Independence Village of Oxford (Waterstone) is a community for seniors aged 55 and over in Hadley, Michigan, where folks find apartments and homes for independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, home care, and respite care, and they call it a continuing care retirement community since they offer different levels of help all in one place, so someone can stay there even if their needs change along the way. Staff are friendly, well-trained, and around to help out, and people who live here go on outings, play bridge, watch movies, do manicures and mimosas, and join in themed parties, game nights, and presentations, which help them stay busy and connected without ever feeling alone. They serve three daily meals in a restaurant-style dining room, and the kitchen uses fresh, local ingredients, with the head chef listening to what residents like and adjusting menus, and there're always vegetarian options as well as both comfort foods and some more creative dishes, so eating is both easy and enjoyable.
People who want to bring their pets can, thanks to pet-friendly policies, and with housekeeping, help with chores, free transportation for errands and doctor trips, and social programs each week, there's less to worry about and more time to relax. The campus includes the Eagles Nest & Library for quiet or reading time, a fitness center, main lobby with a welcoming feel, community clubs, and both indoor and outdoor spaces where people gather, plus Wi-Fi, open-concept floor plans, a beauty salon and barbershop, and plenty of places for devotional services on- or off-site. Folks who need an extra hand can get enhanced living services, or custom non-medical care in their apartment for more independence without the pressure to leave home, and if memory care's needed, there're secure areas and trained staff who know how to help those with Alzheimer's or other dementia feel safe and less confused, with routines that cut down on wandering and stress.
Independence Village of Oxford (Waterstone), part of the StoryPoint Group, holds awards for its friendly staff and good activities, and the community sees good reviews from families and residents who value the caring attitude and quality of life there. People can join in fitness classes, grocery trips, crafts or presentations, and enjoy events planned around what residents actually like to do, and with lakes, nature trails, biking, boating, and an impressive 27-hole golf course close by, there are also outdoor activities for those who're interested. As a place, it feels warm and safe with a strong focus on both happiness and health, so residents can keep living life their own way, but with some backup when it's needed.
