SPONSORED CONTENT BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT SPONSORED CONTENT Overbrook Pointe A Vacation that Never Ends I magine going on a vacation that never ends. And still being close to your family. That is a common description used by many residents when talking about life at Overbrook Pointe in Mars. The senior living apartment building in its third year of operation is quickly moving toward capacity. Several one-bedroom-plus apartments with an upscale feel and roomy accommodations have been among the favorites for new residents, according to Gina Strasbaugh, marketing coordinator. Apartments are available for a monthly rental or a community buy- in. Overbrook is part of Lutheran SeniorLife’s St. John Community. “Many of our residents are just looking for an opportunity to downsize and simplify life,” Strasbaugh said. And for some, moving closer to adult children living in the growing suburban centers of Mars, Cranberry and surrounding areas has been a prime attraction of Overbrook Pointe. While every apartment has a balcony view with a feel of a rural setting, the apartments are easily accessible to routes 79, 279, 8 and the turnpike, and less than 30 minutes from downtown Pittsburgh and Moraine State Park. “Our location has been a very favorable draw both for people who want to be close to some activities and for those who want a rural setting. We are blessed with the best of both worlds,” Strasbaugh notes. As far as the activities among the residents, well, that is up to the residents. Happy hours, shopping excursions, exercise classes, Bible studies, dinner clubs…the options have been almost endless. Several special packages remain available, which include a variety of options and special promotions that can save prospective residents a significant amount of money. “The relaxation of maintenance-free living, simplifying life, enjoying a vacation-like life – those have been among the primary motivators for people interested in Overbrook,” Strasbaugh said. “Our residents are ready to relax and enjoy life without the worries of home ownership.” In addition to not owning a home, Overbrook Pointe allows residents to eliminate the monthly bills for utilities and related expenses, as all are covered under the rent agreement. Residents also receive light housekeeping services and a flexible meal plan, in apartments with a modern, innovative design that gives the feel of a vacation condo. Many apartments offer an extra room for a den or other use, a fully equipped kitchen, washer and dryer and outdoor deck, and the mission-style design features wooden pillars and high ceilings. A variety of care options are available through Lutheran SeniorLife’s home care, rehabilitation and related services. Sound like a vacation? It can be. And this one doesn’t end after a week or two. “The benefits of community living are many, including socialization, the safety of a secure building, and having everything that you need under one roof,” Strasbaugh says. Transportation also is available on a regular basis. A variety of seasonal promotions are ongoing. For more information about Overbrook Pointe, call 724.687.3372.
