Sterling Court Sky – Active Living

My dad has lived at Sterling Court for 12 years. It’s a great place for independent seniors, with lots of activities, outings, games, entertainment and more. The location is excellent, with shopping and restaurants, even his doctor, all within walking distance. The facility recently underwent a beautiful, complete makeover. It is modern, bright, clean and new. Very impressive! Over 12 years the facility has had ups and downs with owners, management and staff. However, the current manager Theresa, and the activities director Heather, are outstanding, and by far the best! Theresa is friendly, caring, and very responsive to needs. Always happy to help. Heather has kept the residents more engaged than ever, with fun and different activities. She is warm and friendly and really cares about the seniors. My dad adores them both. I hope they continue to care for the residents at Sterling Court for a long time! The front desk staff is also friendly and very helpful, as is housekeeping and the rest of the staff. My dad now needs more help, and has to be moved to assisted living. We are all sad to leave this home and family he’s known for so long. This is a great place to live for an independent Senior, I highly recommend it!

I placed my Father in this independent living facility and was extremely pleased with the entire staff and Theresa, the manager who was so very helpful and accommodating. It was such a convenient location with all his needs within walking distance. He always liked the food as well as it was freshly prepared by a quality chef. Unfortunately, his needs became where he needed Assisted Living, so had to move him to another facility. I would certainly recommend Sterling Court to anyone looking for independent living in a beautiful and recently remodeled building.

I had my best friend live here for 4 years. I always felt very comfortable with knowing that they always looked out for her. They are very friendly and supportive and energetic! I would highly recommend them for independent living.

This retirement community was recently acquired and under new management with the last 9 months of this posting. The staff is alert and caring. The resident each have their own apartment, which is a rental and added fees for food per person. Onsite programs include activities, Christian religious services on Sunday with a weekly Bible study, hair salon, etc. The activities include daily exercises, including a walking group, yoga, stretching, corn hole, and other group activities. They have an activities room where meeting are held, and other coordinated and casual gatherings occur. On the 2nd floor you will find a library, computer station, pool table, card tables and a TV for video games including bowling and the like. The 3rd floor has the chapel and beauty salon. Each floor of the main building has laundry rooms for residents, and the entry-level first floor is also home to the offices for administrative use and the dining hall where all meals are served. The facility also has private cottages with a full kitchen. The grounds boast lush trees and green space along with a screen enclosed swimming pool, horseshoe games, and a performance gazebo. The residents vary in age from 55+ to 90+ with a range of levels of wellness and health challenges. This community is not racially diverse, Whites are the majority, followed by Latinos from various regions and countries, and then Black and Asian people are the least represented. The food... The resident's chief complaint is food, and it is hard to please so many. 😫 Some people think sandwiches are not appropriate for dinner, while others don't appreciate the taste, quality, and lack of variety when it comes to dietary restrictions. They run out of certain options on their menu. Residents said it was better pre-covid. It's not gourmet. Certain foods are good. I have eaten there, and I agree with the residents overall. The place is undergoing long needed upgrades not handled by the previous management. This includes the roof and exterminators services. The pool was recently cleared out, and it looks great. My parents feel safe here even though staff is there until 8 pm daily. They also provide a life alert emergency pendant that residents can use in case they need medical help. I want to celebrate the following staff. Will and Cara who are servers. These 2 know the residents by name and are kind, considerate, and service oriented. Chef Rey works in the kitchen and does his best to interact and serve. Luisa and Ann are administrators who roll up their sleeves and assist with all the things that need to get done. They both do it with the love and honor of their residents. If the residents get out of line with staff members, Luisa and Ann let the residents know that is unacceptable behavior and all people deserve respect. Marlene and Robin handling new residents and activities compliment the work of Luisa and Ann while shining their own light at Sterling Court. Lastly, Shirleynn in the office has helped where needed and is kind. My final comment is on the availability of a guest apartment that is made available for family and friends of the residents. This is a private apartment located in the 3 story building. I appreciate having it there and available for me when I come to visit my parents. It makes things easy, includes meals, and is so convenient for me to spend plenty of time with them.
