Where to Begin | 5 Easy Steps

Independent Living lets you trade upkeep for spontaneity. You might spend the morning fine-tuning your swing on the putting green, meet friends for a glass of wine on the patio as the autumn air turns crisp, or get lost in the joy of a new project in the woodworking shop. Featuring everything from tailored wellness plans and sophisticated dining venues to resort-style amenities and a fully packed event calendar, independent living gives you back the time and space to invest in the lifestyle you’ve worked hard to create—on your terms, at your pace. 

Independent Living is ideal for those who:

• Enjoy a social lifestyle without the worries of home maintenance.
• Appreciate exceptional dining, engaging activities, and access to wellness programs.
• Value the confidence of knowing that if your needs evolve, you won’t have to leave the community you call home.

Assisted living offers just the right amount of personalized help with everyday tasks, so you can focus on what makes your day fulfilling. Whether it’s getting dressed, managing medications, or preparing for dinner with friends, you’ll have experienced professionals nearby who understand how to step in without slowing you down.

This lifestyle may be a good fit if you:

• Prefer help with daily routines like dressing, bathing, or medication management
• Enjoy having access to wellness programming, dining, and events
• Appreciate knowing that additional living options are available, should your needs evolve
