Review
The Terraces: An Independent Living Senior Community Nestled in a quiet setting, The Terraces stands out as an independent living senior community that offers a unique blend of safety, affordability, and social engagement for its residents. Unlike many larger facilities, The Terraces does not provide assisted living or memory care support; however, families have the option to arrange home care visits for added assistance. Each residential building features thoughtful design elements such as stair chairs and condominiums situated on a single floor, ensuring accessibility for all residents. Additionally, every unit is equipped with floor-level pull cords directly linked to 911, enhancing the safety net for those living within the community. A defining characteristic of The Terraces is its small size and intimate atmosphere. This creates a close-knit environment where residents naturally look out for one another, fostering friendships and camaraderie among neighbors. With an attentive Executive Director at the helm, there is a palpable sense of warmth and dedication toward enhancing the community experience. The Executive Director's commitment to encouraging social interactions is evident in various organized events and activities designed to engage residents more deeply in community life. Dining at The Terraces is both convenient and affordable. Residents are offered one meal per day from Monday through Friday at an impressive price of just $7 per person. While the menu consists of a single main entree accompanied by soup, salad, and dessert—providing generous portions—there are no choices available. This setup seems tailored to meet the needs of the older demographic within the community (approximately 80 years old), who typically partake in these daily meals. Currently, about 25 residents take advantage of this dining option while others enjoy their independence without partaking in communal meals.
