Alpine Brook Harbor
Alpine Brook Harbor is a community we are planning for people who want a private home, good company close by and practical help when they ask for it. This website explains the thinking. It does not yet offer homes for sale or lease.
Planning a move later in life is a serious decision, so we would rather be exact about our stage than impress you.
The pages that follow set out what we would like Alpine Brook Harbor to become: how homes might be arranged, which shared rooms and gardens we are drawing up, and what an ordinary week could feel like. None of it is a finished facility.
No home is for sale or lease through this site. We publish no prices, floor areas, waiting list or move-in dates, because none has been fixed. Any future agreement would arrive as a written contract with its own explanation.
We are not a hospital, clinic or nursing provider, and nothing here says that care is delivered. Medical and long-term-care needs stay with your own doctors and with the providers you choose.
Private residences, so the day stays yours: a late breakfast, a visitor, a quiet afternoon with a book. The plan starts from an ordinary home rather than a ward.
Shared rooms and gardens sit close to the homes, so company is easy to find and just as easy to step away from.
Errands, housekeeping and transport are the kind of help we want to arrange. Who would provide it, and at what cost, is still to be settled.
Medicine, nursing, law and money belong to licensed professionals. We will say plainly where our part ends.
We picture mornings that begin with a walk, afternoons that belong to a garden bed or a craft table, and evenings with company or without it, as you prefer. Nothing would be compulsory.
These are concepts we are discussing. The pictures are illustrations of the idea, not of buildings that exist.
A single-storey home with its own patio and a step-free entrance, set among the shared gardens.
Concept only: size, price and availability not set
An apartment-style home in a shared building, with an open living area, a lift and plenty of daylight.
Concept only: size, price and availability not set
A larger detached home with a garden, for people who want room for family to stay.

We would like the grounds to feel like an extension of the home: raised beds for those who want to grow things, benches along the paths, and a place to sit outside when the weather is kind.
A lounge, a library corner, a room for exercise and a dining space are the rooms we keep sketching. Which of them are built, and when, depends on the site, the permits and the money.
We would like to help with everyday matters. We do not provide medical care, and we say so before anything else.
Housekeeping, errands and rides are ideas we are exploring, with providers and prices yet to be agreed.
Health and long-term care remain with the doctors and registered providers you choose.
Relatives are welcome to join the conversation, if you want them to.
We would rather put an answer on paper than make a promise on the phone.
