Aging Excellence
Aging Excellence provides home care, memory care, and respite care. Home care includes personal care and household support, allowing someone to receive help with daily needs at home. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for a person at risk of wandering, while respite care offers a short-term stay when a family caregiver needs time to travel or recover. Aging Excellence may be a good fit for someone who needs supervised memory care or for a family caregiver seeking short-term support.
Aging Excellence opened in 1998. Its programs include 24-hour personal care, social companionship, household support and chore services, Aging Life Care Management, specialty and memory care, multi-generational family support, telephone reminders, and handyman and yardcare services. The facility also has 24-hour staffing, so support is available around the clock.
Residents have access to a pool, transportation, and a wellness program, providing on-site recreation, travel support, and wellness activities. A Walk Score of 46 places the area in a car-dependent setting, where most errands require a car or a ride, so someone who no longer drives would need transportation or assistance for routine errands.
