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

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.

Alana is not just a caregiver but a remarkable individual, recognized as a Black Pearl by her teammates for her exceptional teamwork, willingness to assist others, and immense kindness. She must be truly valued and admired for her contributions!

Whoever donated this puzzle has definitely provided a challenge for our puzzle girls! We have had some wanting to quit but I keep telling them that this is good for them! They’re so good at puzzles that they finish some of them in a day or two! This is not the case with this one! It’s tough!
