Which Type of Senior Living is Best for Me?

How do I make the most out of my retirement with assisted living?

To live the life you want, you need to know your options. Some folks hit the open road, while others opt for a hassle-free lifestyle. If you’re looking to settle down after retirement and are thinking about senior living options, consider enjoying the freedom of assisted living in Southaven, MS.

What’s the difference between senior apartments and assisted living?

Sometimes called a 55+ community or age-restricted apartments, they both include many of the same assisted living community features, but not all. If you think assisted living is just a fancy term for nursing homes, we can’t wait to show you the difference. We are an active community that also serves your unique needs.

Why should I think beyond independent living?

Most older adults are relatively healthy, but planning for how long your health will last is tricky. Assisted living provides a chance to extend your level of independence. Our associates take care of tasks that are burdensome and could potentially cause falls or injury. The Goldton at Southaven provides price points tailored to your needs, eliminating additional fees for services you don’t need.
