When exploring senior living options, many people want to know what levels of care are available. Choosing a community with several options means that older adults can remain in a familiar environment even as their needs change.
Havenwood Senior Living communities offer a range of support—including independent living, assisted living, and memory care—so each resident can thrive at every stage.
Independent Living: A Lifestyle of Freedom
Independent living is designed for seniors who are active, engaged, and ready to enjoy a simpler, maintenance-free lifestyle. For IL residents, it is less about needing daily help and more about choosing convenience, social connection, and peace of mind.
Independent living residents at our communities enjoy:
- Modern, private apartments
- Weekly housekeeping, linen service, and full maintenance support
- Chef-prepared meals served in welcoming dining venues
- Clubs, fitness sessions, lifelong learning programs, and social events
- Scheduled transportation for errands, medical visits, and community outings
Independent living provides an excellent option for older adults who want to stay active without the burdens of home upkeep. And with additional levels of care available on our Havenwood campuses, we also offer future security for unexpected changes.
Assisted Living: Daily Support with Dignity
Assisted living combines the privacy of a personal residence with the reassurance of daily support. It’s ideal for those who benefit from help with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), such as mobility, bathing, or medication management.
Assisted living services at Havenwood communities include:
- Daily AM/PM assistance with grooming and dressing
- Medication reminders and wellness monitoring
- Delicious, freshly prepared meals shared with neighbors
- Movement classes such as yoga, balance training, or guided exercise
- Community programs, entertainment, and social activities
Residents enjoy comfort, safety, and companionship, while families appreciate the presence of compassionate caregivers available 24/7.
Memory Care: Specialized Support for Alzheimer’s and Dementia
For individuals navigating Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia, memory care provides a secure and nurturing environment designed to reduce stress and spark meaningful engagement. Havenwood’s memory care services emphasize dignity, familiarity, and consistent routine.
Memory care at our communities includes:
- Secure, easy-to-navigate spaces with enclosed outdoor courtyards
- Team members trained specifically in dementia and behavioral support
- Structured routines to minimize anxiety and promote stability
- Purposeful activities such as music therapy, art, and reminiscence exercises, with sensory support
- Tailored assistance with meals, hygiene, and daily activities
- Signature programs like our Heartfelt Connections – A Memory Care Program® tailored to each resident’s specific needs and preferences
Families have greater peace of mind knowing their loved ones are cared for by a team that’s skilled in supporting cognitive changes with patience and compassion.
Why These Senior Living Options Matter
Havenwood communities that offer independent living, assisted living, and memory care provide invaluable continuity. Residents can transition smoothly between levels of care without relocating, preserving relationships, routines, and comfort. This consistency improves well-being and reduces stress for everyone involved.
Overcoming Common Misconceptions
Many people still imagine senior living as clinical or isolating—but modern communities like ours are the opposite. Today’s senior living environments are:
- Beautifully designed, welcoming, and homelike
- Filled with opportunities for enrichment, movement, and connection
- Staffed by dedicated professionals who tailor support to each resident
- Focused on fostering independence and individuality
Our approach to senior living at Havenwood is centered on empowerment, not restriction.
