Seabury at Friendship Terrace is an independent-living community that supports residents who want to maintain day-to-day autonomy while having access to professional oversight. The community’s health team provides diabetes care, including routine blood-sugar monitoring, assistance with insulin management and coordination with outside physicians for ongoing treatment plans. Emergency response systems are in place in each apartment, and staff members are available around the clock to respond to urgent health needs.
Beyond diabetes management, residents can request wellness checks, medication reminders and help scheduling off-site medical appointments. Care staff stay in contact with families and primary care providers to adjust service plans as needs change, allowing residents to remain in independent living even as they require additional support. Transportation can be arranged for physician visits, and the community offers educational sessions on chronic-disease management so residents can stay informed about their own health.
Apartments come in several floor plans, and not every unit has every feature, so prospective residents should verify specific details during a tour. Many homes are on the ground floor and are handicap accessible, all are air-conditioned, and select units include kitchenettes. Cats are permitted in designated areas, subject to a weight limit. Shared spaces include indoor lounges with a central fireplace, a library, a computer and media center, meeting rooms and a performance area with a piano and organ. Outdoor common areas feature an expansive patio, resident parking, and gardens designed to attract butterflies and hummingbirds.
Meals are prepared by a professional chef and served restaurant-style three times daily, with menu choices accommodating vegetarian and gluten-free diets. A registered dietitian consults on balanced, diabetes-friendly options, and residents can participate in seasonal barbecues and picnics held on the grounds. Those who prefer lighter fare can stop by for snacks between scheduled meals, and guest dining is available with advance notice.
Residents have access to a steady calendar of on-site and off-site activities, including live music, dance performances, trivia games, stretching classes, yoga and chair yoga. The community organizes day trips, educational lectures, holiday parties, birthday celebrations and happy hours, and maintains raised garden beds for residents who enjoy tending plants. Social events such as dances and themed gatherings occur regularly, and optional spiritual programming includes Jewish services.
