Steeplechase Retirement Residence offers an Independent Living setting designed for residents who want a maintenance-free lifestyle while retaining full control of their daily routines. Regularly scheduled doctor visits and diabetes management support are available, and licensed nurses oversee medication management to help residents stay on track with prescriptions and glucose monitoring.

Beyond routine physician oversight, the community provides multiple on-site clinical services. Incontinence and ambulatory care are available for residents who need added assistance, and hospice services can be introduced if a resident’s condition changes. A physical therapist and podiatrist visit the property on a scheduled basis, giving residents direct access to rehabilitative exercises and foot care without leaving campus. These services allow residents to stay in familiar surroundings even when their health care needs evolve.

Apartments and suites come in a variety of floor plans, some offering kitchenettes, private decks, or patios, while others feature wheelchair-accessible showers, balconies, or fireplaces. Wi-Fi, cable or satellite TV, and individually controlled air conditioning are standard in many units, and the community’s pet-friendly policy allows residents to bring a small companion animal. Because layouts differ, not every accommodation includes every feature, so prospective residents should confirm specific details during a tour.

Dining is handled by a professional chef who prepares three meals daily, with menus that can accommodate dietary requirements such as diabetic considerations. Meals are served restaurant-style, and residents may invite family or friends to join them by arranging for guest meals in advance.

Residents have access to a library and computer lounge, raised garden beds, a swimming pool, and an activity center that hosts karaoke, live music, birthday parties, dances, and happy hours. Yoga and chair yoga sessions are scheduled regularly, and various clubs and community groups plan social outings to nearby attractions.

Residents and their families say:

This community has generally received high praise for its dedicated and responsive staff, varied and enjoyable food, and well-maintained facilities, including beautiful surroundings. Many reviewers highlighted the compassionate and understanding nature of the staff, which significantly contributed to making this community the right place for their loved ones at this time in their lives. The social aspects of the community, such as a variety of activities, entertainment, and the opportunity to make friends, were particularly appreciated, as they have positively impacted residents' lives. The community offers a range of amenities, including studio apartments with nice views and small kitchens that accommodate all the needs of the residents. The management has been described as gracious and helpful, with several reviewers noting that any issues raised were promptly addressed.

However, there have been some concerns mentioned across reviews. The change in food quality due to changing companies has led to some dissatisfaction among residents. While some reviews mention exceptional food, others have noted that the quality and variety of meals have decreased over time. Another recurrent concern was regarding the facility's infrastructure, such as the sufficiency of having only one elevator for the entire building, which was seen as a safety issue and an inconvenience. Additionally, some reviewers have pointed out management and staff turnover, which has caused disruptions, and the cleaning services, particularly for the apartments, were noted as needing improvement in consistency and thoroughness. Despite these criticisms, the community's efforts to keep residents engaged and satisfied, particularly through its dining program and the variety of activities offered, stand out as significant positives.
