, including care for diabetic residents or those who can't move by themselves, plus memory care is offered for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, and on-site activities run by a full-time director keep everyone involved with programs, wellness, devotional gatherings, or trips out.
Public transportation is nearby, but the community also arranges rides for medical or regular errands, and the property as a whole is managed by Coordinated Services Management, with independent living and assisted living both available. The community is known for being warm and welcoming, with chances to volunteer or get involved, and community partners and local volunteers help provide extra programs, entertainment, or support, so a sense of belonging grows over time. Culpepper Garden III is a nonprofit with a mission to give affordable, high-quality housing and support services to seniors, especially those with limited incomes, so even folks with fewer resources can live with dignity. For anyone looking for support, Sharon Davis and Samantha Herbel handle admissions and tours, so people can get to know the place, and Marta Hill Gray is the contact for donations and fundraising, plus there's a volunteer process and Colleen Boltri is the point of contact for volunteers, so there's a community feel, and transportation, safety, healthcare, activities, and affordable options all come together in a quiet neighborhood where you can walk to a park, a pharmacy, a church, or sit outside with a friend, and the mission really centers on letting people age comfortably, safely, and with some independence in a home-like setting.
