Harmony at Five Forks is a senior living community that gives people choices for independent living, assisted living, and memory care, and there's also support for those who need more, like nursing and rehab services, adult day care, home health care, and even skilled nursing if things change down the road, and you'll see they've designed the place so residents can age in place comfortably without having to move again and again, and while the whole campus is open and welcoming, the security's good too, since access is controlled and there's an emergency response system in place, and you're not going to have to worry because there are nurses on hand and the care staff is there 24/7 to help out or handle medication. Meals come three times a day, there are chef-prepared ones that also meet special diets like low salt or sugar if needed, and snacks are always out, with dining rooms that feel a bit like a restaurant, and if someone can't make it to the main room, they'll work it out. Residents can choose living spaces, too, so you'll find studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments, some with private balconies or patios, and washers and dryers in some units, cable TV, and enough room for comfort, or if someone just wants a simpler studio, that's there as well, and all places come furnished with helpful things like accessibility-friendly bathrooms.
The community has a pet-friendly policy, which means people can keep their pets, and you'll see dogs out in the enclosed courtyard or being walked along outdoor and indoor paths, and there's even space for anyone interested in gardening. Housekeeping, laundry, and even dry cleaning get handled. There's free Wi-Fi everywhere plus computers for those who need them, and you can also pick up a book in the library, join neighbors in a movie room, play some games, or head to the arts and crafts center. There's a beauty salon and barber too right inside and a spa when needed. If you want to get out, the staff arranges outings to stores, restaurants, or parks, and complimentary transportation helps folks get to medical appointments, the local bus line is close, and there's also resident parking on site.
In memory care, Harmony Square stands out as a secure area with trained caregivers specializing in dementia and Alzheimer's, using reminiscence therapy and personalized care plans, and they structure days with cognitive activities and gentle schedules to match each memory care resident's needs. Daily life means activities run by their Life Enrichment Program, offering art classes, yoga, music sessions, social gatherings, educational events, and garden walks-some folks even help take care of the courtyard. There are religious services on site or off, and visiting chaplains and rabbis come regularly, and there's a Wall of Honor for veterans that families can visit.
There's access to on-site nursing, medical services, help with bathing, dressing, and mobility if someone chooses assisted living. The building's easy to get around, and sidewalks and covered patios with brick columns give room for fresh air or a quiet coffee. Residents often gather in the lounges, and there are many places to sit outside with potted plants and the American flag hanging under the entrance. Some want a busier social calendar, and there's always something offered, but if someone wants a quieter space or their own time, there's privacy too because the apartments lock and are easy to make feel homey. Funding usually comes from private sources, and there's no large upfront fee. Many say what's nice is that even as needs grow-like needing more nursing help, therapies on site, or just more help with everyday activities-you don't need to move away from Harmony at Five Forks.
