Clubs & Amenities
What is the difference between independent living, assisted living and nursing care?

Independent Living is designed for those who can live safely without any assistance or supervision. The services and amenities provided are primarily for convenience and lifestyle benefits.

Assisted Living is designed for individuals who need regular support with daily activities such as medication management or dressing, but do not need nursing care on a daily basis. Assistance can be provided with activities such as meals, laundry, bathing, dressing and medication reminders.

Skilled Nursing Care provides the necessary care for those who need a nurse or certified nursing assistant on a daily basis. Individuals might have chronic conditions that require a skilled caregiver in our Health Center or may need short-term treatment and therapy services in our Rehabilitation Center.

Who is eligible for residency in the Chateau?

Any person who has attained age 60, is in reasonably good health (being capable of independent living at the time of occupancy) and who has sufficient resources to meet the initial financial requirements of The Chateau is acceptable for residency.

In the case of spouses and/ or domestic partners, only one needs to have reached age 60.

What is a CCRC?

Continuing Care refers to the fact that, in addition to independent living, all levels of care are available to residents on the same campus. This includes assisted living, skilled nursing care and specialized senior rehabilitation and therapy services.

What if there is a medical emergency?

Help may be summoned to apartments or homes at any hour of the day or night by use of a notification system located in the bathrooms and/ or via phone. This notification system directly alerts our on-site 24/7 nursing staff. Arrangements can also be made for daily checks by staff to ensure that residents are up and moving safely about their home.

Do I still pay property taxes?

No. The Chateau residents do not own the Estate homes or apartments in any lifestyle level and will not have to pay property taxes.

Retirement closes one chapter of your life and opens another. It can be a wonderful time for couples to reconnect, strengthen bonds, and explore new opportunities, but adapting to a totally new lifestyle can also bring unexpected challenges.

Strengthening your relationship in retirement isn’t all that different from any other time in your life: Embracing change, fostering communication, and nurturing your love are the key goals. Let’s take a look at a few ideas for achieving that.

5 Signs that You’re Ready for a Simplified Lifestyle

Aging creeps up on us. One minute you’re young and hip—and the next you’re in bed by 8 pm. Because life comes at you pretty fast, it can be difficult to know when it’s the right time for a big change like moving to a senior living community.

But if you catch yourself daydreaming about a simpler lifestyle, it might be time to take stock and consider your retirement wants and goals.

‘Tis the Season: A Guide to Choosing a Gift for the Retiree in Your Life

It’s the holiday season, and for many of us, that means gift-giving. But sometimes, finding the perfect gift for an older person can be a little challenging.

Often, older adults are more interested in downsizing and getting rid of items than they are in bringing new stuff in. Or, after a lifetime of accumulating treasures, they may not have many material wants! So what do you get for the retiree who has everything (or doesn’t want anything)?

We have a few ideas!
