Today’s seniors have more choices than ever when it comes to senior living. However, navigating the differences between which senior lifestyle option is best for you or your loved one isn’t always so easy. At the end of the day, which community style you choose should be based on you or your loved one’s current lifestyle, needs and desires. In other words, it should provide you the support you need to achieve your goals while assuring you have the amenities you want to lead a fulfilled life.
Here are the differences between the senior lifestyle options Senior Star has to offer.
Independent living communities are ideal for seniors who are looking for a maintenance-free lifestyle that allows them more time to enjoy the activities and hobbies they love. At Senior Star, this means never having to worry about cooking, cleaning, home maintenance or safe transportation.
Additionally, residents have access to a variety of amenities including private dining rooms, backyards and patio spaces, a number of wellness and fitness programs, and community events, all designed to ensure seniors can stay active, healthy and independent.

The type of assistance residents receive is completely personalized to their needs and includes anything from help getting dressed and medication management, to assistance getting safely around the community. Residents also have access to delicious and nutritious meals in a community-dining setting, so they never have to worry about cooking. Seniors can even receive meals tailored to their specific dietary needs.
At Senior Star, our assisted living lifestyle option also includes easy access to regular social events as well as a variety of recreational and wellness activities.

A diagnosis of Alzheimer’s or dementia can be difficult on both seniors and their families. A memory support community provides the specialized care residents need to find purpose, satisfaction and joy in every day.
At Senior Star, we work with seniors and their families to create personalized care plans that strive to preserve the routines, personal cultures and preferences of each resident. Additionally, we offer a number of signature programs that incorporate music, nostalgia, purpose and mindfulness to encourage the preservation of past memories while creating new experiences.
