The fitness center's a fine way to stay active without leaving the building, and there's also a business center with internet if you need to get online. The whole place is managed by Horizon, which also runs other senior care sites in Monona like Heritage Monona, Monona Meadows, and Monona Hills. You get easy access to public transit, and if you need to go somewhere, there's transportation available, some for free and some at a cost. The building offers both independent senior apartments and connections to assisted living, memory care, and even home care services through their network, so if needs change, there's support there. They allow pets, mainly cats, and also have beauty and barber services in-house, so you don't have to go far for a trim or a wash. You'll find trips and outings planned by full-time activity directors, both on-site and off, and there's a focus on social and recreational activities, whether in the indoor common areas, the outdoor spaces, or elsewhere around town. Frost Woods II even has a separate retail section on the ground floor, about 16,000 square feet, for easy errands. The property opened in 2004 and has been kept up through professional, responsive management since then. If you're looking for a relaxed, social, maintenance-free living space in Monona, this one covers a lot of ground without being fancy or over the top.
