Encore at Great Plains

Encore at Great Plains sits in an active community in Aurora, where most homes are designed for low maintenance living for people aged 55 and over, and you walk right in with no stairs at all, which is nice for anyone using a wheelchair or walker, and those little touches like wider halls and doors make it easier getting around, plus there's a private two-car garage with extra storage, and a built-in back patio for relaxing outside, while the front patio lets you grill or chat with neighbors if you feel like it, and when you come inside you'll notice the home's a one-story ranch built in 2016 by Boulder Creek Neighborhoods, and there's a second end-unit built in 2018 by Boulder Creek Builders, each with open layouts joining the living room, dining, and kitchen together, so you've got lots of light coming in from big double-paned windows and a view of the whole space, and the kitchen offers all appliances, a large island, and a roomy pantry, plus there's hardwood-style laminate plank flooring in the living and primary bedroom areas, and off the garage entry there's this oversized laundry room that folks sometimes use for storage or even a little den, just as easily for a sewing room or study if that's what you need. The unit's got two bedrooms, and the second bedroom works well for guests, a study, or hobby space with natural light, while the primary suite has a large walk-in closet, and the bathroom comes with a big shower, double vanity sinks, and lots of room. HOAs take care of trash, snow removal, hazard insurance, and the grounds, so you don't have to worry about mowing or shoveling. Utilities include electricity, natural gas, and cable, and you can get Wi-Fi and telephone in the unit, along with air conditioning for summer. You'll find a gas fireplace with logs for warmth, and there's a full range of safety features like a zero-step entry, an emergency alert system, and a 24-hour call system if anyone needs help in a hurry, plus on-site staff provide assistance with bathing, dressing, medication, and light healthcare needs, with supervision available all day and night. Residents have their own bathrooms and in-unit laundry, and some units offer kitchenettes, and the shared spaces in the community cover just about anything you'd need, like a pool, clubhouse, library, arts and crafts room, movie theater for group nights, game room, fitness room, spa and sauna, wellness center, outdoor space, and several walking paths-so there's always something to do if you like activities, from scheduled fitness and arts classes, daily group events, to resident-run clubs, as well as organized movie or music nights and outdoor programs. There's ongoing transportation and parking, and maintenance staff tackle repairs and cleaning, with extra help available for housework, laundry, and organizing as needed, which keeps things pretty simple for those who'd rather spend time elsewhere. Community dining covers all-day meals, restaurant-style service, and options for people with allergies or diabetes, with choices between buffets, family-style, and even food trucks sometimes visiting. The location offers easy access to Great Plains Park next door for strolls or outings, and nearby trails connect to scenic routes. In terms of care, you can find assisted living, independent living, memory care, nursing care, and continuing care all in one place, so you don't have to leave the neighborhood if your health needs change, and local healthcare providers, from family doctors and nurses to specialists in many fields, are close by. The facility sits right in the Aurora market and welcomes residents who need more or less care, with a focus on letting older adults stay active while taking the worry out of things like housework or heavy maintenance, and with so many amenities and activities, everyone pretty much finds a way to keep busy or relax as they please.
