When people first walk through the doors of Overlake Terrace, they often comment not on how it looks, but how it feels. Our apartments and community spaces are elegant and updated, but it’s the way the people here treat each other that really sets us apart. While a fancy hotel might be fun for a weekend, most of our residents aren’t just looking for a place to stay. They’re looking for a place to call home, for the long haul. Overlake Terrace’s low-key, comfortable atmosphere ensures everyone feels welcome. You’ll always be greeted with a smile, and you’ll be truly valued and cared for here, just like a member of our own family.
What levels of care does Overlake Terrace offer?
Overlake Terrace is unique in our ability to offer three levels of care, including:
All of our apartments are dual-licensed to support both independent living and assisted living, so even if you don’t need much support now, you can rest assured you’ll be covered if you need more help in the future.
Do I have to move if I need more care in the future?
Unless you or your loved one needs skilled nursing care, you won’t need to move again. With assisted living and secure memory care, Overlake Terrace can provide support for your long-term care needs. No one enjoys moving, and once you’ve made friends and settled in within your community, the last thing you want to do is uproot your (or your parent’s) entire life again. Our residents and their families love that they can age in place, even if they need more care in the future. And unless you need the security of our memory care apartments, you won’t even have to move apartments!
