If I choose Timber Ridge, how much freedom or independence will I still have?
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 of a button.
