The Residence at Fitz Farm sits in the historic White Rose City area, and you'll find it's a mid-rise community built right where local history runs deep, so folks say the design and some features pay respect to the area's roots, which is a nice touch, especially if you've got an interest in local heritage, and it opened its doors in 2023. There are different living options here, ranging from independent living for those who don't need much help, to assisted living for people who need more daily support, as well as memory care for seniors living with Alzheimer's or other dementia-related conditions. The place also accepts people needing short-term stays and those recovering or in need of therapy, since you'll find on-site services for physical, speech, and occupational therapy, plus specialized support for people with physical disabilities or those needing nursing and medication help.
Room sizes vary from 329 to 490 square feet, and you can pick from studio or one-bedroom apartments that come with modern safety features, and there's a feeling of openness since the building isn't too tall. Meals are prepared by chefs with plenty of dining choices to fit personal preferences or dietary needs, and you'll often see residents enjoying restaurant-style service but still getting meals tailored to what they like. People gather in public lounges, use the library or chapel, and spend time on the porches or terraces when the weather's nice, and there's outdoor walking paths if you still like to get outside for fresh air or a simple stroll. A beauty salon, fitness center, game and card rooms, a theater with hearing-aid compatible audio, and therapy facilities round out the list of amenities, and the place offers transportation for those who need a ride to appointments or outings.
Staff encourages connection, purpose, and happiness, and there's a calendar full of activities-social, religious, exercise, mental, and recreational-so you'll often see group gatherings or neighbors chatting in the halls. People often say the staff members are friendly and helpful, and the overall feeling is one where residents are supported in day-to-day life but can stay as independent as their abilities allow. Safety technology is in place, and everything's set up for comfort and convenience, all the while giving folks the room to celebrate their own histories or form new bonds with their neighbors.
