What are luxury senior living communities?

Forward-thinking older adults want a sensible, confidence-inspiring plan. They’re drawn to a community-based lifestyle that includes in-house access to senior care — such as assisted living and memory care.

Plus, they love the services and amenities these communities include to make their daily lives simpler and more fulfilling.

But what moves such a lifestyle to the next level, edging a fine senior living community into luxury senior living territory? It’s in the details. State-of-the-art design, exceptional architecture, exemplary hospitality, premium programs, industry recognition — these define luxury senior living.

One provider with communities in Denver and Salt Lake City has earned such distinction: The Ridge Senior Living.

What is the difference between luxury senior living communities and other senior living communities?

The difference may be as simple as possibilities and people:

The Possibilities

Top-of-the-line amenities and nothing-left-to-chance services, plus beautifully designed settings that maximize comfort and convenience — it’s easy to see how such resort-style communities make for unparalleled lifestyles. Residents can live in a manner that suits them, freely pursue their interests, enjoy all the pampering they want, and discover their needs are reliably met every step of the way. Imagine the possibilities for luxuriously gratifying daily living!

The People

Hospitality is an art, and it’s practiced at The Ridge to perfection. Across our communities — from service team members to corporate office — The Ridge staff serves the single purpose of ensuring resident satisfaction. They know residents by name, accept and honor individuality, respect their privacy, and consistently meet or exceed expectations for providing help, finding answers, and always being close and prepared. So, imagine the luxury of living where you always feel recognized, appreciated and graciously served!

What amenities are typically offered in luxury senior living communities?

Surpassing expectations, our communities are designed and built to be the best of senior living. Elegant architecture, sublime interior design, high-end finishes — plus, fountains, fire pits, courtyards, and dining and gathering spaces created to give residents experiences they won’t find in any other community. Amenities here run the gamut from ideal to delightful and make daily living better:

• Housekeeping, maintenance, laundry and transportation services are wonderfully helpful, liberating you to spend more time with friends, family, hobbies and other interesting endeavors.
• For entertainment, the movie theater’s variety of films and shows, plus the indoor and outdoor entertainment areas’ scheduled programs — deliver excitement and amusement to your weekly plans.
• Our pet-friendly communities welcome the cats, dogs and other small animals that residents depend on as companions. Extending thoughtful hospitality to pet owners, The Ridge Pinehurst includes dedicated areas for pet care and an especially popular dog park.

Finally, at the apex of The Ridge Senior Living amenities list is Club Ridge at The Ridge Pinehurst. This 15,000-square-foot spa offers a burgeoning menu of pampering and wellness services. The full-service salon keeps you looking your healthiest best, and the fitness center keeps you fit, with personal trainers, heated indoor pool, saltwater lap pool, resistance pool, and Jacuzzi®.

What activities distinguish this luxury lifestyle?

Reflecting residents’ interests and preferences and nurturing mind and body, the activities calendars feature recurring favorites and special events. Fitness classes, study groups, guest speakers, and social gatherings — including themed parties, happy hours and community celebrations — are all designed to enrich lives with meaning, purpose and fulfillment.

Can community food services live up to the “luxury” billing?

Prepare to be amazed by the dining you’ll find at The Ridge. Locally sourced ingredients are scratch prepared under the watchful eyes of our experienced chefs and skilled culinary teams. And you can dine at your choice of venue — fast-casual, casual or fine dining.

Menus change seasonally, but favorites can always be found. Special dietary needs are met graciously. And if you don’t see what you crave on the menu, ask. True senior care means the culinary staff and attentive servers will do everything possible to satisfy your hunger — and deliver gourmet delights.

Finding luxury senior care communities for you.

Make yourself ready to search for luxury senior living by identifying what you need for a proper fit.

Lifestyle

What should your community offer you to ensure you can persevere in the manner to which you’re accustomed? You know your style — what you like and dislike — and you want to carry on, making few if any compromises. Luxury senior living doesn’t ask you to settle for less.

Location

Except for those who cross the country to find a senior living community, most prefer a community located where former neighbors and familiar, favorite services remain accessible. Luxury senior living offers transportation services — even while it provides a richly rewarding environment you may never want to leave — but the essence of luxury senior living is to keep you connected to the world you love.

Plan

Luxury or otherwise, choosing a senior living community is making a plan. A person’s life can certainly change with age, and an independent living community that provides on-campus access to assisted living, memory care and skilled nursing is a confidence-builder. Similarly, a care-centered assisted living, memory care or skilled nursing community reassures residents and their families that whatever’s needed can be easily provided — no matter what. And therein lies the luxury you’re looking for: peace of mind.

Cost

Unlike senior living communities that require a buy-in fee of several hundred thousand dollars, The Ridge Senior Living communities ask for a small one-time community fee and a monthly rental fee. These monthly rates compare favorably — in the Denver region and in Utah — to the monthly service fees required at buy-in communities, which suggests you can have a premium lifestyle without a premium price. And what a luxury that is!

The Salt Lake Region is home to The Ridge Cottonwood and The Ridge Foothill — a pair of exceptionally well-designed, luxury assisted living and memory care communities. If luxury means a beautiful place and tirelessly helpful staff, you’ll likely find your fit at Cottonwood or Foothill.
