As Director of Community Relations Chris Snider explains, “The

an aging-in-place facility. We are dedicated to promoting the
well-being of each resident and helping them to maintain their
independence in a safe, secure environment.”

of that commitment. In the resort-style dining area, 20-foot high
ceilings and large picture windows that overlook the pond,
waterfall and grounds establish a bright, open feel. Deliciously
fresh ingredients are used in preparing the meals, with the menu
carefully crafted by a licensed dietician. To ensure that residents’
individual dietary needs are satisfied, personalized meal plans
are easily accommodated.
Since a key objective of A Banyan Residence is to empower
its residents, a comprehensive personal enrichment program
is offered, as are opportunities to form meaningful social
connections. Regularly scheduled events, activities and outings
include daily exercise in the gazebo, aromatherapy, barbecues
every Saturday with family and friends, live music, and other
excursions. A shuttle bus takes adventurers to local attractions
such as Mote Marine, the movies and the North Jetty for lunch.
Maintaining communication between residents and their family
members can provide greater peace of mind. By logging on to a
private, secured website, out-of-town and local family members
can access cameras positioned around the property so they may
discover what their loved ones are doing each day. Onsite, a state-
of-the-art computer and video camera allows residents the ability
to connect with family and friends through Skype sessions.
At A Banyan Residence, you will find excellent quality of care, a
rich social environment, and a compassionate, caring staff, all in
a beautifully serene community.
