Ovation East is poised to redefine senior living with its recent grand opening. This state-of-the-art, modern senior living community has been meticulously designed to cater to the needs of its residents, offering an upscale living experience that emphasizes independence and active lifestyles. As the doors open for Phase 1, with Phase 2 planned for the fall, this milestone marks the beginning of a new chapter for future residents.
“We are excited to finally open the doors at Ovation East, our vibrant senior living community,” said Amy Humpal, community relations manager at Ovation Heartwood Preserve. “The many future residents that have chosen to move here is what makes this place so special. They are all wonderful people that are here for the same reason — socialization and the continuation of active, engaged, adventurous lives among like-minded peers.”
But the new community also demonstrates that, far from giving up one’s independence when moving there, Ovation’s independent living community is so engaging that it enhances seniors’ abilities to live life to the fullest, on their terms and at their speed.
High-end amenities set the stage for living well at Ovation Heartwood Preserve. Independent living floor plan options include modern studio and one- and two-bedroom apartments, all of which feature upscale amenities and state-of-the-art technology. Residents have access to housekeeping, first-class concierge services and fine dining usually found in the best hotels and resorts.
All accommodations are fully equipped with stainless-steel smart appliances and smart lighting, basic satellite and wireless internet. Other highlights include a movie theater, a goods and supplies convenience store, free transportation services and assistance with arranging health care services or appointments.
Remaining independent in later years has a lot to do with staying physically active and socially engaged. “Resort-style living offers so much for an active lifestyle, including a pub-style billiards room with a golf simulator suite, indoor warm-water pool, multiple culinary options to choose from and many activity programs throughout the week,” Humpal said.
Residents of Ovation Heartwood Preserve are encouraged, for example, to participate in a variety of exercise classes in the community’s fitness center — from strengthening and balancing to ballroom dancing, yoga and drumming — as well as group walks around the community or on the property’s 8 miles of walking and hiking trails.
At the same time, participating in activities with other seniors enhances socialization and community-building, especially for newcomers and singles. The 360 Rooftop Social Club features indoor and outdoor seating where residents have additional opportunities to meet with neighbors and friends and make new friends.
What all of this adds up to is not only the continuation of lives well-lived, but a second lease on life through an abundance of options for healthy eating, physical fitness and social connection to truly thrive in retirement.
