W.B. Sanders Retirement Center is a quiet retirement community with 61 efficiency studio apartments, each about 400 square feet and including one bathroom, where people who are 62 or older or disabled and meet income requirements can live. The building had a big remodel in 2017, which updated things like kitchens, bathroom fixtures, windows, and floors, and folks still talk about the time capsule they opened in 2018 that was tucked into the wall back in 1982. The place lets residents live on their own, with independent living, assisted living, and memory care services available, along with extra care such as ambulatory and diabetic support as needed, so people can get help if their health changes. Staff members, who people say are friendly and helpful, truly work to keep everything welcoming and calm, and it all feels safe, with security features in place to help everyone feel at ease.
There are lots of spaces where residents can spend time together like a big community dining room that doubles up for weekly Bingo with prizes, a TV area with comfortable furniture, an activity room for games, and a computer room, while folks who want quiet can relax outside at picnic tables and benches or feed their dogs and pet their cats because small pets and service animals are welcome here. Everyone can use the coin-operated laundry machines right on site, which helps keep chores easy. For those looking for worship and social engagement, there are options, too, with devotional services arranged off site, nearby churches, and parks close by for fresh air or a walk, plus there are lots of restaurants, doctors, pharmacies, and stores-like a grocery and a salon right at Jackson House Apartments, which is connected-for convenience. Senior meals come to the door Monday through Friday which saves trips to the kitchen, the utilities are included, and there's a real sense that people here keep an eye out for each other, making this a supportive spot for seniors wanting comfort, company, and independence, all managed by L.E.A. Properties LLC DBA Beacon with office hours during the week and an online resident portal for any forms or questions that come up.
