Aging in Place in HW: Senior Living Options for Every Need

Residential Options

For the independent 55+ seniors, Del Webb Oasis is located right next to the area’s most magical attractions, while situated in the heart of the nearby village of Flamingo Crossings. They offer single family or villa homes with resort style amenities, activities, a community center, two lounges, plus clubs and social events. It’s the perfect place to retire in place and be near the grandkids for those special day trips to the parks.

Overture Hamlin offers maintenance free 55+ living in gorgeously appointed apartment homes with resort-inspired amenities. They promote a true feeling of social connection and a carefully crafted calendar of activities that are fun, enriching and meaningful. Social hours and entertainment, daily events, fitness and creative arts classes, resident driven community clubs, movies and lectures in their onsite theater are just some of the unique ways they cater to the active adult lifestyle.

If more structured care is needed for your aging loved ones, several assisted living facilities are located within the confines of Horizon West. Sonata Assisted Living and Memory Care Windermere is snuggled on Lake Speer near Summerport in the Village of Bridgewater. They offer studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments with worry-free retirement living and access to luxury amenities, wellness services and daily life enrichment programming designed for healthy aging. Sonata Senior Living’s signature Live it Up program is woven through every fiber of their vibrant lifestyle and approach to service and care. The programming nurtures the seven dimensions of wellness as identified by the International Council on Active Aging and integrates various aspects of well-being to ensure that every resident enjoys a vibrant, fulfilling lifestyle that caters to their emotional, physical, and social health.

Another amazing offering is The Blake at Hamlin - Assisted Living and Memory Care. Like nearby Sonata, The Blake’s care philosophy puts a high priority on hospitality and personal attention – for both residents and family. That person-centric approach is intentional, and it’s part of what separates The Blake from your run-of-the-mill assisted living community. Chef-curated cuisine, social events like their 'Taste of the Blake' dining event, structured outings and other social activities keep the spirits high and the living good.

The Blake's Director of Sales Melissa Bossart gives us a picture of the active community that lives within its walls. She explained, 75% of their residents come directly from home, having planned their retirement. Of that number, 50% are moving in to be closer to family in Horizon West, the farthest west from Arizona, the farthest north from Maine. This shows just how important aging in place is to the family dynamic!
