Vernon Woods provides both Assisted Living and Independent Living, allowing residents to match services to changing health needs without leaving the community. Ongoing medical support includes on-site physical therapy, structured diabetes care with glucose monitoring, and flexible respite or short-term stays for recovery or caregiver relief. These programs are coordinated with physicians and family members so that each resident receives the level of oversight appropriate to their condition.

Clinical offerings are reinforced by an emergency call system in every residence and a community-wide sprinkler system. Staff members handle medication management, incontinence and ambulatory care, and laundry or dry-cleaning services that support overall hygiene. Licensed massage therapy, pet-focused programs, and hospice or palliative care can be incorporated into a resident’s care plan, enabling individuals to remain at Vernon Woods even as medical complexities increase.

Apartments vary in size and layout, featuring options such as kitchenettes, private balconies or patios, wheelchair-accessible showers, in-unit washers and dryers, and included utilities. Many units provide central air conditioning, cable or satellite television, Wi-Fi, and convenient parking, while common spaces add a central fireplace, outdoor walking paths, landscaped decks, a billiards lounge, and other outdoor areas for fresh air and relaxation. Not all accommodations contain every listed feature, so prospective residents should confirm specific amenities during their tour.

Dining is managed by a professional chef who prepares three daily meals and an all-day dining menu. The kitchen can accommodate low-sodium, no-sugar, vegetarian, kosher, and gluten-free requirements, supporting diverse nutritional plans and medical directives. Guest meals let visitors join residents, and scheduled BBQs or picnics add variety to the routine while maintaining the option for balanced, physician-approved nutrition.

Residents have access to an activity center, game room, and movie or theater room, as well as a library and computer lounge for quiet study or online connection. Daily and weekly programming includes arts and crafts, yoga, fitness classes, health and wellness workshops, and Live Well initiatives. A swimming pool, jacuzzi, organized clubs, holiday parties, live music events, intergenerational programs, day trips, and other social outings offer multiple ways to stay active and engaged without leaving the campus.
