HEARTWARMING TOUCHES AND MODERN CONVENIENCES
When you step inside Timberlake Care Center, you see touches
of home. Comfortable couches and wingback chairs decorate
the lounges. Pastel wallpaper, floral arrangements and rich
oak trim add warm touches. A breezeway leads to the Great
Hall with its vaulted ceiling, sky lights, chandeliers, lofty
windows, aviary of singing finches, and furniture arranged
in conversational groupings.
 Three
social lounges with sunny windows provide a relaxed atmosphere
where residents and family can visit, watch movies and participate
in a variety of social activities. The soft sound of bubbling
aquariums echo throughout two of the lounges.
Step inside a resident's room and you'll see family photos,
heirloom furniture and treasured antiques. Rooms containing
personal furnishings help ease the transition to a new home.
Although Timberlake Care Center provides electric adjustable
beds, comfortable chairs, nightstands and a bedside cart,
residents enjoy decorating their rooms with family portraits
and personal items that reflect their individual interests.

RELAXING VIEWS AND INVITING COURTYARDS
"Did you see the momma deer with her two babies this morning?"
Marie asks as she greets Ann in the hall outside her room.
Timberlake Care Center is nestled among woods fffled with
deer, squirrels, birds and wildlife, and we have plenty of
windows to let nature inside. Our lounges, dining hall and
many residents' rooms overlook the woodland. Fall brings vibrant
hues of red, gold and purple. Springtime offers new blossoms
of tulips, daffodils and hyacinth.
An afternoon stroll in an enclosed courtyard lets residents
enjoy the warm sunshine as a waterfall cascades into a pond
filled with goldfish. Birdbaths and feeders entice cardinals,
blue jays and robins to enjoy a meal and share a song while
squirrels scurry up feeders filled with peanuts and sunflower
seeds.
Our beautifully landscaped courtyards are lighted for evening
use. Residents can sit on a park bench with a friend, read
a book, or close their eyes and listen to the sounds of nature
around them. Garden lovers can help plant flowers in our spacious
flowerbeds.
Many rooms feature wooded views so residents can enjoy nature's
splendor from their bedside or favorite chair. Our aviary
in the Great Hall brings the outdoors inside. This glass aviary
features colorful finches that cheer residents with their
love songs. Aquariums in two lounges offer soothing sounds
and colorful fish.
