The Timbers of Shorewood has independent living and assisted living options in a rental retirement community with a focus on giving seniors a mix of privacy, comfort, and safety, so people can find both support and freedom however their needs change over time, and you'll see apartments that come with full kitchens, wall-to-wall carpeting, laundry in-unit, and views of the gardens or walking paths, and you know the building is secure with real emergency response features, controlled access, and round-the-clock staff like CNAs and caregivers who help with things like mobility, bathing, and medication reminders. There are studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom floor plans, and residents can bring small pets if they take care of them, and visiting pets are allowed, too. Meals are provided in a restaurant-style dining room with dishes made by trained staff, covering a range of entrees and including vegetarian options, and people can join healthy cooking classes if they want. The campus has a Wellness Center for health care and therapy like physical or occupational therapy, and staff also help with hospice, palliative care, and respite options for those needing short stays. Residents can use housekeeping, laundry, transportation, and maintenance services to keep life simple, and there's a general store, coffee shop, beautician, piano lounge, plus lots of communal and outdoor spaces for socializing, gardening, or just relaxing on the patios.
Activities keep life social, from art and exercise classes like yoga or Tai Chi, to holiday parties, bridge, performing arts, game nights, and events for different ages, like the Senior Prom and Hippity-Hop Easter Egg Hunt, and some staff focus on technology help, so people stay connected. There are support groups for caregivers, and the campus has features for people with dementia, making the environment friendly for memory care. Residents can take trips off-campus and join religious or spiritual services in groups, and season-by-season, the place celebrates holidays and special occasions with the larger community. All areas have Wi-Fi and cable, and safety comes first with controlled access and medical alert systems. The grounds are large and nicely landscaped, with room for walking and spending time outdoors, and apartments stay well maintained over time. The community takes private pay, long-term care insurance, and Veterans Aid benefits, but it doesn't take Medicaid. People who want to see more can look at photo or video tours online, and anyone interested in what goes on day to day will find information about meals, social activities, and ways residents stay independent, active, and supported as their needs change.
