About Good Life Senior Living

If you are looking for care for your loved one who struggles with Memory, Dementia, or just needs Assisted Care, at Good Life, we offer a smaller, more intimate, and more personal setting for our residents to call home. Being at home is such an important part of achieving a higher level of care. When a resident moves into our community, they become a part of our family. By getting to know each resident and their family individually, we can better tailor the experience, and care, that our residents receive. Here, you’re not just a number, you’re not just another person living here – you’re part of our family.

Assisted Care

Our assisted care suites are designed for 24-hour care with one-on-one service. If you are recovering from an injury, illness, or if your stay is long term or short, we will provide the best care possible to meet your needs.

Each resident has their own private studio style suites that include a full bathroom, low-step showers, grab bars, heated floors, emergency response systems, and ample living area to give the residence the feeling of independence as possible.

We work closely with your primary health care physician to ensure that your care is on track to help you regain or maintain your independence. We will also provide transportation to and from appointments, laundry, weekly housekeeping, shower assistance, personal hygiene, and medication administration. Three home-cooked meals are provided every day, eat in our private dining room, or in your own suite... although we do encourage eating in the dining room to create a family atmosphere.

It is important to hold scheduled and unscheduled activity programs, and these are provided in the care suites every day to help maintain the residents spirit and well being. Our activity program is a very important part of what we do. Each day, you’ll find staff visiting with residents, playing cards, reminiscing, and much more. Many of our activities in the Assisted Care Suites are designed for the resident's abilities.

Memory Care

Our memory and dementia care community provides assistance for seniors with memory loss issues. This special residence is designed to care exclusively for residents with Alzheimer’s Disease or other forms of memory impairments. Close supervision is provided 24 hours a day in a secure, friendly, residential atmosphere.

One of the best advantages of living in our community is the care of our residents and the support we give to their families. Supportive services are available 24 hours a day, to meet scheduled and unscheduled needs, in a way that promotes maximum dignity and independence for each resident and involves the resident’s family, neighbors, and friends.

We take a forward look at how personal and health-related services are offered to our resident’s. Because we understand that no two people are alike in their needs, we have created levels of service to better serve our residents. With each level, residents needs are assessed by our Registered Nurse and Program Coordinator to determine with the family which levels best suits their needs. We take the time to get to know your family member as a person. Both personal and health-related services are offered to our residents to help them stay as independent as possible, for as long as possible.

What Makes Us Special

Our ultimate goal for this community is to offer something special; peace of mind for families knowing that their loved ones are cared for, a unique state of the art facility, and treat everyone with compassion. We are family owned and operated.
