Independent Living

Independent Living is ideal for seniors who are active, healthy, and want to enjoy a simplified, maintenance-free lifestyle within a vibrant, social community. It’s designed for those who can live on their own but appreciate the convenience, amenities, and peace of mind that come with community living.
Accommodations may include private apartments, ranging from studios to two- or three-bedroom layouts, or cottage-style residences—typically smaller, single-level homes, often with attached garages.
These communities offer a variety of services and amenities, including:
-
Housekeeping and linen service
-
Chef-prepared meals
-
Social activities and outings
-
Fitness and wellness programs
-
Scheduled transportation
-
24/7 security or emergency call systems
Independent Living is great for those looking to downsize, simplify daily routines, and build new friendships. Many communities also emphasize health and wellness to help residents stay active and independent for as long as possible.
It’s important to note that medical care is typically not included in Independent Living, however, it can vary by community.

“The help and guidance Edie gave in finding a home for my father was invaluable. She knew the questions to ask and how to guide me in making the decisions for my Dad. My husband and I could not have made these decisions without Edie. My father is happy and safe in his new place. Thank you, Edie, for your help and guidance.”

Assisted Living

Assisted Living is an excellent option for seniors who value their independence but need a little extra support with day-to-day tasks. It bridges the gap between Independent Living and Skilled Nursing Care, offering a safe, home-like environment with just the right level of help to maintain autonomy.
Residents live in private or shared apartments and enjoy a maintenance-free lifestyle, with services such as:
-
Housekeeping and laundry
-
Utilities and scheduled transportation
-
Three chef-prepared meals and snacks daily
-
Life enrichment activities and social outings
Assistance with personal care is available 24/7 and may include:
-
Bathing, grooming, and dressing
-
Medication management or reminders
-
Mobility support
-
Access to healthcare providers or therapy services
Assisted Living communities are thoughtfully designed to promote independence while offering peace of mind through around-the-clock support. Each community varies in the specific services it provides, but all are centered around helping residents live comfortably, safely, and with dignity—surrounded by a vibrant community and meaningful engagement opportunities.
Memory Care

Memory Care is a specialized type of long-term care designed for individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of progressive dementia. It offers a safe, structured, and supportive environment for those who can no longer live safely at home or require more support than Assisted Living can provide.
These communities are thoughtfully designed to address the unique challenges of memory loss, with features such as:
-
Secure environments to prevent wandering and ensure resident safety
-
24/7 supervision by staff trained in dementia care
-
Structured daily routines to reduce confusion and anxiety
-
Therapeutic programming and activities to promote cognitive function and engagement
-
Support for activities of daily living (ADLs) such as bathing, dressing, and eating
-
Family education and caregiver support resources
While individuals may begin their dementia journey with care at home, the progression of the disease often leads to increasing needs that home care services may no longer be able to meet safely or effectively. Memory Care provides a compassionate, professionally managed solution—prioritizing dignity, quality of life, and peace of mind for both residents and their families.

“Edie is top notch! She went above and beyond to find the perfect fit for my mother-in-law. I would highly recommend Guiding Seniors to help guide you in the right direction.”

Adult Care Homes

Adult Care Homes are licensed residential homes that care for up to six residents, offering a warm, intimate alternative to larger senior living communities. With a lower resident-to-caregiver ratio, these homes are ideal for seniors who need more personalized attention or have care needs that vary throughout the day and night.
Each Adult Care Home is unique, with the level and type of care varying based on the home’s license, staff expertise, and areas of specialization. Some are operated by licensed nurses or hire trained professionals to support residents with dementia, Alzheimer’s, or complex medical needs.
Key features include:
-
Care for up to six residents in a home-like setting
-
Individualized care plans based on thorough assessments and resident preferences
-
Lower caregiver-to-resident ratios, often exceeding state minimums
-
Specialized care for memory loss or medical complexities
-
Continuity and flexibility, ideal for residents with changing or unpredictable needs
AFH owners and staff undergo rigorous training before providing direct care and are required to complete ongoing continuing education to maintain high-quality standards. With a focus on comfort, familiarity, and relationship-based care, Adult Care Homes are a meaningful option for seniors who want to be treated like family in a supportive, home-style environment.
