Pay My Bill

Your loved one deserves to live the best life possible

Watch your loved one thrive in an environment that feels like home

Navigating the aging journey is difficult.

We understand what’s at stake here: it’s not just someone, it’s your loved one.

Meanwhile, it’s on you to make the difficult decisions.

There's a Higher Path for our seniors

Senior care today is reactive, expensive, and siloed. It’s a sick-care system, not a health-care system (designed to keep seniors healthy). Most of us have accepted this status quo because it feels too big and complex to change. Not us. We’re taking the road less traveled and championing a higher standard of senior care.

Our family of caregivers will do whatever it takes to care for your loved one

The highlight of the week for some of our residents is Bingo. It starts in the morning asking to make sure we are going to play! To see the joy on their faces and the excitement in their voices, when I say, Yes!! It makes my day. We try and play twice a week, on Mondays and Wednesdays so if your in town stop by. We would love to see you!
