Village at Meadow Pointe sits in the Meadow Pointe Vista neighborhood in Harrisonburg, and the buildings here were put up back in 2004 by Oak Crest Builders, so you'll notice contemporary duplex and multi-family homes, mostly single-level, with brick exteriors and roomy front porches, and there are about 136 attached residences, most with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, and the living areas run from about 1,400 to 2,700 square feet, and homes can include features like walk-in closets, eat-in kitchens, digital keypad locks, WiFi-connected thermostats, double-pane windows, a fenced backyard, a garage with a quiet garage door opener, and even a 220V electric vehicle charging outlet. There are sidewalks for easy strolls, landscaped and level lots, lawns with partial fencing, and a botanical garden, so folks can walk on the many scenic trails, visit the serene lake for some quiet, or just enjoy the picnic areas and the backyard gardens, and if you've got grandchildren coming by, there's a playground right here, which is rare for these types of places, and there's even a fenced yard for small dogs, though anybody bringing a pet will need to negotiate pet rent and deposit.
This is a 55+ community meant for adults wanting an active, maintenance-free lifestyle, and the homeowners' association handles common area and exterior maintenance for a monthly fee, which helps keep things tidy and stress-free, and there's a clubhouse, a game room, arts rooms, a library, outdoor and indoor gathering spaces, and the Meadow Pointe Activity Center serves as the social hub where residents join card games, gardening clubs, events like Movies Under the Stars, and impromptu picnics. There's plenty to do outside too, with biking trails and outdoor programs in the parks and green spaces. You'll find fitness programs, a wellness room, scheduled activities each day, a spa and sauna, and movie nights, and residents themselves sometimes organize activities, so people stay connected and busy without feeling forced.
Village at Meadow Pointe provides a range of care types, so someone can start in independent living, get a little help with things if needed, or move into assisted living or memory care if their needs change, because this is a continuing care retirement community (CCRC) that lets people age in place. There are board and care homes on property for those who need daily care in a smaller setting, and skilled nursing is available for seniors who need a lot of medical support, with care staff providing 12-16 hour nursing coverage, a 24-hour call system, and full supervision. Memory care programs here offer safe environments and memory-enhancing activities for people living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and for anyone who wants short-term help, there's respite care. The staff provide help with daily tasks, bathing and dressing, meal service, medication management, wound care, and rehabilitation, and there's always a care plan that adjusts to what a resident needs. The buildings have emergency alert systems and smoke detectors for safety, and healthcare staff and support members are always nearby.
Homes have private bathrooms, cable TV, WiFi, kitchens or kitchenettes, air conditioning, phones, and basic furnishings, and some units feature open eat-in kitchens and permanent attic stairs. Dining options include a dining room, all-day and restaurant-style dining, a professional chef, allergen-sensitive menus, and meal preparation and service, so meal times aren't a hassle. Housekeeping, laundry, move-in help, family support, and a concierge are included, and transportation and parking are available, so coming and going's simple even if you stop driving. The community really tries to support seniors in every stage of aging, offering independent living with maintenance-free services, assisted living for those needing daily help, board and care homes, memory care with safe routines, and skilled nursing for people with complex health needs, so families feel less stress and everyone's cared for. The neighborhood's pleasant, safe, and close to nature, with friendly sidewalks and space for visitors, so there's always a sense of being home rather than in an institution.
