Porches at Arbor Creek

Porches at Arbor Creek sits over in Edmond and was built in 2012, and the place gives off a cozy, Craftsman bungalow feel, with large covered porches and open floor plans that remind some folks of homes from earlier times, only with new touches that bring them up to date for today's needs, and you'll notice the concrete fiber-board siding, blown-in insulation, Low E vinyl windows, and the Energy Star certification that make the homes energy efficient and easier to manage; the homes range from about 1,428 to 2,600 square feet and start in the 190s, and each place usually has two garage spaces, a covered patio, carpet, tile, and wood floors, and there's often a gas log fireplace and four bedrooms with three full bathrooms, plus kitchens with things like dishwashers, disposals, grills, ice makers, and microwaves. People living at Porches at Arbor Creek get all sorts of help, like assistance with daily activities, medication management, and personal care, and there are personalized care plans for both supportive care and memory care needs, as well as short-term respite care if primary caregivers need a break; health care services include a 24-hour call system, supervision, assistance with bathing and dressing, plus non-ambulatory care too. The community tries to keep things homelike and independent, and there's a professional chef serving up meals in a dining room set up for restaurant-style and all-day dining, even making special diet or allergy-sensitive dishes as needed, and residents can relax or socialize in the clubhouse, which has a large great room and entertainment kitchen, and there's a fitness room, a yoga and aerobics studio, and a club patio for outdoor visits. Amenities reach into every corner, really, so people find a library, activity and game rooms, arts room, sauna, spa, and support for events like movie nights, music programs, outdoor activities, and classes to help folks stay active or just try something new, and the place keeps up the grounds and offers maintenance-free living through the homeowners' association, which carries an annual fee of $495, and covers things like landscaping and regular area upkeep. Utilities like cable, electricity, high-speed internet, air conditioning, kitchenettes, Wi-Fi, cable TV, and telephone connections are all available, and there are also options for housekeeping, laundry, dry cleaning, concierge, move-in help, and support for families, and most homes have private bathrooms and some come furnished. Everything's arranged to let people keep their independence as long as possible, but staff are available around the clock if extra hands are ever needed, and there's always a place to sit on the porch or join in with the community, no matter the time of day.
