Living with Purpose, at Every Stage of Aging

At Highgate, we believe purposeful living doesn’t end with age—it evolves. Every person carries a lifetime of roles and identities: mother, father, teacher, artist, coach, nurse, gardener, friend. These titles tell stories of love, service, and impact.

In earlier seasons of life, we’re surrounded by activity and responsibility. We have people who rely on us, places to be, things to do. But as we grow older, those rhythms can shift. Retirement, loss, or changes in family dynamics can leave seniors feeling isolated, uncertain, or without direction.

Without a renewed sense of purpose, it’s easy to feel disconnected—and that disconnection can affect both emotional and physical well-being. That’s why, at Highgate, we help residents rediscover what gives their life meaning today—through connection, creativity, community, and care.

It’s Our Mission

Our mission at Highgate is to devote ourselves to helping every resident live a life of purpose. During our Purposeful Living Interview with new residents, we take the time to truly know each one—their story, their family, their interests, and their passions—so that regardless of age or ability, we can support them in living a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling.

“Life at Highgate is full of choices. We make it our business to find out the individual preferences of our residents, who have the freedom and flexibility to live a life that is truly their own.”

Howard N. Addison, Founder, Highgate Senior Living

We believe the key to aging well is staying engaged—mentally, physically, socially, and spiritually. That means continuing to do what brings joy, while also embracing new experiences, friendships, and skills. At Highgate, helping residents stay connected to what they love—and discover new purpose along the way—is at the heart of everything we do.
