Yes! Experience Senior Living is extremely pet-friendly within all our levels of care. According to a recent study by the American Academy of Neurology, having a pet is linked to decreased stress and lower blood pressure, which contributes to a sharper memory. Having a pet is also linked to a higher level of physical activity. Even if you don’t have a pet of your own, plenty of our communities have animal therapy for residents.

When looking at different senior living communities, you will want to understand what levels of care the community provides. Also, what level of training the staff receives is important to know before moving into a memory care community. Other questions to ask about are the types of rooms available, the level of personal assistance residence can expect, food and allergy accommodation, if the senior living community is pet friendly, and more.

Memory care communities tend to have a smaller neighborhood with higher care partner to resident ratio in a secured environment. Some memory care residents may need more help with daily life when compared to a resident in assisted living. Although memory care communities tend to those with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia, we believe that residents should experience the same high standards no matter where their apartment is located in the building. We focus on providing high quality resident experiences in dining, social opportunities, and care.
