Expert Guidance for Life's Next Chapter
Choosing a senior living community comes with many questions, and that’s exactly how it should be. We’ve gathered the most common ones we hear from residents and families, along with thoughtful answers to help you feel informed and confident at every step. Don’t see yours here? We’d love to hear from you!
What types of senior living options does Better Living offer?
Better Living communities offer independent living, assisted living, memory care, and respite care. Each community is designed to meet residents where they are today, with support that can adapt as needs change over time.
We invite you to find a community near you to learn more.
How is assisted living different from independent living?
Independent living is ideal for older adults who want a maintenance-free lifestyle with social opportunities and amenities, while assisted living adds personalized support with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, medication management, and more.
What is memory care?
Memory care provides specialized support for individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia, offering structured routines, secure environments, and team members trained in cognitive care and communication.
Better Days™ is Better Living’s signature memory care experience, built around Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs and powered by love. We go beyond meeting daily care requirements to nurture purpose, connection, and joy. One meaningful moment at a time.
Our Heart-First team creates personalized days filled with music, laughter, cherished routines, and “Memory Treasures” that celebrate each resident’s life story. Families are true partners, welcomed as part of the journey, so every resident feels safe, valued, and deeply loved.
What is respite care, and who is it for?
Respite care is a short-term stay designed for seniors who need temporary support, whether for recovery after a hospital visit, caregiver relief, or while family members travel. Guests receive full access to care, services, and amenities just like long-term residents.
What services are included in assisted living?
Services typically include personalized care assistance, chef-prepared meals, housekeeping, laundry, transportation, social activities, wellness programs, and 24-hour staff support, tailored to each resident’s needs.
How do I know which level of care is right for my loved one?
Choosing the right level of care starts with understanding how your loved one is managing daily life today, and where extra support may help. Key factors often include help with personal care (such as bathing, dressing, or medication management), mobility and fall risk, memory or cognitive changes, nutrition and meal preparation, and overall social engagement.
You don’t have to make this decision alone. Our teams work closely with families through a personalized assessment and conversation process to better understand needs, answer questions, and recommend the most appropriate level of care, both for today and as needs evolve over time.
Can residents transition between levels of care?
Yes. Many of our communities offer multiple levels of care, allowing residents to transition between independent living, assisted living, or memory care should needs evolve.
We invite you to find a community near you to learn more.
Does Better Living offer support for families during the transition process?
Absolutely! We understand that moving to a senior living community is a major decision. Our team provides guidance every step of the way, from answering questions to coordinating tours and helping ease the transition for families.
Does Better Living provide senior living management services?
Yes. In addition to operating communities, we partner with owners and operators to provide senior living management services. This includes operational support, compliance guidance, staffing strategies, and resident experience enhancement to help communities run smoothly and deliver exceptional care.
