Eden at Crestview to offer flexible staying options

CRESTVIEW — Eden at Crestview, an assisted living and memory care community, is still on track to accept new residents at the beginning of 2019.

Eden is taking reservations. Executive Director Alan Woods has cautionary words for those waiting to decide.

"Choose now or choose what’s left over later," he said.

This is not to say any of the rooms are not stellar, only that an incoming resident may prefer one of the elegantly-appointed studio or one-bedroom apartments closer to the Eden Bistro & Bar or the full-service salon.

Eden offers three options to choose from for staying: standard assisted living, respite and short-term care.

Amenities with standard assisted living residency include routine personal care, medication management, routine health monitoring, nutritional support, utilities and basic cable television, and exercise programs. Different levels of care plans include certain amenities. Call for details.

Respite, or day stays, are for seniors whose families travel out of town or as a way to try out Eden before making a long-term commitment. Day stay visitors can take advantage of socialization and daily activities.

For seniors needing temporary care, whether for a week or up to a month, Eden at Crestview offers all the same services and amenities that permanent residents enjoy.

For seniors apprehensive about the assisted living lifestyle, they should know they can enjoy landscaped grounds without the mowing, gardens without the weeding and dining without the dishes.

Whether staying temporarily or permanently, Eden at Crestview offers a maintenance-free, care-free life. Even the payment structure is easy with the month-to-month resident agreement. Residents need only give a 30-day notice before leaving.

Do you have questions about Eden you'd like to ask someone directly? Woods will hold monthly community updates once a month at Samuel's Steakhouse, 114 John King Road in Crestview. The first will be at 5 p.m. June 28. Call 417-0103 or email alan@livingateden.com to RSVP.
