Trinity View Retirement Community in Arden, NC, operates as an assisted-living provider with a clear emphasis on day-to-day medical oversight. Licensed nurses are on site to monitor vital signs and blood sugar levels, administer insulin, coordinate lab work, and communicate changes to physicians and families. Individual service plans are built around diabetes management protocols, so residents who require glucose checks or specialized diets receive consistent attention without leaving the building.
Beyond routine diabetes care, the community offers respite and short-term stays, giving caregivers a break or allowing prospective residents to sample services before making a long-term decision. Staff members assist with medication administration, bathing, dressing, and mobility, and they remain available around the clock. Physical, occupational, and speech therapy can be arranged on site, and an emergency response system links each apartment to trained personnel in seconds.
Apartments vary in size and layout, and not every unit includes every feature, but options range from studios with kitchenettes to ground-floor suites with full kitchens, private baths, and garden-view patios or balconies. All residences are air conditioned and wired for cable or satellite TV and high-speed Wi-Fi. The campus also offers uncovered and resident parking, a library, computer and media center, meeting rooms, and indoor common areas such as a billiards lounge, piano space, and a fireside living room. Outdoor common areas include walking paths, raised garden beds, and seating for visiting family—and cats are welcome.
Three meals are provided daily in a restaurant-style dining room where servers take orders and note dietary requirements, including carbohydrate-controlled menus for residents with diabetes. Guests can purchase meals to join loved ones, and seasonal barbecues and picnic events move dining outdoors when the weather cooperates. Flexible menu choices and prepared snacks accommodate changing appetites, while hydration stations encourage residents to stay well hydrated throughout the day.
Residents fill their calendars with on-site activities such as art classes, quilting and sewing clubs, Bible study, choir practice, bridge, stretching, chair yoga, wine tastings, and happy hour gatherings. A fitness center supports regular exercise routines, while walking clubs venture onto nearby paths. Off-site day trips, live music, dance or theater performances, holiday parties, and men’s club meetings add more variety. A dedicated game room and gardening club round out the options, ensuring residents can remain socially and physically active without leaving the property.
