Top 3 Senior Living Questions

Choosing a senior living community is a major decision in life, one that involves thoughtful planning and questions. Whether you’re exploring options for yourself or a loved one, understanding the basics can make the journey smoother. We’re here to help you navigate this important decision with answers to the top three questions people ask about senior living.


What are my senior living options?

There are three types of senior living: independent living, assisted living, and memory care.


Independent living is for active seniors who want to enjoy a vibrant, low-maintenance lifestyle without worrying about cooking, cleaning, or home upkeep. It’s about freedom, convenience, and community.


Assisted living assists with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and medications while still promoting independence. Care plans are personalized to each person, so they receive the level of care they need. Assisted living is ideal for seniors who need healthcare services with access to amenities and social opportunities for an active lifestyle.


Memory care is specialized care for those with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia. It offers a secure environment, trained staff, and structured programs to support memory, familiarity, comfort, and dignity.


What’s included in senior living?

Senior living often includes meals, housekeeping, maintenance, transportation, activities, and fitness programs. You can select care services based on your needs. This lifestyle is designed to make your retirement easier and vibrant.


What should I look for in a senior living community?

When seeking senior living, focus on cleanliness, employee friendliness, safety features, and how the community feels. Ask about an upcoming event you can attend or a complimentary meal so you can experience the community and get to know the people who live there.
