Normandie Ridge sits on lovely grounds in the Shiloh neighborhood of York, PA, where neighbors and staff create a real sense of community, and folks can see both dogs and cats being walked since the place is pet-friendly, though policies for pets do seem a little vague. The place offers a range of living choices, including independent senior apartments, studio units, single rooms, two-bedroom apartments, and garden cottages, so someone who likes privacy or wants more space can find something that fits. People who move in can age in place thanks to a range of health care services right on campus, from personal care and skilled nursing to memory care and short-term rehab, with a dedicated 24-bed wing for dementia or Alzheimer's.
The staff at Normandie Ridge are known for their dedication and provide help with daily needs like bathing and medication, with full-time, certified staff and even a brain health coach working on overall wellness, including the Kinnections Brain Health program that tries to keep minds sharp. Respite care gives families a break, and a continuum of health options means nobody has to move when care needs change, which puts some folks at ease.
The place handles all maintenance and housekeeping in the monthly fee, so residents don't have to think about mowing lawns or fixing faucets, and there's help with things like laundry and dry cleaning. People eat meals prepared for good nutrition, but they can also cook in their own full-size kitchens or kitchenettes if they'd rather, and the community offers a full dining room, a cafe, and even a spot for special catering.
To keep busy, Normandie Ridge has activities run by both staff and residents, from woodworking in the shop to fitness classes in the gym and heated indoor pool, and there's a Happy Trails Nature Park with paths where folks can walk alone, with friends, or with pets. There's no shortage of places to sit outside either, with patios and gardens to relax in, and inside there's a library, community center, and spots for games or crafts. Services cover everything from transportation-both community-run and arrangement help-to on-site banking, massage therapy, and on-site barbers and hairstylists. The property has a wellness focus that reaches beyond the physical, with attention to emotional, social, spiritual, and even vocational needs, and regular visits from occupational and physical therapists help folks stay independent as long as possible.
Normandie Ridge offers different Entrance Fee Plans and will help people plan finances, and has been serving seniors in the area for more than 20 years, so it's a familiar name in York. The rental info and fee details aren't spelled out, but the place keeps up a full list of amenities, and the trained staff handle everything from diabetes care to specialized dementia services. Whether someone enjoys organized fitness or wants to simply walk the trails with a pet, have a meal with neighbors, or needs higher levels of care, Normandie Ridge tries to cover almost every stage of senior living, all on one campus, so moving again isn't something people have to worry about.
