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.

Socialization during meals is important for seniors as it offers both emotional and physical benefits. Shared meals provide opportunities for meaningful conversations, reducing feelings of loneliness and isolation, which are common among older adults. Engaging with others while eating can improve mood, boost mental health, and promote a sense of community. Furthermore, socializing at meals can help with appetite stimulation, improve eating habits, and even support cognitive function by encouraging interaction and discussion. It’s also important to ensure that seniors are provided with appropriate support, such as assistance with eating or meal planning, to maintain their independence and dignity while socializing. Please call Carla at (586) 685-5800 to join us for a meal and get your loved one on the Higher Path.

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.
