Home Care

Non-medical support provided in the home, including help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, cooking, and companionship. Ideal for seniors who want to stay independent at home but need a little extra help.

Independent Living

A housing option for seniors who are generally healthy and independent but want a maintenance-free lifestyle with access to social activities, amenities, and a community of peers.

Memory Care

Specialized care for individuals with Alzheimer’s, dementia, or other memory impairments. These secure environments are designed to provide safety, structure, and support tailored to cognitive needs.

Nursing Home

Long-term residential care for seniors with significant medical or personal care needs. Provides daily assistance, supervision, and access to skilled nursing and rehabilitative services.

Home Health Care

Skilled medical services provided at home by licensed professionals such as nurses or therapists. Often prescribed after an illness, injury, or hospital stay to support recovery at home.

Assisted Living

A residential setting offering help with personal care, meals, medication management, and activities in a social environment. A great option for those who need some support but still want to live as independently as possible.

Skilled Nursing Facility

A medical facility offering 24/7 care from licensed nurses and rehabilitation staff. Often used for short-term recovery after hospitalization or for those with ongoing medical needs.

Hospice Care

Comfort-focused care for individuals facing a terminal illness. Hospice supports the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of both the patient and their family—usually provided at home, in a facility, or in a hospice center.
