Southern Hills Retirement Community offers an Independent Living program designed for residents who are largely self-sufficient but want the security of reliable medical support. A licensed nurse is on site during business hours, and caregivers are on call around the clock to respond to pendant or pull-cord alerts. Residents can schedule on-property wellness checks, blood-pressure monitoring, and basic preventive screenings. The community coordinates with local physicians, pharmacies, and rehabilitation providers, and transportation to off-site medical appointments is available. Emergency response protocols are in place to ensure rapid transfer to nearby hospitals when needed.
Beyond direct medical oversight, the community delivers services that support ongoing health maintenance. Staff members can assist with medication reminders, arrange physical or occupational therapy visits, and facilitate chronic-condition management at the resident’s request. Weekly housekeeping, linen service, and maintenance reduce physical strain on residents, while a calendar of evidence-based fitness classes—such as balance training and low-impact aerobics—promotes mobility and fall prevention. The property is monitored by a 24-hour security team, and all common areas are equipped with accessible entrances and seating to minimize risk.
Apartments range from studios to two-bedroom layouts, and each unit includes basic utilities and emergency call systems. Depending on the floor plan, features may include full kitchenettes, private balconies or patios, individual climate control, cable or satellite television hookups, and Wi-Fi. Select residences incorporate wheelchair-accessible showers, while others offer standard step-in designs. Common-area comforts such as a central fireplace, outdoor decks, and designated parking give residents additional day-to-day convenience. The community is pet-friendly, but breed and size restrictions apply, and not every apartment can accommodate animals.
The dining program provides three daily meals served restaurant-style, with alternative selections available at each sitting. Menus are developed under nutritional guidelines that accommodate low-sodium and other physician-recommended diets, and the culinary team is prepared to adapt recipes for individual needs. Residents may invite guests to dine for an additional fee, and take-out trays can be arranged for those who prefer to eat in their apartments. Seasonal produce and routine feedback surveys guide ongoing menu revisions.
Recreational amenities include a library and computer lounge for reading, internet access, and video calls with family. Residents can spend time outdoors on walking paths or patios, and social programming features regular happy hours, birthday celebrations, live-music performances, and scheduled outings to local events and shopping. An activity center hosts crafts, discussion groups, and fitness classes, providing structured opportunities for engagement seven days a week.
