The Highlands Assisted Living sits on a 40-acre campus and can serve up to 55 residents, so people find plenty of room to walk inside and outside, especially in the courtyards and along the walking paths, or in large activity spaces with music and community conversations that fill the lively halls, where natural light pours in through skylights and tall windows, making it feel open and bright most days. This place belongs to Presbyterian Homes and is part of their continuum of care, which folks sometimes call a Life Plan Community, since they provide several kinds of care all in one place, including Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care, Skilled Nursing, Rehabilitation, Respite Care, Home Health Care, Adult Day Services, and even Hospice Care, so when someone's needs change, staff can help without making them move somewhere else. Staff at The Highlands help with daily needs like dressing and bathing, provide 24-hour help with activities of daily living, and assist with things like blood sugar management and diabetic care, while also being trained for memory care and issues that come with wandering or aggression, so even people with dementia or Alzheimer's have a secure, familiar place to stay.
Therapists visit to provide physical therapy and speech therapy, and there's special support for rehabilitation, whether someone needs short or long-term help. Residents can also sign up for Club 1904, which puts them on a priority waitlist and lets people choose their room size or get extras like meals, happy hours, help with relocation, real estate assessments, advance access to rehabilitation, wellness classes, and use of the fitness center, which is next to an indoor pool known as the Kimble Fitness Center where folks can join classes or just relax. Meals come prepared with nutritious options for special diets, including vegetarian and Kosher, and everyone can eat in a restaurant-style dining room, or join in community activities, outings, and special events, which run throughout the week.
The Highlands has apartment-style living for both independent and assisted living residents, with features like housekeeping, laundry service, maintenance, linen service, wheelchair accessible showers, and safety features such as medical alert systems, home security, medication dispensers, and guidance from a senior safety guide or medical alert system guide. Residents don't pay extra for transportation because complimentary rides come with the stay, whether it's for errands or getting to community-sponsored activities, and there's even scheduled non-medical transportation.
There are both outdoor spaces and charming courtyards with private seating, so if someone wants fresh air or a quiet spot, it's not hard to find. Religious services happen in the onsite chapel, and the community welcomes people 55 and older. Residents can choose independent or assisted living, and anyone who needs more help can move to skilled nursing or access memory care with staff experts. Care plans fit each person's needs, no matter where they are in their health journey, so families often feel relieved knowing support will keep up as care needs change. The Highlands Assisted Living covers basics like prepared meals (one or two a day), companionship, safety, and health management, but it also gives people choices to stay active, social, and as independent as possible for as long as they want to call it home.
