As much as you want; as much as you need. Living at Timber Ridge affords all the privacy and independence of living in a luxury apartment complete with your own concierge—only better! Here's why:
Choose a unit that personally suits you—from an economical
single room with shared kitchenette to a spacious three-bedroom
apartment. Furnish it with your own belongings—even
pets are welcome! Once you're settled in, our staff is
here when you need us. Enjoy healthful, delicious dining in
the restaurant. Drive your own car or catch a ride downtown
to shop with friends. Be pampered in our in-house beauty
salon. Enjoy group activities and outings—or all
the quiet privacy you want. But, should you need assistance,
we also have fully trained caregivers available at the push
