Courtland Place is an independent-living community that can accommodate residents who need specific medical oversight without the structure of assisted living or skilled nursing. The staff is trained to monitor oxygen use, support individuals under 60, and manage diabetes whether a resident relies on oral medications or injections. While the community does not specialize in dementia care, it maintains protocols and equipment needed to respond quickly to these routine but essential medical needs so residents can remain in their own apartments.
Day-to-day support is organized around safety and self-care. All employees undergo background checks, a full-time activity director keeps residents engaged, and exterior doors are alarmed. Each apartment is linked to a personal emergency response system that alerts staff. Help with bathing, dressing, eating, or toileting is offered on a self-care basis, and staff can assist residents who use walkers or wheelchairs for transfers.
Apartments at Courtland Place are designed for flexibility. Floor plans may include a private bathroom, individual climate controls, cable access, and the option to paint or decorate, but not every unit has every feature, so prospective residents should confirm availability. Independent-living residents can handle their own cooking or choose the monthly meal plan that provides daily meals in the dining room. Weekly laundry service is also available for those who prefer not to manage their own linens and clothing.
The dining room serves three daily meals with menu choices and open seating, allowing residents to dine with friends or family. Lighter options are available throughout the day, and kitchens in select apartments give residents the freedom to cook on their own schedule. For those on diabetic diets, staff can coordinate meal plans that match physician guidelines.
Amenities expand daily living options. Residents have on-site parking, handicapped loading zones, and scheduled medical transportation. The single-level campus is wheelchair accessible and includes a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, library, movie room, game room, and a “man cave” equipped with a pool table, piano, and TV. Outside, there are communal gardens, a large patio, and garden doors that open to private patios for some units. Floor plans vary and may feature designer kitchens, vaulted ceilings, generous-sized bedrooms, gas fireplaces, and private entrances; garages are available for an additional fee. Expanded basic cable, an extra phone line for computers, window coverings, and internet access are provided. On-site religious services meet spiritual needs, and a chapel is available. Smoking is permitted outdoors, and pets are allowed. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. For those who prefer public transit, the property is close to bus routes, and staff-arranged transportation can cover shopping or appointments.
