Independence first — support when you want it
Maintenance-free apartment living with chef-prepared dining and a team on call 24/7. Pay for hands-on care only when you need it.
Who thrives here
- Mostly independent today
Meals, housekeeping, and transportation handled — plus a safety net if something changes overnight.
- Medication peace of mind
Nurse oversight and emergency response without moving to hands-on bathing or dressing support yet.
- Couples, different needs
Separate care plans in the same apartment as needs diverge — no forced separation.
- Routines slipping at home
Missed meals, laundry piling up, or driving stress — common signals, not a single bad week.
Simple rent + flexible care points
Apartment rent covers the residence, utilities, all-day dining, housekeeping, transportation, and activities.
Care Points are à la carte — medication reminders, escorts, bathing help — and flex monthly.
EmpowerMe / Restore therapy is available on site, often with Medicare Part B when medically necessary.
Loneliness carries health risks comparable to smoking 15 cigarettes a day — built-in community is not a nice extra, it is clinical prevention.

Frequently asked questions
- Is Light Assisted Living the same as Independent Living?
- No. Light Assisted Living adds 24/7 care managers, nursing oversight, medication support, and emergency response — even if you rarely need hands-on help.
- Does Medicare or Medicaid pay for Light Assisted Living?
- Medicare does not cover room and board. Long-term care insurance, VA Aid & Attendance, and private pay are common. We help review benefits.
- Can a couple with different care needs live together?
- Yes. Separate care plans and Care Points billed individually so each spouse gets only the support they need.
- What is included in the monthly rent?
- Apartment, utilities (except phone), all-day dining, housekeeping, laundry, transportation, and 200+ activities. Hands-on care is billed as Care Points.
- What happens if my parent's care needs increase?
- Care Points scale in place. Transitional or memory care is available within the same community when needed.
- How quickly can someone move in?
- Most move-ins complete in two to four weeks after tour and assessment. Respite can be faster.
