Chesapeake is a senior living community located at 29600 Lyons Drive in Easton, Maryland, where folks have the choice between furnished or unfurnished rooms with modern features like Wi-Fi, cable TV, and private bathrooms, and there's a 24-hour call system along with supervision for those needing help with bathing, dressing, or medication, which seems important for peace of mind. The place feels pretty lively with clubs, a resident directory, and activities like movie nights, art classes in the arts room, or just quiet time in the library or walking around the gardens and paths. For something a little different, they've got game rooms, a clubhouse called the Chesapeake Community Clubhouse, fitness center, golf putting green, and even a couple of private, members-only tennis courts with lights for evening games and tennis programs, including tournaments and special events for folks over 50, but there's no pro shop on site, though they do offer tennis and pickleball gear anyway.
Their dining room serves food all day, and there's a restaurant-style dining experience with options for people who have special diets or allergies, including meals made by a professional chef, and meal service covers pretty much everything needed, with kitchen staff able to prepare special diets like diabetes-friendly meals, which many people find useful. Housekeeping comes around, laundry and even dry cleaning gets sorted for you, and there's move-in help to get settled, along with regular transportation and parking arrangements. They offer community-sponsored activities, a movie theater, a photo gallery, and group outings to add some fun, and you'll find a message board and news updates like the ECE Calendar and health announcements.
Chesapeake works with healthcare providers to help with daily activities, offers medication management, keeps a watchful eye through their emergency alert system, and has wheelchair access throughout. The facility provides both assisted living and nursing home programs, ensuring varying levels of care for those who need extra support, and there are plenty of local area resources, from nearby hospitals to lists of service providers for residents. The staff helps with discussions about estate planning, property management, and has information about Maryland's estate and inheritance tax rules, which can help those planning ahead. There are lifelong learning programs where people can take up things like culinary arts, learn about paramedicine, or get into music, and cultural events are big, especially those tied to Frederick Douglass, with book signings, discussions, exhibitions, and partnerships with places like the Talbot Historical Society and the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum.
People interested in the more active side of life can get involved with scheduled outdoor adventures, fitness programs, and clubs, and there's always something happening with community events at places like the Van Lennep Auditorium or the Talbot County Senior Center nearby. Chesapeake, also associated with Chesapeake by del Webb, offers a range of single-family, detached resale homes, has a flexible management structure with a Community Manager and Lifestyle Director, and publishes governing documents and floor plans in an online document library. The whole place seems focused on giving residents a secure, involved, and comfortable environment where you can keep busy, learn new things, and stay connected to the community inside and out.
