Assisted & Independent Living (AL/IL)
The provision of Proactive and Preventative quality health care as well as our own brand of personal support services is a key to allowing for the greatest measure of personal dignity and independence to our residents.
We know a caring, professional environment is a comfort to both the patient and the family, when a resident is in need of restorative nursing care for post-hospital recovery, temporary care for illnesses and injuries or long term care.
We also know a change in the level of care for any resident is taken very seriously and involves input from the resident, family members and the health care staff. Active Life's health care is designed to allow residents to retain as high a level of personal independence for as long as possible before making a move. When totally independent living becomes difficult, a resident can simply shift to an assisted living level of care.

Wellness Programs
Our Wellness Program is designed to help residents stay well and remain independent for as long as possible.
Active Life's philosophy of health care is based on the concept of a partnership between residents and staff to assure both the optimal level of health care services and the independent functioning of residents. The on-site clinic and the wellness department work hand-in-hand to enable residents to maintain their health and to prevent injuries.
Directed by professional staff, the Wellness Program is the first step in maintaining long-term health. The staff facilitates activities and helps residents develop individual fitness programs designed to meet their specific goals. It works in tandem with our rehabilitation therapy programs and residents to provide balanced fitness programs for all.
In addition, the fully-equipped fitness room, walking programs, and an array of exercise classes and community activities keep Active Life patients young at heart. Our wellness programs encourage staff and residents to interact in activities for fitness, fun and fellowship. We offer four specialized programs:
- Happy Feet
- Happy Minds
- Worker Injury Reduction Program
- Fall Reduction for Assisted & Independent Living Residents
