Chartiers Bend Retirement Resort offers a quiet, comfortable place for adults aged 55 and older who want to keep their independence but have a range of care options if they need them, and the community sits on 600 acres of beautiful parkland with tall trees and walking paths, so the air feels fresh and there's always a nice spot to sit outside, maybe in the gardens or under the gazebo, with neighbors or family. Inside, there are three-story buildings with big common areas, a 150-seat theater, lounge with a bar, library, billiards and arcade rooms, a fitness area, spa, beauty salon, community room, and even a business center, so most days there's something going on or a quiet place to read. The apartments feel roomy, with studios, one, two, or even three bedrooms, lots of closet space, kitchens with full-sized appliances, washer and dryer hook-ups, patios or balconies in some units, window coverings, ceiling fans, individual climate controls, and cable TV and Wi-Fi already set up, and some are semi-private or single rooms for people who prefer more privacy.
Meals are an important part of life here, and Chartiers Bend has what's called the Signature Freedom Dining program, which means residents get three chef-prepared meals each day with flexible meal times, lots of choice, and a chef's pantry for snacks, plus a meal delivery service if folks want to eat in their rooms, and people always say the food is excellent and the dining room feels like a restaurant without being stiff or fancy. The community welcomes pets-there's no extra fee for them-because many people don't want to move without their dogs or cats, and there's plenty of space outside to walk them.
Social activities fill up the calendar, like happy hours, fitness and health classes, movie nights, educational talks, gardening, trips into town, devotional services both on site and off, and a full-time Activities Director plans new things every month, so it's easy to make friends and stay busy or just do a few things if that's more comfortable. Assisted living services are there for those who need help with daily things, and there's a memory care area built for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, with routines and safe spaces that help prevent wandering and confusion. Staff members are attentive, managers live on-site and know everyone by name, and the place always looks clean and smells good, with weekly housekeeping and laundry services, plus a 24/7 emergency alert system, round-the-clock concierge, and all maintenance taken care of.
The community stays licensed and gets high remarks for its care, even getting awards like Best of Senior Living, and there are scheduled tours with lunch for anyone considering a move. Residents also enjoy the RLC Travel Program, letting them stay for free at sister communities in other cities, and all rent and utilities are wrapped into one, clear bill each month, with no extra fees hiding anywhere. People move here for the maintenance-free lifestyle, friendly neighbors, and resort-style surroundings, knowing they'll get help if they ever need it but can stay as independent as possible in a comfortable, safe place designed with seniors' needs in mind.
