Avenbury Lakes in Avon, Ohio, sits on 145 acres with lakes, woods, open spaces, and walking trails, and you'll find 352 single-family homes plus attached homes for adults aged 55 and older, with floorplans ranging from two to three bedrooms, all with private patios or backyards, garages, basements, laundry rooms, and sunrooms, and there's a good mix of styles for folks who want something easy to care for or a little more space with split floor plans, and the grounds have lots of open space-at least 40 percent is set aside-with three lakes for fishing, a picnic area, walking and biking paths, and a putting green, plus a community garden and several sport courts where neighbors gather for tennis, bocce ball, or pickleball. There's a clubhouse called Avenbury Lodge that acts as the main meeting place-it's got a fitness center, indoor and outdoor pools with set hours, spa room, grand ballroom, arts and crafts room, mini theater, billiards and card rooms, meeting spaces, and a library, and this is where you see the regular gatherings and game nights for poker, Mah Jongg, bridge, and so on, along with lots of clubs like the travel club, quilt club, garden group, breakfast forum, book group, poets society, and more, and folks keep busy with exercise classes, water aerobics, pool games, stretching, and walking groups. The calendar stays full with block parties, move-in socials, and the "Neighbors Helping Neighbor" program that looks out for newcomers, plus different volunteer and standing committees, so life feels pretty organized and there's a real effort to keep people engaged and cared for.
Avenbury Lakes provides different senior living options, with independent living for active people, assisted living for folks who need a hand with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, and meals, and memory care for those living with dementia, all with staff on-site 24/7, supervised support, emergency alert systems, and a 24-hour call system for safety, and there's help too with medicine, health checks, and personal care, plus nursing, rehab, and wound care for those who need it. The community can take care of complex medical needs for up to six residents in memory care or nursing care, and offers non-ambulatory assistance as well. Residents get daily housekeeping, laundry service, phone and high-speed Wi-Fi, and help with moving in, and the dining options range from all-day to allergy-sensitive and diabetic menus, with professional kitchen staff making meals. People who like to travel will appreciate the on-site RV parking, and there's always transportation available for medical visits or errands. The management, led by Ruth Angell, Laurie Lynch (administrator for the lodge), and a Board of Directors, keeps the place well-run, safe, and in good shape, and the community website shares updates and news, with the Wordfence plugin in place to secure information online.
Whether someone's looking for a quiet walking path, organized activities, block parties, a good meal, book club, walking group, or just comfortable living with support when it's needed, Avenbury Lakes has set up a blend of comfort, safety, and community, and there always seems to be someone around to lend a hand or share a story.
