There are many retirement communities to choose from when the time is right. Many boast fabulous food, wonderful people and confident independence, but Arbor Ridge at Stanleyville goes far beyond all that. It not only gives residents independence and comfort, it gives them joys of life they could not experience anywhere else.

“Arbor Ridge at Stanleyville is an independent retirement living community,” said Deb Mitchell. “We are located on 12 beautiful acres with an apple orchard, grape arbors, huge trees and resident deer we see at dawn and dusk – we try to keep them out of the garden! Our residents enjoy their own, pet-friendly apartments including studio, one and two bedroom apartments that are rented on a monthly basis with no buy-in. What sets us apart is that we have the ability to customize any home care services they may need for a short-term setback or on an on-going basis. We also have our own in-house home care agency here 24/7.”

What really distinguishes Arbor Ridge is their dedication to social events and activities. “There are activities each day in which the resident can choose to participate,” said Mitchell. “Special events give us the opportunity to be good neighbors. We open our doors to friends, families and the general public to ‘Good Neighbor Events’ at least four times a year. This serves two purposes; it gives our residents a feeling of belonging to something bigger than this building, and gives us the opportunity to educate the public about different retirement options and alternatives, to dispel some of the notions people have about retirement living. Retirement living can be affordable, comfortable and gracious living without the stress of home maintenance, housekeeping, and cooking, but at the same time, residents can enjoy activities, hobbies, a social life and independence.”
