Heron's Key is a Life Plan Community, sometimes called a Continuing Care Retirement Community or CCRC, that offers several levels of care all in one place, so you'll find independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, and memory care right on the same campus, and there are apartments and cottages in many floor plans so people can pick what feels comfortable. There's a focus on making things easier for residents, and the community takes care of housekeeping, building and grounds maintenance, and even has washers and dryers right in each residence, which is a nice touch for folks who like their own space. The community uses a resident-first approach, so people have a say in social activities and programming through committees, and the staff is trained to be attentive and professional, working to meet everyone's needs whether that's help with daily activities in assisted living or more medical care through skilled nursing at Penrose Harbor, which has all-private suites with private baths, on the campus. Memory care is available for those who need extra support, and the area is secure with exit alerts and outdoor spaces so residents can stay safe but still get outside.
For those who want to stay busy or active, there are walking trails, a fitness center, workshops, wellness programs, organized exercise like Tai Chi and weight lifting, and cultural, social, and educational events, sometimes led by residents themselves. The on-site dining program stands out because meals are prepared by a professional chef and feature options like vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, organic, and international cuisine, and there's restaurant-style dining along with a private dining room for special gatherings, plus room service for times when people want to eat in their own residences. The location puts residents close to local dining and shopping, and there's scheduled transportation for doctor visits, errands, and events. The grounds and apartments are beautiful and well planned, with air conditioning, wheelchair-accessible rooms, and designated parking spaces. The health clinic and other on-site healthcare services include skilled nursing, rehabilitation, assisted living, memory support, and health services like medication management, diabetic care, and incontinence care, aiming to provide everything someone might need as they age. Heron's Key gives people a full range of retirement living options under predictable costs, offers all the conveniences to support an active, connected life, and takes pride in an engaging and friendly community among neighbors.
