LARC at Olympia sits over on Forestbrooke Way SW as a newer community built in 2016 for folks aged 62 and up, and you'll find 141 apartments here, all designed with aging in mind so the elevators, wide hallways, and easy entry make it simple to get around, and the floors are that plank-style you can sweep up real easy, which makes daily life just a bit less work for everyone. The apartments, which come in both one bedroom and two bedroom types, have kitchens with custom cabinets, dishwashers, refrigerators, and microwaves, so cooking feels like home, and the private patios or balconies let residents enjoy some fresh air whenever they want. Every unit comes with its own washer and dryer, and there's plenty of closet space with those walk-ins, which can help folks keep organized without clutter. Pets are welcome too, so longtime companions can stay by your side.
The property offers plenty of common areas, with a big fireplace lounge, community garden if you want to grow vegetables or flowers, a fitness center open around the clock, and game rooms like billiards and crafts so everyone can find something they like, plus grilling stations and a covered courtyard, which are nice spots to just sit with others or catch up outside when the weather's good. There's free Wi-Fi in the clubhouse, and a latte coffee station for those who want something a little extra, along with weekly brunches that get folks together. Walking trails run nearby for those who enjoy a bit of time in nature, and outings to places like the boardwalk or the mall are part of the community's regular programming.
Residents can take part in scheduled activities every day, with programs focused on recreation, leisure, learning, and sometimes a bit of adventure, making it easy to make friends or just pass the time with good company. There's always staff around round-the-clock for assistance, whether that means help with medication, housekeeping, transportation, laundry, or even more hands-on care as needs change, supporting folks who want to age in place instead of moving somewhere new. Meal times take place in the dining room, where a professional chef leads the kitchen and offers options for people with special diets.
LARC at Olympia also provides details about rental rates and occupancy, keeping information clear for those looking for a unit, with different floor plans to choose from, starting from around 535 to 775 square feet. The place is managed by a team that looks after the upkeep indoors and out, and some units-like ones labeled 314D, 312D, 210D, 208D, and 112D-are marked for easy reference. Ownership records and reports about the property's history, utilities, and sales are available for those who like to know the details about where they live. All in all, LARC at Olympia keeps life simple, social, and active if that's what you want, but also lets people find quiet space when they'd rather have it, making it a community that aims to balance leisure, safety, connection, and support for seniors in Olympia.
