Arbors Senior Apartments sits about seven miles from downtown Richmond, near Bon Air, making it close to many things people need or enjoy, like shopping, medical offices, cultural activities, churches, and two large hospitals, and there's a public transportation stop right in front, so residents can get around more easily if they don't want to drive, though there are carports and plenty of parking, including protected covered spaces for those who do. The community is for people aged 55 and over-though some places and activities are just for those 62 and up-and it offers a range of living choices with studios, one, two, and even larger floor plans, all in roomy apartments with open layouts, big living rooms, balconies or patios, and bathrooms ranging from one to five or more, which might feel like a good stretch compared to some places, and the kitchens have brand new, energy-saving appliances, oak cabinets, and neutral floors, so everything's clean and ready for daily use. Cats and dogs are allowed, and there's pet-friendly space outside too, as well as landscaped grounds with a gazebo, wide lawns, and places to walk or sit, which lets residents enjoy the fresh air or just visit with friends under the trees; you'll also find a library, a game room with plenty of light, a fitness room with a treadmill and weights, and a cozy dining area for sharing meals.
People can keep extra things in the free resident storage areas, and there are washers and dryers on-site in case someone doesn't feel like hauling laundry elsewhere, and each apartment building has a welcoming entrance, sometimes with covered porticos and decorated with American flags, which feels pretty homey. Residents can use an online portal to log in and manage their accounts, and there are staff on-site who manage things and work to create an active, friendly atmosphere, organizing card games and casual gatherings, and making it easy to relax or stay busy, depending on the day. The community, managed by ArtCraft Management, offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, nursing, and rehabilitation services, along with adult day care, though exact details about services and amenities vary and should be checked for more specifics. There's a policy to give housing opportunities to everyone who meets the screening rules, no matter how they pay, which means more people can call Arbors home if they meet the basic requirements. Located at 7608 Forest Hill Ave, the apartments have light-colored buildings and big windows, and photos and up-to-date unit info are available for those wanting a closer look at what the community offers seniors near Richmond.
