“We have promised ourselves that we shall always treat our residents as we would our own loved ones. Nothing less than our best will do.”
You don’t have to leave our family if your health needs change
• Emergency response call system • Rehabilitation services (Physical, Occupational, Speech Therapy)
Once you decide to move in, you can stay right here in the same community, surrounded by familiar faces you’ve come to know and trust, even if your health needs change. We offer:
To ensure we meet your needs, we use a state-of-the-art computerized assessment system, called the wE Care® Resident Evaluation Program. This helps us accurately evaluate and monitor assisted living services for each resident. In addition, our Director of Resident Care will visit with you on a regular basis to personally discuss healthrelated issues and to monitor your progress.
• Retirement Living: Finally, you’ll have time to enjoy life and to trade your household chores for the joys of retirement living. Whether that’s volunteering for the art league or taking in an evening at the local theater, you’ll have the freedom to do what you like best. After all, you’ve earned the right to pursue what you enjoy most!
• Alzheimer’s and Dementia care: Our community offers an innovative program, called Join Their Journey®, for residents with Alzheimer’s or memory disorders. The premise of the program is simple: we create specially designed memory care neighborhoods that provide a personalized, familiar and secure setting tailored to each resident’s unique needs. Within this environment, our highly trained staff joins residents in their moment, rather than trying to bring them into our reality. Through this approach, we recognize individuality, encourage choices and help residents maintain their dignity.
Rest assured, our staff will go the extra mile to make your new life here enjoyable and rewarding. Our goal is to help you create the lifestyle you’ve always wanted, and most importantly, to foster the kind of community where you do more than just wave to your neighbors you get to know them! • Assisted Living: As we get older, many of us naturally need a helping hand – perhaps someone to help us get ready for the day, help manage our medications or prepare special meals. Sometimes that’s all we need to live safely on our own.

Friendship Suites
Just right for many seniors Perhaps you’d love to live here, but you’re concerned about your budget. Or maybe you no longer want to live alone. Either way, we offer the perfect solution – friendship suites. Seniors are brought together to share an apartment and cost savings, while receiving the same outstanding services and amenities all residents enjoy.
Short-Stay
A great way to get to know us If you want to experience living at an Emeritus community before making a permanent move, or you’re being discharged from a hospital or nursing care facility and aren’t quite ready to go home, consider our short term stay program. You’ll receive the same services all residents enjoy – home-cooked meals, scheduled transportation, outstanding service and more. Taking advantage of our short term stay program is a great way to decide if our community suits your lifestyle and fits your needs!
Right at Home To all of our residents we make a simple promise: a promise to be compassionate and kind, understanding and respectful; a promise to become extended family to the seniors entrusted in our care and to our retirees who have chosen our community for its active lifestyle.
Our staff is here to offer that helping hand, but only when and if you need it. Our full range of assisted living services are designed to help you maintain your health, so you can live as independently as possible. These include:
