Heritage Woods of Freeport is an assisted-living community designed for residents who want daily help while maintaining as much independence as possible. The community coordinates access to a speech therapist for residents working on communication or swallowing challenges and offers structured diabetes care that includes monitoring and support for glucose management.
Additional on-site medical services are arranged to reduce the need for outside appointments. Residents have access to physical and occupational therapists who provide rehabilitative programs, a podiatrist who addresses foot health, and medication management to keep prescriptions accurate and timely. Incontinence care and ambulatory assistance are also available, offering practical support for mobility and personal care needs.
Apartments come in several layouts that may feature kitchenettes, individually controlled heating and air conditioning, and handicap-accessible bathrooms. Some units include conveniences such as a central fireplace, piano or organ, phone connections, and access to outdoor areas and parking. Because floor plans vary, not every accommodation includes every listed feature, so prospective residents should confirm specific details during a tour.
Meals are provided daily and served in a communal dining space, allowing residents to take meals without needing to cook. Staff can accommodate basic dietary preferences and coordinate with medical professionals when therapeutic diets are prescribed.
Day-to-day life is supported by a library and computer lounge, an activity center, raised garden beds, live music events, social outings, and seasonal use of a swimming pool. Residents are welcome outdoors to walk the grounds or relax in designated seating areas, adding variety to the daily routine.
