  • What is supportive living?

    Supportive living is an affordable housing option for seniors aged 65 and older who don't require nursing home care but could benefit from some assistance. It's designed to meet the growing demand for affordable senior housing while providing a level of support that promotes independence.
  • What is the difference between supportive living and assisted living?

    Supportive living provides an alternative solution to the growing need for affordable housing. We find that supportive living is ideal for today's seniors 65 or older who do not need a nursing home, but could benefit from a little extra help.
  • What are the benefits of supportive living?

    Residents in supportive living have the luxury of living in an apartment independently and being self-sufficient as long as possible while still having nursing care and other supportive services as needed.
  • What is included in supportive living?

    Residents have their own private apartment, three meals a day plus snacks, housekeeping and laundry services (if needed), social interaction, health and wellness activities for heart, mind and body, medication assistance, assistance with setting up transportation, and so much more.
