Lake Forest at Swift Creek opens in Fall 2024 with all new facilities in the Harbour Pointe neighborhood, right beside the Swift Creek Reservoir. This is a community for people age 55 and older who want simple, all-inclusive living without a lot of extras. The place is part of Steelhead Management communities and does a good job welcoming seniors who want to stay busy and social. Apartments come in one or two bedrooms, some with dens, and have modern touches like full-size washers and dryers, walk-in closets, granite countertops, stainless appliances, and climate control, with some units featuring private balconies and ADA accessibility. Pets are welcome, and there's a paw spa and a bark park.
Lake Forest has features that make day-to-day life easier, like elevators, wheelchair ramps, wide halls, reserved parking, plus EV charging stations for those who need them. Residents have high-speed internet options set up for seniors and can get cell phones like Jitterbug or Consumer Cellular. The community's Wi-Fi and cable, along with utilities like water, electric, and HVAC, get bundled in one bill, which adds convenience.
Security and safety get attention, with emergency alert buttons in the halls, walk-in tubs, secured building access, and home security features. There are also guides and reviews for medical alert systems such as Bay Alarm Medical, Medical Guardian, and ADT Medical Alert, and medication dispensers for folks who need reminders. Memory care and companion care services are available for those who need extra support, but there isn't on-site medical care. Instead, they connect residents to home care, caregiver support, and transportation services.
For those who like to stay active, there's a heated swimming pool with a tanning deck, a yoga studio with a sauna, a fitness center, and nature trails with a community garden. The courtyard and outdoor lounge offer spaces to relax, and shuffleboard can keep minds busy. The property includes a movie theatre, an arts and crafts studio, and a library with a coffee bistro. Residents can use the private dining room, or join social events led by a dedicated program director. Housekeeping, cooking classes, and valet trash are part of the services, and each new apartment even comes with a free 65-inch Samsung TV.
Lake Forest offers different housing types, from independent and assisted living apartments to condos and townhomes for seniors. Memory care features help keep residents with dementia safe. Apartments get reserved using a scheduled in-person or virtual tour, and those who lease fast can get reservation fee waivers and one month rent-free upfront. Professional on-site management and 24-hour maintenance mean help is close if something goes wrong. The community aims to let seniors stay independent as long as possible, with a relaxed, active atmosphere surrounded by nature and friendly staff.
