Pay My Bill

Your loved one deserves to live the best life possible

Watch your loved one thrive in an environment that feels like home

Navigating the aging journey is difficult.

We understand what’s at stake here: it’s not just someone, it’s your loved one.

Meanwhile, it’s on you to make the difficult decisions.

There's a Higher Path for our seniors

The Senior's Journey

There are two paths that seniors take as they age: the lower path and the higher path

Senior care today is reactive, expensive, and siloed. It’s a sick-care system, not a health-care system (designed to keep seniors healthy). Most of us have accepted this status quo because it feels too big and complex to change. Not us. We’re taking the road less traveled and championing a higher standard of senior care.

County Fair Day projects! What a fantastic job the residents did! While not everyone was interested in doing a project, they were all encouraged and our BFMS, directing staff, and leadership team all helped those who wanted a project and needed assistance! Thanks St.Croix for donating the stepping stones and Becky for helping!
