No matter where you are in life’s journey, home is meant to be a place of comfort and enjoyment. Our neighborhood offers a beautiful blend of privacy, safety, security and community to create a warm and familiar environment.
If you or a loved one is looking for a senior living community where residents are respected and heard, we’d love to meet you.
Our Community
Emerald City is full of opportunities for you or your loved ones to live an exciting, adventurous, social and luxurious lifestyle with top-of-the-line amenities and services to accommodate our residents’ individual lifestyles. We are a community focused on helping maintain a vibrant, purposeful life. Our community is designed to provide a lifestyle that enhances your life as you age.
Services
We understand that, like most things in life, care plans aren’t one-size-fits-all. That’s why we’re proud to offer Assisted Living, Memory Care and Respite Care options. Our priority is to accommodate your individual needs.
Assisted Living
If there comes a time when you or a loved one needs more help to get through their day, Emerald City’s assisted living care services can help. Our Assisted Living program is designed to help you live a vibrant life by connecting with the people and community around you.
In addition to the usual meals, activities and maintenance, residents can also get any combination of support services, like medication management, help with bathing and dressing, and incontinence management.
Memory Care
Our Memory Care program provides an intimate and cozy community for our residents with dementia and Alzheimer’s. Our highly trained staff works with our residents on a daily basis to support them through their memory loss.
Respite Care
For a lot of caregivers, taking care of their loved ones is a full-time job. The idea of going out of town for a weekend or an unexpected short-term change in care needs, like doctor’s orders after being discharged from the hospital, is a serious stressor for caregivers who already feel worn thin. If you’re a caregiver who needs some extra help for a few weeks or days, respite care might be the perfect fit.
Our Respite Care program gives caregivers an opportunity to take a temporary break for any and all reasons while offering Respite Care guests access to the amenities and care that we offer on a daily basis.
What is respite care?
Respite care is a temporary stay at a senior living community, often suggested for seniors who are recovering from a hospital visit, fall, surgery or other health circumstance, but is also available for caregiver vacations, senior living trial periods or any other reason. Our respite care provides the peace of mind of on-site care staff, prepared meals and enrichment opportunities, without the long-term commitment.

We moved my dad into Emerald City in October and they have been great. The staff communicate well and have been responsive to my questions and my dad’s needs. The place is bustling with regular activities in the common areas and there really seems to be a sense of community among the residents.
