ABOUT US
Garden Place Senior Living is committed to creating an engaging and lively home for seniors. It is our goal to prolong independent living for our residents in as dignified a manner and for as long as is possible. At Garden Place, we feel senior adults don’t need to compromise their independence in order to have peace of mind. Therefore, we encourage them to maintain lifelong hobbies and relationships while building new friendships and activities of interest in their new home. Together, residents of Garden Place enrich each others’ lives and make a difference within their own community. At Garden Place, we also take pride in that our communities were created and are served by the people who live here and who were raised here. The caregivers are your neighbors, your friends, and maybe even your pewmate at church! A different level of concern, care and respect is the result. At Garden Place, we live here. We care here.

Additional Services Adult Day Club
Respite Care
Adult Day Club is an innovative, non-residential program designed to alleviate mental and social strains. Often referred to as adult day care, Garden Place prefers to think of this service as Adult Day Club – a group of active seniors that participate in the day’s fun and extend their social activity. Studies prove regular exercise, which challenges the mind and body, wards off and slows the progression of memory loss. Further, daily socialization leads to a happier and more satisfied lifestyle.
Respite care is a short-term care solution that exists for both the health of caregivers and their loved one. While being a caregiver can be an incredibly rewarding experience, it is also a role full of physical, emotional and financial challenges.
Test Drive
Garden Place’s Adult Day Club offers structured, social programs that allow seniors and their caregivers the opportunity to enjoy a safe and nurturing environment during the day while returning to their home at night.
Caregivers need to ensure they receive the support and assistance they need to cope with the challenge of convalescent care. Our respite care services allow caregivers the time and energy to maintain their role while ensuring that the health and safety of a loved one is not compromised. Our services include short-term stays for elderly recovering from an injury or seniors in need of care while caregivers go on vacation. We also offer Adult Day Club, which provides scheduled hourly or daily care for seniors.
Trial Stays “Test drive” a Garden Place community to ensure it is a good match for your senior loved one. We encourage prospective residents to stay overnight or longer to ensure we are the best fit for seniors’ retirement, independent living and assisted living needs.
Feel free to contact us with any question you may have regarding our services or communities!
