+ What’s the difference between Independent, Assisted, and Memory Care options?

Independent Living is for seniors that still live independently but want to be in a senior community with access to dining, activities, transportation, housekeeping, maintenance-free homes.

Assisted living is a great option for seniors that want to maintain an independent lifestyle but may need some help with daily activities such as medication management, assistance with bathing, grooming and/or dressing, meal preparation, housekeeping, transportation, and activities.

Memory care is a specialized secure unit for seniors with dementia including Alzheimer’s disease. Memory care offers a structured program with routines in place to create a safe, stress-free environment for seniors with varying degrees of memory loss.
