Hartland Place Senior Living sits at 444 Merton Ave, right in Hartland near Chenequa, across from the Sendik's shopping center, and folks will notice that it's a single-story, small community with only 32 beds, which helps things stay quiet and personal, and the apartments have wall-to-wall carpeting, window treatments, and kitchen nooks with a refrigerator and microwave, plus each apartment comes with a private bathroom and there's an emergency call system, so families know residents can get help any time of day or night-nurses and caregivers are there 24/7 to make sure people get the care they need, like help with dressing, bathing, medication, or anything else that comes up. The building's wheelchair-friendly, making it easier for everyone to get around, and there's a nice cozy central fireplace where people often gather in the morning, plus a well-kept garden patio with raised planters, a walking path, and an enclosed courtyard for residents to enjoy fresh air safely, even if they want to bring along a dog or a cat, since pets are welcome.
There's a beauty salon and spa/bathtique right on site for haircuts or relaxing, and a wellness office for health needs, while staff members are always described as friendly, helpful, and ready to treat everyone kindly, like family, which shows in how they try to honor each person's daily choices, whether about meals or routines, since the goal is to support independence and individuality as much as possible. Residents get three nutritious meals a day, often with home-cooked touches, plus snacks, and folks say the dining room is a welcoming place to gather. Weekly housekeeping and laundry are included, so residents don't have to worry about chores, and families can request respite care in a furnished studio if a short-term stay is needed.
Hartland Place offers both assisted living and memory care, giving support for conditions like mild cognitive impairment and incontinence, and people who need some nursing care can count on a licensed nurse on-site, not just visiting, and there's medication management along with help scheduling and keeping medical appointments since the community wants everyone to stay healthy and get access to nearby medical care easily. The activities calendar keeps things interesting, too, because there's a full-time activity director who plans arts and music, field trips, spiritual programs, games like cards, and even events that residents themselves run or suggest, so no one feels stuck in a rut; there are also devotional services, both on-site and off, so everyone who's interested can join in.
People often say Hartland Place is clean and well-decorated, with outdoor spaces for relaxation and social time, along with community rooms that host all sorts of educational and entertainment activities, exercise or fitness programs, and holiday events. There's transportation for group outings and appointments, plus easy walking paths and spaces for just taking a break outside, and families can feel comfortable because the emergency call system and security systems in the apartments add peace of mind. The starting price is about $3,000 a month, though that changes depending on the room and care level, and all services-whether it's memory or assisted living, independent living, respite, or nursing care-aim to make life as easy, safe, and fulfilling as possible. Hartland Place holds a community score of 8.3, and the 3.5-star rating from reviews tends to reflect that people find the caregivers accommodating and the atmosphere inviting. The staff puts a lot of effort into making sure residents can make their own choices and stay as active or as relaxed as they want, in a small, supportive, home-like setting that's designed for convenience and ease.
