What are the differences between independent living, assisted living, and memory care?

Independent living is a lifestyle that allows seniors to maintain their current everyday living, while at the same time offering them a sense of community, specialized amenities and tailored services that are designed to keep them active and healthy. Assisted living affords seniors a greater level of assistance with activities of daily living so that independence and dignity are maintained in a friendly and caring environment.

Memory Care offers safety, comfort and appropriate social interaction where each resident is cared for and treated with respect and compassion.
