Highgate Senior Living is an attractive
'Manor House' with a campus that is nestled in quiet
neighborhood surroundings.
At Highgate we provide
independent retirement living, assisted living,
and separate/secure memory care for those with
Alzheimer's
or other forms of dementia.
When you walk into a
Highgate community, you have the feeling of entering
into a country inn but with personal services that
take care of your every need.
The 'Manor' at all of our Highgate communities is
a smaller apartment community. Because of
the cozy size it's easier to move about the building
for meals and activities and to meet and interact
with other residents.
Although each of our Highgate locations are a bit
different in the sizes of apartments offered, residents
have a choice of a spacious studio, alcove, one
bedroom, or two bedroom apartment - complete with
kitchenette, refrigerator, microwave and a private
bath with a large walk-in shower. You are free to
furnish and decorate your new apartment as you wish
and small pets are welcome - so your new surroundings
will immediately feel like home.
For those who want complete independent living,
but access to the services and amenities of The
Manor, some of our locations also have the choice
of our beautiful two bedroom
Duplex Villa
Retirement
Homes that are located conveniently but separately
on the Highgate campus.
Highgate provides a continuum of care that can accommodate
changing needs of a resident:
-

gives peace of mind that help is only seconds
away in an emergency
-
Assisted Living for those needing help with
activities of daily living and limited nursing
services
-
Enhanced Care for the declining senior needing
full assistance and support
-
Our secure Memory Care Cottage provides loving
individualized care in a safe, homelike environment
for seniors afflicted with Alzheimer's or other
forms of dementia.
Something for everyone
If you love gardening but find it hard on your back,
our waist-high planters in our gardener's courtyard
may be just the answer. There's a full kitchen in
the Activity Room. It's perfect for entertaining
family and friends with plenty of comfortable seating
for family potlucks and birthday celebrations. And
it's the perfect place for baking cookies with those
special grandchildren. Our full-time Activities
Director caters to all interests and encourages
involvement. From impromptu sing-a-longs at our
Grand Piano to a trip down memory lane with an old
or new-found friend, there's always something interesting
to do at Highgate
Convenient Design
The Manor at Highgate is a smaller apartment community.
Our smaller size is warm and welcoming with beautiful
landscaped gardens and courtyards. Due to the cozy
size of our community, it is easier for our residents
to independently find their way around the building
for meals and activities…and to meet and interact
with other residents. Our residents are encouraged
to spend much of their time in the common areas
of our community as most research indicates
that socialization is the most important key in
slowing down decline due to aging.
At Highgate, we provide an array of areas in our
building to interest and delight residents and families
alike…
-
A luxurious Spa where a resident can be
pampered with a massage or spa bath and
indulge in therapeutic aromatherapy
-
Cozy and private fireplace nooks where a
resident can curl up
-
Game rooms to keep minds challenged
-
Arts and crafts areas
-
Television room
-
A beautifully appointed grand dining room.
Of course, our residents can always be pampered
in the lovely Highgate Beauty/Barber Shop.
Specialized Retirement and Assisted Living
Environment
Highgate offers a unique
Program…called Life Enhancement that is
specifically designed to create a day...every
day...for the older adult. It is due to our unique
programming that an aging adult needing assistance
will generally thrive in our elegant, non-institutional,
and less restricted environment. At Highgate the
every day life of a resident is enhanced and structured
with:
- Active Participation in familiar music activities
- Opportunity and encouragement to complete
mentally challenging tasks
- Aromatherapy and spa events designed to rejuvenate
or relax depending on the need
- Baking and cooking to Woodworking and crafts to keep the creative
part of the mind alive
- Gardening, potting, and flower arranging
- Daily exercise class as well as walking and
dancing
Our Programming is Based on Current
Research
Research has demonstrated that aging adults
who socialize and participate in these types
of events will stay vital longer… and decline
much more slowly… than their peer who is isolated
and living alone.

Activities and
Programming.
Meals and Hydration
At Highgate, our residents are treated like royalty
in our finely appointed dining room. They are presented
with choices at all three meals from which they
are welcome to select their favorite “home-style”
cuisine. At Highgate, we know that mealtime is an
important part of the day…both socially and nutritionally.
Additionally, we understand that dehydration is
the underlying cause of 90% of hospitalizations
for older adults…so we provide plenty of opportunity
for our residents to keep hydrated by providing
a beverage bar as well as always offering a favorite
beverage during or after each hourly activity.
The Highgate Team
At Highgate, we believe our most important ingredient
is our staff. From our nursing department, housekeeping,
maintenance, activities, and our dietary department
we pride ourselves in hiring exceptionally caring
people who have chosen to provide loving care
to our residents. Highgate is unique in the
fact that we employ professional individuals
and then we highly train them in the "stages
of decline" due to aging. Therefore residents,
families, and staff have the best resources
available when problems arise.
We spend our lives searching for comfort, security,
and a feeling of belonging. For an aging adult,
these basic human needs are no less important.
Actually, At Highgate Senior Living, we believe
they are more so. Each resident’s individual
capabilities are encouraged, their inabilities
understood, no matter what the level of care
required. They are encouraged to enjoy each
and every day to the fullest extent of their
abilities - with independence, privacy, friendship,
dignity and love. At Highgate, our goal is to
be known in the community we serve as:
Experts in Aging.
