Independent Living
What is Independent Living?
Glossary: Independent Living
Independent Living is for seniors who are able to live on their own in an apartment or house, but who want the convenience of living within a community that provides services and amenities such as housekeeping, social activities, dining, transportation, and/or the option of assistance with daily tasks or medical care if they need it later.

Five Star independent living services are designed to support and sustain active and engaged seniors. At Five Star, independent doesn’t mean alone: we offer a concierge model to make it easy for residents to access the services, activities, and resources they desire. Our trained staff and exciting programs keep seniors as busy as they choose to be.
Respite Care / Short-term Stays
What are Respite Care / Short-term Stays?
Glossary: Respite Care / Short-term Stays
Respite Care / Short-term Stays are great for seniors when families travel out of town or simply need a break from the stresses of caregiving. They can also be a good option for those considering senior living and want to "try it out" before making a long-term commitment. Short-term stays allow residents to enjoy housekeeping services, community activities, dining, and all other amenities enjoyed by our permanent residents. In addition to the benefits of physical care, our short-term residents often make friendships that enrich life in a way that only connecting with others can.

For seniors needing temporary care or whose family have to travel or take time for themselves – or for those who want to “test drive” life at one of our senior living communities – Five Star offers short stays. Whether for a week or a few months, seniors enjoy exceptional care, community activities, dining, and housekeeping services – and family members enjoy peace of mind.

At Five Star Senior Living, we invite residents into our senior living communities not just to live with us, but to thrive with us. It’s been widely publicized that adults are living longer but there is a lot of evidence that we aren’t necessarily living longer in a healthy state. Five Star is working to change that with our Lifestyle360 program - a holistic approach to active community living that focuses on five dimensions of wellness: intellectual, social, physical, emotional, and spiritual.
