Clear Answers for Your Senior Living Journey

Deciding on a senior living community involves many questions, and we want to ensure you have the information you need to move forward with confidence.

Whether you’re curious about daily programming, dining options, or how we personalize care, our goal is to provide transparency and support. Explore some of our most common inquiries below to learn more about our community.

Long associated with any kind of senior community, the term “nursing home” is now antiquated as older adults seek a more individualized experience. What’s now referred to as a “skilled nursing” community requires a higher level of medical services, such as around-the-clock clinical monitoring and expanded rehabilitation.

Assisted living, on the other hand, offers assistance with daily routines such as bathing, dressing, and grooming, in addition to professional medication management. Assisted living residents receive daily activity programming and dining services in a highly social environment.

Specialized memory care has also become an important option for families of someone living with Alzheimer’s or another type of dementia. Research about memory support has come a long way, and today’s memory care communities are active and lively as we work within the framework of each resident’s unique abilities.

Our community provides tailored support options right here in Claremont. We offer assisted living and specialized memory care neighborhoods. We also offer short-term respite care for seniors recovering from surgery or those looking to experience community life before moving in permanently.

Affording senior living really depends on personal situations. There are federal and state programs that can pay benefits to monthly rent or to the level of care at our community. In addition, wartime veterans and their spouses can benefit from Veterans Aid and Attendance benefits.

Sometimes, narrowing in on current expenses can provide insight into how much is being spent and how much it would cost to bring in care from a third-party provider. How much is currently spent on food, utilities, home health services, and transportation?

Visit our Affording Care page for more information or contact our team directly for assistance with understanding financial options.

We use a Resident Life Story to understand habits, joys, and preferences before someone even moves in. From a favorite afternoon tea to lifelong passions, we build the day around the individual.

We know that life is never one-size-fits-all, so senior living should reflect that beautiful mosaic of experiences, too!

We customize a care plan by working with families, residents, and providers to support all daily needs. We also encourage residents to get involved in community life with opportunities to lead clubs, make suggestions in the Dining Council, and become community ambassadors.

The Dining Experience is a signature program that celebrates great food and togetherness. Included in rent are three meals a day, and there are regular celebrations that bring our community together over a delicious meal.

Enjoy chef-prepared, restaurant-style meals that celebrate local cuisine and capture the flavors of international cultures. We offer flexible dining options and value resident feedback to shape our seasonal menus.

We encourage family engagement through social gatherings, educational workshops, and regular communication. Relatives are always a vital part of a loved one’s community life, and we welcome frequent visits.

Our community also welcomes volunteers to lead an activity or share a passion with our residents.
