The community manages both independent living and skilled nursing, with home care, memory care, and assisted living services tailored for residents' changing needs, which means elders who want to live with some help or fully on their own can find a comfortable space here. Each apartment has a full kitchen, central heat and air conditioning, updated bathrooms with bathtubs, and air conditioning, and you'll find ground floor units and handicap accessible features like elevators and easy-entry doors all throughout the buildings, which is really helpful for people who move with difficulty or use walkers and wheelchairs. Apartments come as either studios or one-bedrooms and allow pets like cats or dogs, though there's a weight limit for dogs, so people can keep their companions with them.
Residents have access to wide indoor and outdoor common areas, a patio with a grill, courtyard, and gardens for getting some fresh air, plus a multi-use room and a community room with Wi-Fi for gatherings or events. There's a library if folks like to read, a laundry room in every building, resident parking, and accessible public transportation, so getting around town or to the store isn't a big problem. The building has safety in mind, using a key fob entry, guarded entry with video patrol, and 24-hour emergency maintenance and security to make sure everyone is safe, and there's always on-site management and maintenance staff ready to help if anything comes up.
Social life at Alexian Court Apartments stays lively with a full calendar of activities like Bible study groups, birthday parties, BBQs, picnics, visits from chaplains or priests, music from resident musicians, educational speakers, community service projects, and holiday parties, which helps keep residents engaged and connected. There are even special dining events where visitors can join residents for meals, so families or old friends don't miss out. Residents get utilities included in the rent, and the community puts a lot of effort into senior-focused design, with wide halls, handrails, senior-friendly bathrooms, and spaces built for comfort and easy use. Living here means adults 55 and up can enjoy independence while knowing some help is close by, meeting both practical and social needs with a sense of dignity and friendliness.
