What Our Residents and Their Families Like Best about Assisted Living

by | Assisted Living

We can tell you all about the benefits of assisted living in our communities. In fact, we have in recent assisted living blogs. But at the end of the day, we know you’ll take our word with a grain of salt. As you should! Because the best description of what life is really like with us comes from our residents and their families. Here’s what they like best about assisted living in our communities.

About assisted living communities

Assisted living is a type of senior living that offers housing, onsite care, and support with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, medication assistance, light housekeeping, and laundry. It’s designed to provide just the right level of support to help residents maintain their independence while also offering a range of services, amenities and opportunities to make life more active, more enriching and more convenient for residents. In our communities you can typically expect:

  • Comfortable, spacious apartments in a range of floor plans
  • 24/7 onsite personal care staff and emergency response system
  • Personalized care plans
  • Restaurant-style dining with seasonal menus
  • Bistro café
  • Cinema-style movie theater
  • Game room
  • Art studio
  • Weekly housekeeping and laundry service
  • 24-hour fitness center 
  • Full-service beauty salon 
  • Scheduled transportation
  • 24-hour emergency maintenance

The lifestyle for residents is filled with opportunities to socialize, learn, exercise, explore, grow and create through our signature Daily Living Program which engages and nurtures each of the six dimensions of wellness: physical, social, intellectual, emotional, purposeful, and spiritual.

Residents enjoy monthly calendars filled with classes that fit any interest from cooking to crafts to fitness, in addition to clubs, socials, games, volunteer opportunities, religious services, outings, and even special events like live entertainment or seasonal fun.
