The Courtyards at Little Bear is a small assisted living community designed for six residents, so things tend to feel quieter and more personal than in bigger places, and there's a bit of everything here without being overwhelming. The homes have open kitchens with granite countertops, vaulted ceilings, new floors, fireplaces for sitting near, and their own air conditioning and patios, which is nice if you like some fresh air without leaving the building. People have private bathrooms, walk-in showers, updated kitchen appliances like dishwashers and microwaves, and there's Wi-Fi along with cable TV in each room, which keeps it easy to stay connected or watch favorite shows. Residents get help with things like dressing, bathing, and medication-as needed, and the 24-hour call system means staff can respond when someone needs them. Meals are prepared on site and can fit limitations like diabetes or food allergies, so you don't need to worry about cooking much or having food that isn't safe to eat, and there's both restaurant-style and all-day dining.
One special touch is the design-there are landscaped garden courtyards and some private fenced yards to sit outside, and there's a radon mitigation system in the basement, which some might like knowing about. The community stands out for its unique event and gathering spaces too. The Wenbeck wedding and events center sits right on site with different spots for weddings, birthday parties, and large family get-togethers, whether that means the indoor white brick room with bright windows, a gallery space, or gardens thick with flowers and trees. Some spaces fit 150 or more, while others are better for smaller, intimate groups. They offer event help, in-house catering, and have equipment like tables and even a mobile bar if you need to throw a bigger party. The connection with Little Bear Golf Club adds another option for outdoor events or fitness, and there's an indoor gymnasium, too. Young visitors can play with trampolines, ball pits, and slides during family parties.
The homes have modern bathrooms, updated windows, and features for easier daily living. Staff give medication reminders, handle laundry and housekeeping, and do basic care coordination, and they try hard to be attentive even though things are simple and not overly fancy. The Courtyards at Little Bear is close to one hospital, many restaurants and cafes, six parks, pharmacies, and doctor offices, which keeps things convenient for both health needs and a change of scene. It's also near a place of worship for spiritual support, and getting to medical help or seeing other people isn't a chore. Residents can take part in group activities, fitness classes, music or movie nights, and walk along outdoor paths. There's free parking on site for visitors and plenty of spaces for residents with cars, with some spaces for those who need extra accessibility support.
Housekeeping, meal service, and transportation are available to help residents keep routines simple and focus energy where it's needed most, and respite care is an option for short-term stays. The Courtyards at Little Bear isn't a huge place, but it provides honest care, enough modern comforts, and a calm, welcoming setting for seniors needing a little extra help while enjoying an active life or simply slowing down a bit in good company.
