The community has 52 smoke-free units with modern, clean spaces, available as one or two bedrooms, and most come with walk-in showers, private decks or patios for scenic views, and apartments have in-unit washers and dryers, central air and heat, and full kitchens with oak cabinets, newer appliances, and comfortable layouts for easy living.

People living at Hartland Meadows often talk about the friendly staff, some of whom own and run the place, including Byron and Nancy Didenko, and other owners live right alongside the residents, so you get help if you need it, a quick fix if something breaks, and real attention when you've got concerns, plus cleaning staff that you can request when you want a bit of extra help. There's a real sense of connection among folks living here, with scheduled parties, welcome events for newcomers, card games, bingo, outings, devotional services onsite, and holiday gatherings, whether in the elegant dining room with its fireplace and cable TV or during field trips around town planned by the full-time activity directors.
Amenities include a beauty salon, a cozy TV room, fitness center with cable TV, business center with computers, fax, lessons, and free Wi-Fi, and a country store where things are sold at or near wholesale, so you can pick up basics without going far or overspending. The puzzle room, game space, and library overlook the residential area, and elevators make every floor easy to reach for everyone.

Hartland Meadows welcomes independent, active seniors who want to stay social and engaged, but there's also a memory care option and assisted living services available, so if you need a little more support as time goes on, you don't need to move out to get it.
