Help Navigating Your Options

We are telling you that “life is just a little easier here” but how do you get started? What can you expect living in a community and how will you ever feel at home? How do you know if you need assistance or if independent living is the better option? You are not alone and you are not the first person to ask. Please allow us to help guide you through these decisions, one step at a time.

Assisted Living


If I move into Assisted Living am I restricted from participating in the activities of those in Independent Living?

Residents in assisted living enjoy all the features, amenities and services of The Springs Living community.

How do I know if Assisted Living is right for me?

If you are requiring assistance with activities of daily living such as management of your medication, personal hygiene, dressing or grooming, then assisted living is probably a good fit over independent living. All residents will meet with qualified health services personnel for a thorough assessment prior to move in.
