Senior Living in Lexington, KY
We recognize that Seniors are wanting to live their lives well, doing the things they love, and staying active in a community that makes sure they have choices and support available to get everything they need to do just that. Our concept of wellness in senior living integrates all aspects of wellness, involving the whole person, and centers around the physical, social, intellectual, spiritual, and emotional. You’ll find that everything we do in our community is aimed at improving your mind, body, and spirit. We’re excited to inform you that as of October 2019 we began redefining wellness in senior living by offering On-Site Outpatient Therapy! We are proud to partner with the following healthcare organizations:
