Plum Landing in Aurora is an independent-living community that prioritizes straightforward, reliable care for its residents. The community supports individuals who are under 60 as well as those managing diabetes with either oral medications or insulin injections. Because there is no formal dementia program, the setting is best suited for people who can direct their own daily routines. An on-site Activity Director coordinates events that match residents’ abilities while a door-alarmed entrance helps the staff monitor who comes and goes.
Residents who live at Plum Landing handle most activities of daily living on their own, yet staff members can step in with bathing, dressing, eating, or toileting when occasional assistance is needed. The building is equipped to support walkers and wheelchairs, so transfers are manageable for people who use either device. These care services are designed to let residents remain independent while still knowing help is close at hand.
Apartments offer practical features such as private bathrooms, individual temperature controls, and cable connections, although not every unit contains every feature. Housekeeping takes place twice each month, and laundry service is available for independent-living residents who prefer not to do it themselves. A monthly meal plan is also offered so residents can budget and plan ahead without sacrificing flexibility.
Dining is structured to give residents options. Meals are prepared by a professional chef, with guest meals, vegetarian selections, gluten-free choices, and all-day dining available. For a more formal experience residents can use the main dining room, yet private dining space can be reserved when needed. Restaurant-style service means residents order from a menu rather than follow a preset rotation, and the kitchen staff makes sure to accommodate most dietary restrictions.
Beyond the basic care and dining services, Plum Landing provides resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, and twice-daily well-being checks. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Other conveniences include on-site barber and beauty services, internet access, a library, a county store, onsite religious services, balconies on select units, and a full communal kitchen for resident use. Smoking is permitted outside, and the community offers scheduled transportation as well as proximity to public transit for residents who travel independently.
