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.

Preserved Motor Memory Procedural memory (how to do things like play an instrument) often remains intact longer than other memory types. Individuals who once played an instrument may still be able to perform familiar pieces even if they can't recall other events

The Senior Living Montessori approach adapts Maria Montessori’s educational philosophy—traditionally used with children—for older adults, especially those with dementia or cognitive decline. It emphasizes respect, independence, and purposeful activity, aiming to improve quality of life by engaging seniors in meaningful, structured tasks that support autonomy and cognitive function.

Coloring in assisted living can be a therapeutic and engaging activity for older adults. It has several benefits, such as improving cognitive function, enhancing fine motor skills, and offering a relaxing way to reduce stress and anxiety.

My mom is a new resident and she is having a hard time adjusting to assisted living. She tells me she is bored and would love to have more activities and outings. Mom says she likes the meals most of the time however she doesn't get to choose what she wants or gets seconds. When I have called after hours or weekends, sometimes there is no answer and the call goes to voicemail. This was a concern and I made the director aware and was given the nurse's number to call for emergencies. All of the staff has been very kind, patient and helpful during this transition.
