University Pines offers an independent living setting designed for residents who are largely self-sufficient but want the reassurance of organized support. A staff member is on site around the clock, and each apartment is equipped with an emergency response system that links residents to help if a health concern arises. Scheduled transportation is available for medical appointments, and the community maintains relationships with area physicians and hospitals so residents can easily coordinate ongoing care and therapy services when needed.
Beyond the basic health safeguards, the community supports overall wellness through preventive programs such as routine blood-pressure checks, fitness classes suited to varying ability levels, and educational sessions on nutrition and medication management. Staff also assist with care coordination, helping residents track follow-up appointments or arrange in-home services like visiting nurses or rehabilitation therapists when short-term needs arise.
Apartments range from studio to two-bedroom layouts, each designed for ease of movement and outfitted with safety-minded features such as grab bars and step-in showers. Housekeeping is provided on a recurring schedule, and laundry services can be arranged weekly. Because floor plans vary, not every accommodation includes every feature; prospective residents should confirm details during a tour.
Residents receive three meals a day in the community dining room, with menus planned to provide balanced nutrition and accommodate common dietary needs such as low-sodium or heart-healthy options. Dining staff are available to discuss modifications for individual preferences or physician-ordered restrictions. Snacks and beverages are typically accessible throughout the day, giving residents flexibility outside scheduled meal times.
On-site amenities add convenience and encourage an active routine. Resident parking allows those who still drive to maintain independence. A full-service barber and beauty shop, an exercise room with age-appropriate equipment, concierge support for everyday tasks, and a well-stocked library provide practical and recreational options without leaving the property.
