The Terraces at Bonita Springs offers an ideal lifestyle for active, independent couples who want to stay together while having access to the care they may need in the future. With all services and amenities conveniently located under one roof, residents experience unmatched security, comfort, and connection.
Barbara Bunting and her husband chose to make The Terraces their home just a few months ago. They say it was the best decision they could have made.
“My husband and I lived in the community across the street and passed The Terraces all the time for years. We love this area,” Barbara shared. “After visiting The Terraces, we fell in love with it, too. Now my husband is in assisted living, and one of the best things is that we are right in one building, under one roof.”
For Barbara, staying close to her husband has made all the difference.
“I can go back and forth and be with him, and we can be together. It’s very, very nice. This is a lovely community,” she said. “People are very, very friendly. I never expected all of this, so it’s just so much fun here.”
The couple’s children also enjoy peace of mind knowing their parents are in the best possible environment with access to exceptional health care and an active, fulfilling social life.
“My children are very happy now; they know we’re taken care of and safe here,” Barbara said.
Downsizing Without Compromise
Like many others, Barbara left behind a beloved family home. However, her transition to The Terraces was pleasantly seamless and stress-free.
“The move-in process was amazing. A moving company helped me decide what to keep, packed everything, and even set up my apartment down to hanging pictures and organizing my kitchen. It took all the stress out of the process.”
Barbara’s sunny two-bedroom apartment allows her to host her children, who visit from Pennsylvania and Colorado, for holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas. Downsizing has also brought a newfound freedom.
“Moving out of your old home takes all the worries off your back – the plumbing, air conditioning and upkeep. It’s very comforting,” she said.
Thriving in a Vibrant Community
The Terraces offers more than security; it provides a vibrant social environment. Barbara enjoys fitness classes, bridge games, and a packed calendar of events.
“We have socials together, maybe a cocktail or soda in the evenings. It’s so important at this stage in life to get to know other people. You never feel alone here. If you’re feeling down or lonely, there’s always someone to chat with to lift your spirits. It’s an uplifting place to live.”
Together Through Every Stage
The Terraces’ integrated care model ensures couples can remain close, even if one partner requires additional assistance.
“The best part for my husband is that I can come from my apartment to his in five minutes, helping him or bringing him some extra treats. It’s just wonderful,” Barbara said.
The staff at The Terraces take care of everything, allowing couples and families to focus on what matters most.
“When you get here, it’s so reassuring to know you’ve made the right decision. I would pick this over any other retirement community in the area,” she added. “If you’re even thinking about it, visit The Terraces. It’s truly a wonderful place.”
