Anindell

Anindell is built for adults 55 and older who want to keep living on their own terms without the upkeep of a house. The community sits at 115 Healthy Way in Folsom and is operated by Oakmont Senior Living. It is an active adult setting, not an assisted living or memory care building, so residents manage their own daily routines. Homes in an active adult setting are usually leased month to month or on an annual term, so the lease length is worth asking about early.

What the monthly arrangement covers matters more here than care services. The listing on file includes linen and housekeeping services, high-speed internet, climate-controlled heating and air conditioning, an emergency response system and concierge services. Residents can choose private or semi-private accommodations, and pets are welcome, with a secured dog park on site. Those services take away much of the chore list that comes with owning a house, which is often the main reason people move.

Social life is a large part of the model. Daily activities and social events, live entertainment and outings, a fitness center, a library and a game room give residents reasons to leave the apartment. For medical appointments, Mercy Hospital of Folsom and Kaiser Permanente serve the area, and Nimbus Winery Mall is nearby for errands. Orangevale Neighborhood Library and Sunrise Mall are also within reach for residents who still drive.

Anindell suits someone who is healthy and independent today. A person who already needs help with bathing, medication or memory should look at assisted living or memory care instead. Families weighing both paths can compare senior living in Folsom to see which communities offer each level of care.
