Clark at Keller Lake

Clark at Keller Lake sits on a peaceful lake and offers many living options like apartments, townhomes, duplexes, and rooms for adults 62 and older, and there's always something for folks who want independent living, assisted living, memory care for dementia, skilled nursing, respite care, and even private care services, and what stands out to many is the strong sense of community that's been growing since 1906 because, even as things have changed, this nonprofit still puts a lot of effort into keeping things simple and supportive; people can keep their pets because it's pet-friendly, and there are lake views, a lakefront deck, walking trails, and courtyards and gardens, along with gardening clubs, cozy households with common rooms, patios, and places for social activities like movie nights and wellness classes, which help people stay active, and you'll find both game rooms and a calendar packed with community-sponsored events to keep residents connected-it's a place where they do what they can to make daily life comfortable even as more needs come along, like 24-hour supervision, on-site nursing, health assessments, medication management, non-ambulatory care, and personalized help with bathing, dressing, and other activities so people keep their independence as long as possible, and if there's ever a time someone's funds run out through no fault of their own, this community tries hard to let them stay. Meals are handled by trained chefs who prepare meals that can be suited for allergies or diabetes, and there's restaurant-style dining in dining rooms or in more casual spaces, so eating together can feel special or low-key, depending on the day. Spiritual services are available too, and visiting doctors come right to the community, along with general counseling and even residential care for children, which isn't as common these days. Safety is always on their minds, so there are emergency alert systems in all the living areas, along with housekeeping and laundry services, home maintenance, and utilities like gas wrapped up in a single monthly fee so things stay simple. Residents can get involved with gardening, join clubs, or just take a stroll on the walking paths that go around the lake and through the gardens, or rest on the patios to watch the seasons pass. Over the years, Clark at Keller Lake's earned recognition as a 2012 Best Retirement Community and received an Innovation Award called the Clark Lip Dub, and it's approved by the Continuing Care Accreditation Commission, so people know it tries to meet good standards for care. With about a 3.9-star rating from 16 reviews, folks find it a dependable choice for those who want both independence and support as their needs change, and since new independent living apartments are always in the works, there are often different ways to settle in depending on what suits someone best, whether that's in a studio, a one-bedroom, or something with more space to spread out, and through all the changes and years gone by, Clark at Keller Lake keeps focusing on making life simpler and more comfortable for the people who call it home.
