Q: What does Aging in Place mean?
A: It's a natural progression of life changes that occur as one gets older. Our facilities and communities are designed to provide a continuum of care so that a resident doesn't have to move each time he or she is faced with a change because of age. This allows our residents to enjoy the comfort of their own homes as long as possible by providing increased levels of care to accommodate the aging process.
