ASSISTED LIVING

A change in need or care does not have to signal a change in location. Many of our communities offer what the industry calls “continuum of care”. To put it simply, this means that a range of services are offered at one community, including independent living, assisted living, and sometimes even memory care.

Moving into assisted living at a Leisure Care community does not mean sacrificing your independence, privacy, dignity or giving up your active lifestyle. Your retirement is still yours to design, we are just here to help you along the way.

Choosing a community that offers a continuum of care will allow you to stay in your community, and often even in your own apartment if needs change over time and you find that you want some extra help. It’s just another way that our communities serve you.

By tailoring our services to meet the unique physical, social, and emotional needs of your loved one, we ensure that each day is filled with purpose and meaning.

We toured Mackenzie’s place a while back and really liked what they had to offer. We placed our granddad on the waiting list, and didn’t have to wait long to get the call about an opening! Savannah gave our whole family the tour and answered the 101 questions we had about the place. Our granddad has been living here for about 2 months and is really enjoying himself! It is amazing to see him get to be social and surrounded by people his age. There are a TON of activities, a gym and even a full on movie theater. The staff are fantastic and always helpful. It’s in a very great location making it super easy for our whole family to stop by at any time. My boyfriend and I visit him at least once a week to see him, grab a cheap beer and eat at the restaurant (which I really have zero complaints about, the food is actually really good!) Overall Mackenzie’s place is a vibe, I might just need to put my name on the waiting list for when it’s my time haha

I come here to visit a family member of mine and my Uncle loves it here and has no complaints with the staff, but the little short haired gal who works the front desk on weekday afternoons is always so rude. You would think someone who's job involves hospitality would be a little friendlier, but interacting with her is dreadful every time. The other gal who works the desk is always so nice and helpful.
