Fairhaven and
Fairoaks are both independent senior living communities located in North
Denton. They are both owned by Plano Community of Homes. The most
important item at both communities is to improve the street appearance.
Beyond these things in common the communities are very different.
Fairhaven is
located in a quiet wooded neighborhood. The rooms are arranged in long
hallways in an H shape. The residents eat in a common dining room.
Each room has a garden view. After cleaning and planting in the front
of the building, we will concentrate on the gardens that are visible
from the residents' rooms. When that is completed we will be working in
the “woods” area. There is a pond, stream, picnic area, and large
wooded forest.
Fairoaks is also
located in North Denton. There are eight buildings; seven are divided
into separate apartments. The eighth comprises a community center,
laundry facilities and offices for staff members. Most residents are
able to drive and prepare their own meals. As in Fairhaven we will be
working on the appearance near the entrance and in front of the
community center. We have provided planting material for residents who
are able to do their own planting, and we are assisting those who are
unable to plant their own garden areas. We will be converting some hard
to mow areas into garden areas to assist the maintenance/groundskeeper
who works at both communities. Residents' most frequent request was a
vegetable garden. It is still a work in progress, but we hope to have
the requested items growing soon.
