Birch Heights is an independent-living community that offers a defined set of clinical supports designed to let residents remain as self-reliant as possible. Residents can schedule visits with an on-site speech therapist, and a podiatry service comes to the building for routine foot care. Short-term respite stays are available, giving families a place to turn when a primary caregiver is unavailable, and the staff is trained to support individuals living with mild dementia. For mobility, the team can assist with safe transfers whether a resident uses a walker or a wheelchair, and these services are delivered within the framework of an independent-living agreement that encourages active participation in daily routines.

Additional safeguards round out the health and safety program. An activity director coordinates daily programming while also keeping a watchful eye on resident well-being. Apartments are equipped with pull-cord alarms that connect directly to 911, and optional personal emergency response devices offer a second layer of protection that likewise dials emergency services. When residents need a hand with bathing, dressing, eating, or toileting, staff are on call to provide just enough help to keep tasks manageable without taking away independence.

Apartments at Birch Heights vary in layout, and not every unit has every feature, but options can include a private bathroom, a kitchenette for light meal preparation, and individual temperature controls. Weekly housekeeping and personal laundry services are part of the independent-living package, so residents can keep their focus on preferred hobbies instead of chores.

Dining follows a set menu that rotates regularly, with snacks available throughout the day. A monthly meal plan is built into the independent-living contract, ensuring predictable costs and three daily meals without the need to shop or cook unless a resident chooses to use the kitchenette in their apartment.

The campus is wheelchair accessible and offers resident parking, scheduled transportation, an exercise room, movie room, library, communal gardens, and spaces for special-interest clubs. A barber and beauty salon, concierge desk, on-site religious services, and high-speed internet keep day-to-day life convenient. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
