Our culture encourages us to remain in our own homes throughout life. While many people do so successfully, there are others who feel bored, isolated or depressed. Some homebound seniors don't eat well, and have difficulty managing their medications. Many who live alone are also at risk of falling without help nearby.

What really matters to all of us is our quality of life. Everyone needs stimulating activities and outings. Our vitality depends on appetizing, well-balanced meals. We require friends who share our interests, and most of all, feelings of security and well-being.

Moving from home into a retirement community can meet all of these needs, but we recognize that it's a major life transition. That's why we make it a joyous one filled with beautiful surroundings, new friendships, and encouragement to continue growing.

We at Casa de Flores believe that:

• Everyone is an unfinished product, and every day brings a new opportunity to learn and grow. That's why we encourage each resident to relish spontaneity, be creative, and to feel a sense of purpose.
• Beyond physical health, well-being relies on freedom of choice, socialization, and nurturing of the spirit.
• One of the best ways to nurture the spirit is through nature: lovely gardens, scores of songbirds, and vases overflowing with fresh-cut flowers.
• Like a fine hotel or cruise ship, the best senior residence is focused on hospitality, while also providing personal care with dignity. The quality of life here must be worth leaving home for.
• The term "assisted living" means a tailored personal care plan that can be stepped up or down as the resident’s capabilities change.
• Helping residents and their families stay close is an important part of our residents' well-being.
