Spring House Estates Acts CCRC (8/10/2022)

Wednesday, August 10, 2022 (continued)
Tonight we stayed at the Acts retirement community of Spring House Estates that has a 58-acre campus. It is also a gated community with about 275 independent living apartments, 52 assisted living units, and a 96-bed skilled nursing facility.
Spring House Estates main entrance
Most of the residences seemed to be in two-story buildings;
note the updated look of the balcony railings
The lobby was really large ...
... and included a fireside lounge
Veterans Memorial
The mailroom was across the hall from ...
... the cubbies room
A peek at the Memorial Garden and
the SS Nicholas (the playground!)
A small fitness center; Spring House does not have
a swimming pool, so the residents are bussed to
Normandy Farms Estates (another Acts community that is
5.3 miles/15 minutes away) for a pool and fitness center
A typical and somewhat narrow hallway in independent living
Aha! the balconies in the rear have the
older metal railings
Storage cages
Laundry room on each floor
The multiple buildings are connected by second floor walkways
Dedicated jigsaw puzzle corner
Auditorium
Library
A different model of low-vision reader
