The Peaks At Santa Rita

The Peaks At Santa Rita is an active retirement community where folks can find a mix of living options, like independent living, assisted living, memory care for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, skilled nursing, and even continuing care all in the same place, so there's help when health needs change, and everyone can stay in familiar surroundings, which a lot of people find comforting. The apartments here come in many styles and sizes, including cozy one-bedroom suites, bigger two-bedroom casitas, and some come with patios or balconies for sitting outside, and all have full kitchens, private bathrooms, washer and dryers, and walk-in closets, so you really get that sense of privacy and comfort, and there's floor plans called Madera, Sonoran, Catalina, Rincon, and Patagonia, so folks can pick what suits them best, and sizes range from 609 to 1,222 square feet, with a choice of features. The monthly rent covers a daily continental breakfast, transportation for doctor visits or errands, and there's always activities and outings planned, with things like games, events, and day trips, all organized by a community concierge who'll help schedule rides or sign people up for things, so nobody feels left out. Pets are welcome in the community, which is good news for animal lovers, and the grounds are lovely and spacious, with walking paths, tidy lawns, and green outdoor areas that give that open feel if folks want to take a walk or just sit outside. The clubhouse is well-kept and looks nice inside, and there's a fitness center where people can use the treadmills or the power step machine, plus a pool with a chair lift so everyone can enjoy a swim, and there are common rooms like a card and game room, a lounge, and a movie theater for relaxing and having fun. The place has modern touches like cable TV, high-speed internet, handicap access, and elevators, and the library is a good spot for anyone who likes reading. For those who need a little more help, assisted living services include personalized support with day-to-day needs, and memory care is set up to make things easier and safer for those with memory issues, with special rooms and layouts to cut down confusion and help prevent wandering. Home health care and nursing rehab are on hand, too, along with adult day care, so there are options if care needs change down the line. Meals include restaurant-style dining, and people can use the flexible dining plan when they want. The community is designed for people aged 55 and up, and many say it feels open and friendly, with staff around to help, and plenty of ways for residents to stay active and meet new folks if they want to, and all the main needs like maintenance and utilities are included, so residents have fewer chores to worry about.
