Orchard Path is a senior living community on Cobblestone Lake, where many folks find a friendly, warm atmosphere because the staff are known for being helpful, joyful, and kind, making the place feel welcoming every day, and there's a good community spirit with people coming together in the shared spaces, like the club lounge, the community room, or out on the outdoor patio when the weather's nice. The apartments give seniors plenty of choices, with 175 independent living apartments if someone's still pretty active and healthy and wants maintenance-free living, and there's also 58 assisted living apartments for those needing more help with daily activities, and there are 20 memory care apartments set up with extra security for people living with dementia or Alzheimer's disease, and everyone gets a personalized care plan if they need assistance. The kitchen focuses on nutritious meals, serving three meals a day in a restaurant-style setting, and there's a bistro for quicker bites and a continental breakfast to choose from, all meant to support health and well-being. When it comes to staying busy or getting some exercise, the place has a fitness center, wellness center, and hosts instructor-led wellness classes, plus activities for socializing like bingo, cards, and movie nights in the movie theater, and if you're drawn to spiritual connections, there's a chapel, Bible studies, hymn sings, and on-site devotional activities led by a full-time pastor.
Housekeeping and maintenance are taken care of, and laundry facilities are in the apartments with full-size washer and dryer, so chores are easier, and if you need guest suites for visitors, that's available too. Folks can stay connected with internet access and basic cable TV included, and they can use the community bus for errands and outings. Pets are allowed with some guidelines, so people don't have to leave furry companions behind. For personal grooming, there's a beauty salon and barber shop. The building has underground parking, secure garage and bike storage, a car wash bay, even a market right inside, which is handy for daily needs. The library and media room, the wood shop, the lounge areas, and private balconies in some independent living apartments give more spaces for hobbies, reading, or relaxing.
Health services at Orchard Path go beyond the basics because they include memory care, nursing home care, hospice support for end-of-life needs, rehabilitative care like physical, occupational, and speech therapy, home health and transitional care options too for folks recovering from illness or surgery. There's both home care and companionship services available for seniors still living in their own homes, and care programs that address specific health needs are set up with help from compassionate aides.
Orchard Path tries to make life easier for seniors, offering scheduled transportation for appointments and grocery trips, service and activity programming to encourage connection and recreation, and unique features such as outdoor walking and biking paths along the lake for fresh air and exercise. The facility is smoke-free and the rooms aren't loaded down with frills, aiming instead for comfortable, accessible living. With expansion projects, they're adding 75 more independent-living apartments because, most of the time, the community runs at nearly full occupancy. The whole place is run by Presbyterian Homes & Services, which brings long experience to support older adults in a safe, supportive environment that covers everything from social programs to medical care as people's needs change.
