Select Care

Select Care is available at every Lifetimes Living community and provides personalized support for residents who want a little more ease in their day. It’s a flexible, adaptable service that can grow or scale back as needs change. Select Care focuses on four key areas of support that help residents feel comfortable, well, and connected while continuing to enjoy an independent lifestyle.

  • Health & wellness monitoring – Ongoing check-ins and coordination that help residents stay well and manage their health with reassurance.
  • Lifestyle and household services – Extra services that make daily life easier, from household tasks to gentle help with routines.
  • Community connection – Encouragement and support that make it easier to join activities, stay social, and feel part of community life.

Enhanced Care

Enhanced Care offers more consistent, hands-on support for residents who benefit from guidance and assistance throughout the day. With a focus on comfort, familiarity, and one-to-one attention, this approach provides responsive care that evolves over time so residents can continue living in the community they know and trust as their needs change.

  • Daily personal support – Consistent, hands-on assistance with everyday routines, personal care, and mobility, helping residents feel comfortable, supported, and at ease throughout the day.
  • Cognitive and emotional support – Gentle cueing, guidance, and reassurance that help residents stay oriented, reduce stress, and feel calm and engaged in daily life.
  • Health & Wellness Oversight – Ongoing monitoring, medication support, and coordinated care that respond to changing needs and provide peace of mind for families.
  • Safety and supervision – Thoughtful oversight and enhanced staffing presence, with regular check-ins and supportive guidance to help residents feel secure and never alone.
  • Dining support and dedicated spaces – Assistance with meals and access to quieter, supportive dining environments that make mealtimes more comfortable and enjoyable.
  • Aging in place – Flexible support that adapts over time, allowing residents to remain in the comfort of their community as care needs evolve.

Short stays

Short stays offer all the comfort and support of community living on a temporary basis. They are ideal for trial stays, recovery periods, or when additional support is needed for a short time. Available at all Lifetimes communities, depending on suite availability.
