Silver Comet Village has 64 independent living apartments, 60 in assisted-living and 30 in memory support. Independent and assisted living areas are close enough that residents can continue to visit even though they live in separate buildings. Transitions are made easier by frequent visits to the new community before a move takes place.

Each living community has a salon and barbershop, and the same menu offered in the dining room, unless a special diet is needed. Other common benefits include a home care company that can offer support from 15-minute increments to several hours, and on-site rehab services to help residents with physical, occupational and speech therapy.

Transportation is available for shopping excursions and doctor appointments. Gus looks forward to spending quality time with the residents and ventures out for Sunday supper with their “dinner club” twice a month. He also hosts monthly meetings where residents can offer feedback and share ideas or concerns.

INDEPENDENT LIVING

Residents enjoy a purposeful lifestyle through many amenities, activities and floor plans. Apartments range from cozy one-bedroom apartments to beautifully appointed two-bedroom, two-bath residences with a den. Each unit has a washer and dryer and a fully functional kitchen.

Dining choices include a fine-dining room with an indoor/outdoor fireplace, a bistro to host happy hour, and a private dining room for intimate family events. There’s no shortage of activities, with specially designed spaces like a movie theater, game and craft room, fitness center, library and abundant sitting areas for visiting friends and family.

ASSISTED LIVING

While independence is encouraged, assisted-living residents needing a little extra assistance can benefit from support for day-to-day activities like dressing, grooming, housekeeping, medication management and more.

Trained and professional team members are available around the clock, and can coordinate support with home health, hospice, pharmacy and visiting wellness providers.

MEMORY SUPPORT

Residents who are struggling with their cognitive issues, or diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or dementia, receive extra care and attention so they can lead an engaging lifestyle in a secure neighborhood. Special features of the memorysupport community are the two internal courtyards, again focusing on quality outdoor time, and a baby grand piano in the stylish dining room.

Caregivers use a Moments Matte™ program to help residents balance daily routines with spontaneity. An interior entrance offers added security, and spacious studio apartments have sizable closets, roomy bathrooms with accessible showers, and built-in shower benches. A flowing floor plan creates a spacious area while guaranteeing enhanced supervision. Blended multipurpose spaces provide socially engaging gathering places for structured activities and fellowship.

Silver Comet Village’s goal is for all team members to become like extended family to their residents to ensure they get the care they need in a personalized way, according to Gus. “Just because you’re getting older and need a little help doesn’t mean you can’t do the things you love to do and live your best life,” he said.

Residents enjoy seasonal menus of tasty dishes curated by chef Shamika Jones.
