Where to Begin | 5 Easy Steps
1.) Rethink What Senior Living Can Be
A lifestyle-focused setting offering opportunities for dining, wellness, enrichment, and social engagement.
A healthcare setting providing continuous skilled nursing and rehabilitative care for individuals with complex health needs.
Services delivered in a private residence, ranging from companionship to medical care. Often requires families to manage scheduling, staffing, and costs separately.
Ideal for individuals ready to enjoy maintenance-free living with amenities like dining, wellness classes, cultural programs, and social events.
Effortless apartment living with access to discreet help for daily activities such as dressing, bathing, or medication reminders, offering reassurance while preserving independence.
Also called a Life Care community, this model includes access to multiple levels of living, including independent living, skilled nursing, and rehabilitation, within one community.
Age-qualified residences for those seeking simplicity, low maintenance, and a private home-like setting with fewer bundled services.
