Original Article
Designed to Thrive
Promenade Trails is thoughtfully designed to offer residents peace of mind. This active and vibrant 55-and-better community has uniquely positioned itself apart from other local active senior living options by creating an atmosphere that showcases modern, contemporary design elements with an emphasis on establishing a community where residents can thrive and engage in meaningful experiences.
Promenade Trails’ strong foundation of care and comfort is supported by its four pillars: a vibrant lifestyle, a connected community, carefree living and sophisticated design.
“Promenade Trails stands out among other 55-and-better communities because we have a really strong connection to nature and wellness, and we are a locally connected community. We are surrounded by community trails and offer a lot of green spaces with nearby access to a nature preserve, giving residents a chance to enjoy the outdoors. Whether it’s taking a stroll on the trail, being with neighbors or just enjoying quiet moments in nature, people really enjoy that our green spaces are an extension of their home,” says Sarah Crist, vice president of business development for the Justus Companies.
Promenade Trails’ location is also an attractive feature, offering nearby access to retail, including the new Meijer grocery store, health care facilities and other recreational amenities.
“We’re in a really great area where our residents are connected not just with other residents but with their community,” Crist says.
Promenade Trails is locally owned and operated by the Justus Companies, which adds an additional level of community connection and commitment. Locally owned and operated since 1910, the Justus Companies have a longstanding legacy of dependability, integrity and dedication.
“There’s really something for everyone,” Crist says.
Promenade Trails is committed to creating an environment that is inclusive for all residents. Not only are the cottages and apartments ADA-friendly, but the community also offers fully ADA-compliant apartment and cottage homes.
Community and lifestyle are central to the Promenade Trails experience. The community offers a variety of amenities, including numerous green spaces and nature trails, a luxurious swimming pool with a lap lane, sun deck and bench seating, a courtyard, a wellness and fitness center, and a life enrichment center.
Promenade Trails has both a lifestyle director and a fitness coordinator who work to create life enrichment opportunities that allow residents to connect, build relationships and engage in educational experiences. The lifestyle director organizes activities, social events and classes that range from floral arrangement workshops to a resident-favorite monthly culture series focused on a specific country’s culture with a food tie-in.
The fitness coordinator works directly with residents in the fitness center and leads group exercise classes, including chair exercises, yoga and other engaging movement programs such as the Trail Seekers Wellness Program, which supports residents in maintaining an active lifestyle.
“It’s important for families to understand that Promenade Trails is really here to enhance the independence of our residents, not limit it. Our residents have peace of mind because they don’t have all of those day-to-day responsibilities. Instead, they can focus on what matters most to them, which is often connecting and building relationships with others and feeling supported,” Crist says.
Promenade Trails offers a variety of floor plans to meet the needs and lifestyles of residents. Whether choosing a cottage home or an apartment, residents can expect functional, stylish living paired with modern fixtures and features. The cottages are ideal for those looking to downsize and feature two-bedroom, two-bathroom layouts with attached garages. The community building includes one- and two-bedroom apartments with a variety of floor plans, including open-concept options.
“When you look at Promenade Trails, we really feel like we have a distinct, sophisticated design with modern finishes and an abundance of natural light,” Crist says.
“Maintenance-free living at Promenade Trails allows residents to let go of the responsibilities that come with homeownership,” Crist adds. “You don’t have to worry about repairs, landscaping, snow removal or unexpected maintenance issues. We remove those burdens so residents have more time to do what they enjoy. Whether that’s traveling, spending time with family, focusing on hobbies or participating in social activities, they no longer have to worry about maintaining their home because we take care of that for them.”
