Shawnee Hills offers an Independent Living setting that balances autonomy with readily available clinical oversight. Licensed nurses coordinate routine health monitoring and can facilitate visits with on-site physicians, while residents managing diabetes receive targeted support that includes glucose monitoring and dietary coordination. A certified speech therapist is available for communication or swallowing needs, and optional medication management ensures prescriptions are taken correctly and on time.
Additional medical features are designed to limit outside appointments. In-house occupational and physical therapists guide personalized therapy plans, and a podiatrist visits regularly for foot health. Staff provide discreet incontinence and ambulatory care, and massage therapy is offered for comfort and muscle relief. Hospice services can be arranged when needed, allowing residents to remain in familiar surroundings even as health requirements evolve.
Accommodations range from studios to larger layouts, some featuring kitchenettes, private balconies, patios or decks, wheelchair-accessible showers, and handicap-friendly designs. Wi-Fi, cable or satellite TV, individual air conditioning and resident parking are available, and select homes are pet friendly. Common areas include a central fireplace, piano or organ, and landscaped grounds with a butterfly garden and other outdoor seating. Not every unit includes every feature, so confirming specific preferences during a tour is recommended.
Dining is handled by a professional chef who prepares three restaurant-style meals daily with an all-day dining option for flexible schedules. Menus accommodate low or no sodium, no added sugar and vegan diets, and visiting family members can request guest meals. Residents can expect rotating international dishes alongside familiar favorites, ensuring variety while respecting individual nutritional requirements.
Amenities support an active lifestyle with an activity center, library and computer lounge, and organized fitness programs such as yoga and chair yoga. Social calendars include live music, karaoke, dances, birthday celebrations and happy hours, and scheduled outings keep residents connected to the broader community. Raised garden beds and ample outdoor areas encourage time outside, while an on-site swimming pool offers low-impact exercise. Intergenerational programs bring local youth into the community for shared activities, broadening opportunities for engagement.
