Senior Community
Site Visit Checklist
If you’re searching for a senior community, plan ahead for your site visit. Get tips on what to look for and how to connect with the care team.
Our Impact
In our Love Kits, our love notes remind seniors they are loved and the senior activity reminds the caregiving staff what lights the seniors up—their favorite color, music, food. Our “You are Wonderful” pins show appreciation for the caregiving staff. And our sweet treats and Spotify playlist add the final touches for a celebratory afternoon.
Our portraits capture the spirit of seniors and caregivers, reminding themselves and their loved ones how much they are loved and appreciated.
Our caregiver guides support all caregivers—paid or unpaid—so they know they’re not alone in their caregiving journeys.
