15 Craigside stands as a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) right in a high-rise building, offering independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and long-term care services, and you can find studio or one-bedroom apartments with dens and private lanais, big floor-to-ceiling windows, and open, roomy layouts, some even with separate bathrooms and emergency call systems. Residents get individual air conditioning and electric kitchenettes with full-size refrigerators, and plenty of closet space for storage, and there's always staff in the building 24 hours every day for emergencies or help, which gives families some peace of mind. Residents enjoy three nutritious, chef-prepared meals a day in a restaurant-style dining room, or they can get meal trays or takeout, and there are housekeeping, linen, and maintenance services included in the monthly fee. Folks appreciate that the staff is kind and helpful, that there's low staff turnover, and that the staff-to-resident ratio is high, which can make for consistent care.
The community has a library, solarium, chapel, indoor pool, fitness center, recreation room, arts room, spacious lobby, resident store, walking paths, and a garden, and you'll notice the outdoor spaces are well-groomed and inviting. For social connections and fun, there's always a full schedule with movie nights, exercise classes, arts and crafts, entertainment, and special events, plus devotional activities for spiritual support on site and off. Transportation is available for group outings and appointments. Residents can participate in wellness programs, fitness classes, and activities designed for physical, mental, and emotional health.
The senior living options cover everything from fully independent living for active seniors to assisted living for those who need help with bathing, dressing, or medication, and there's also memory care with programs that help prevent wandering and reduce confusion. Personalized care plans aim to match each resident's needs, and healthcare includes diabetes care, incontinence care, non-ambulatory care, nursing supervision, medication management, and help from nurse practitioners and licensed nurses, all available 24 hours, seven days a week. Skilled nursing and rehabilitation services include physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and it's possible for residents to work with their personal physicians.
Residents' safety is a focus, with an emergency alert system throughout, 24-hour security, and call lights in apartments. Every apartment has cable TV and there are Amazon Echo Dot voice assistants for convenience. Social services and licensed social workers help with moving in or out, transition needs, and discharge planning, and home care is offered by trained aides for companionship and non-medical help.
In addition to long-term and hospice care, 15 Craigside's healthcare center has a boarder room with five free days for new residents, accepts Medicare, and provides a range of skilled nursing and therapy services around the clock. The community has earned awards like Best of Senior Living and the Best of Senior Living All Star award, and it's known for nutritious meals and a welcoming, friendly atmosphere fostered by staff and neighbors alike.
