The Family Perspective
Family members share what they all want for their loved ones: to know they’re safe, well cared for, and enjoying all the things they love in a supportive environment. During uncertain times when families may have been encouraged to move their loved ones out of senior living, these families were even more convinced that a senior community was the safest place. With peace of mind, these family members can rest easier knowing their loved ones are thriving.

The Resident Perspective
Residents explain how senior living offers them peace of mind and plentiful opportunities to stay connected, engaged, safe, and supported even in the face of unexpected challenges. They describe why living in a senior community is the safest place for them and why it’s an ideal alternative to living alone in a house or with their children. They discuss what worry-free, service-supported living means to them, including the importance of socializing safely, gaining independence, diving into passions that bring them joy, having immediate access to care, and more.

The Associate Perspective
Senior living communities celebrate the human spirit each day, and associates are inspired by residents’ resilience, hope, and optimism even in the face of challenging times. These essential front-line workers and heroes step up each day, and go above and beyond to provide exceptional care and support. Dedicated to supporting older adults, they build relationships with residents and families, and help them thrive safely each day. Associates know what brings each resident happiness and fulfillment, and they help residents stay connected with family. Residents are like family, and helping them live well is more than just a job. It’s a way of life.
