Thinking about senior living for yourself or a loved one? Senior living communities offer more than just a place to stay. They provide support, convenience, and vibrant lifestyles designed to help older adults live their best lives. 

At Kingston HealthCare, our communities offer a variety of senior living options, including: 

Independent Living

Would you like to focus more on enjoying life and less on chores and home maintenance? Independent living offers older adults the freedom and flexibility to spend their time doing what they love most, while our team takes care of the details.

Features of Independent Living

  • Maintenance-free living: Say goodbye to household chores and repairs. Enjoy more time to focus on hobbies, family, and relaxation.
  • Social opportunities: Engage in enriching activities, community events, and gatherings to connect with new friends and build a strong sense of belonging.
  • Dining options: Our chef-prepared meals turn dining into an enjoyable experience.
  • Safety & convenience: From 24-hour security to transportation services, independent living gives a worry-free lifestyle.

Who Should Consider Independent Living?

This lifestyle is perfect for older adults who:

  • Don’t require assistance with daily living, but want the convenience of maintenance-free living.
  • Enjoy socializing and participating in activities within a welcoming community.
  • Value having peace of mind with access to supportive services if and when needed.

Independent living encourages active, engaged lifestyles by combining independence with convenience.

Assisted Living

Assisted living may be the perfect fit if your loved one could benefit from assistance with daily tasks while maintaining their independence. Assisted living is designed to provide compassionate support while empowering residents to pursue their passions and enjoy life on their terms.

Features of Assisted Living

  • Personalized assistance: Our caregivers provide help with tasks such as bathing, dressing, grooming, and medication management.
  • Vibrant lifestyle: Assisted living residents enjoy a variety of classes, fitness programs, and social activities that foster connection and engagement.
  • Professional team: 24/7 access to trained caregivers provides safety, security, and peace of mind for both residents and families.
  • Homelike environment: Thoughtfully designed spaces create a warm, inviting atmosphere emphasizing comfort.

Who Should Consider Assisted Living?

Assisted living is ideal for older adults who:

  • Need help with personal care or routine daily tasks.
  • Enjoy living in a community environment with access to social activities.
  • Require support managing medication or meals.
  • Want to maintain independence while having assistance readily available.

The right assisted living community can make every day meaningful by offering a careful balance of independence and support.

Memory Care

Memory changes can be challenging, but with the right environment and support, your loved one can still thrive. Memory care is a specialized option tailored for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, or other cognitive changes. 

Features of Memory Care

  • Tailored support plans: Our caregivers honor each resident’s specific needs, preferences, and life story.
  • Safe environment: Secure spaces are designed to eliminate confusion and create comfort, helping residents feel safe and at ease.
  • Engaging programming: Activities are planned to stimulate cognitive abilities, encourage physical activity, and bring joy to residents’ daily lives.
  • Compassionate care team: All staff are specially trained to meet the challenges of memory impairments, ensuring personalized and dignified care.

Who Should Consider Memory Care?

Memory care is an excellent choice for older adults experiencing:

  • Alzheimer’s disease or dementia.
  • Challenges with communication or confusion in daily routines.
  • Increased need for supervision and assistance.

With memory care, your loved one can benefit from expert guidance, purpose-driven activities, and an unwavering focus on their well-being.
