The Highlands offers an Independent Living setting with access to several on-site medical services designed to help residents maintain health and safety without leaving the property. Medication management is available for individuals who take multiple prescriptions or need help with dosage schedules, and staff can coordinate directly with physicians and pharmacies to keep orders current. For residents who require end-of-life support, hospice care can be arranged and carried out on the premises to minimize disruption and keep families nearby. A licensed massage therapist is also on site, providing non-invasive pain relief and relaxation therapy that can complement other treatment plans.
Beyond these clinical services, the community keeps a nurse on duty for routine wellness checks, blood pressure screenings, and immediate response to minor health concerns. Emergency call systems are placed throughout common areas and apartments, giving residents prompt access to assistance 24 hours a day. Transportation for off-site medical appointments is available by arrangement, and staff handle scheduling and reminders as needed. The goal is to let residents remain as independent as possible while having reliable back-up care in place.
Apartments at The Highlands vary in size and layout, and not every unit comes with every feature. Options may include kitchenettes for light cooking, wheelchair-accessible showers, cable or satellite TV hookups, high-speed internet, individual climate control, and private balconies, decks, or patios. Common areas add a central fireplace, a piano or organ for informal gatherings, outdoor seating areas, and convenient parking. The property is pet friendly, although breed and weight restrictions may apply.
Daily meals are prepared by a professional chef and served restaurant-style in a communal dining room. Residents can choose from standard menus or request vegetarian, gluten-free, or low/no-sodium alternatives at each sitting. Guest meals can be arranged with advance notice so family members can dine on site. The kitchen staff tracks dietary preferences and works with healthcare providers when specialized nutrition plans are prescribed.
Leisure amenities include an activity center, indoor and outdoor walking paths, raised garden beds, a swimming pool, and a fitness program that features yoga and chair yoga sessions. Residents can join Montessori-based cognitive activities, reminiscence programs, and intergenerational events that bring local students into the community. Social calendars regularly list karaoke, happy hours, live music, dances, birthday celebrations, and group outings. A library and computer lounge offers a quieter setting for reading, internet use, or small meetings.
