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

The Senior's Journey

There are two paths that seniors take as they age: the lower path and the higher path

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.

Proud to say that we achieved a **Deficiency Free** designation in the Indiana State Nursing Survey! This is a significant accomplishment for a senior living community. Meaning that we are fully compliant with both state and federal regulations, and ensure that our residents receive the highest quality care, services, and attention. For families considering senior living options, a **Deficiency Free** designation can be a reassuring sign of a facility's dedication to the well-being of its residents.

Our men's group at Still Waters Adult Day Center is a great way to connect and share life experiences. We played a simple game of questions that sparked some VERY interesting stories! Love these guys. So grateful to be partners with this wonderful organization.

You might have heard about this very popular show, which appeared in November on Netflix. It's a very entertaining and thoughtful story. Heartfelt and funny. For those of us who work in senior living and in particular, memory care, it's a slice of our daily life. For those who have experienced dementia in a loved one, you might find "A Man on the Inside" to be very comforting. (This should not be considered an endorsement of Netflix, this show or its producers.) #seniorliving #dementia #memorycare #assistedliving Watch the preview here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhsVj_4ONoA
