Our Story:
The Conservatory Senior Living concept was developed as the result of a study we conducted of many existing independent senior facilities throughout the United States. That study indicated a need to create an independent senior residence that offered a more common sense and constructive approach to the problem of prolonging a quality lifestyle during the aging process.
In essence, we were able to confirm what we had suspected all along: long-term good health is a reflection of proper nutrition, a sensible physical fitness program and retention of cognitive brain function. Our Chefs are dedicated to offering a wide variety of the highest quality, freshly prepared meals created with heart-healthy ingredients, the team of certified Fitness Professionals at each of our Communities is solely focused on each individual’s physical needs and capabilities, and our Posit Science Brain Program improves “mental fitness.”
“Five-Star Dining”
Our on-site Executive Chefs are passionate about creating delicious and attractively presented meals, as well as an assortment of menu selections that vary daily. Our luxuriously appointed Grand Dining Room is open seating and you can eat with different people every day. The Dining Staff invites new Residents to sit with current members of our Communities so nobody eats alone. We have a social hour each afternoon in our Safari Lounge with freshly prepared snacks, where everyone can mingle and make new friends. Good food, a beautiful environment and social interaction all combine to create a delightful dining experience that is available to our Residents every day.
“Nova7 Award-Winning Wellness Program”
Our Wellness Program was developed specifically to address the special needs and physical limitations that come as a natural part of the aging process. Our Certified Trainers meet with each Resident to complete a comprehensive intake assessment that includes working with the individual’s personal physician to identify possible health concerns and the ability to participate in a supervised physical fitness program. Our Trainers then tailor a fitness plan that addresses each participant’s physical capabilities and needs. The result is a unique fitness program that improves balance, allows you to become more flexible, corrects posture, and increases your core strength.
“Posit Science Brain Fitness Program”
Conventional wisdom indicates that as we age we start to lose our hearing, our memory and our mental sharpness. Scientists now know the brain can “rewire” itself to strengthen its capabilities. This is called ‘brain plasticity.’ The Brain Fitness Program is designed to harness the power of brain plasticity to speed up auditory processing, improve working memory, and encourage the brain to produce more of the chemicals that help it remember. The Brain Fitness Program has been subjected to rigorous clinical trials that demonstrate it speeds up auditory processing by 131%, improves memory by an average of 10 years, and more. Program participants report that they absorb information faster, have improved memory, understand and communicate more easily and experience improvements in their hearing.
We have worked very hard in each of our Communities to create an atmosphere that welcomes everyone and encourages participation. 70 % of our Residents participate in our physical and mental fitness programs on a regular basis. When you become part of our family, you make new friends and you are encouraged to be concerned about your health. Most residents participate so it is easy and convenient to join in.
Many studies have shown that our health and well being are closely tied to the environment in which we live. The Conservatory is a warm residential environment that can best be described as a five star resort. We have pledged to keep our apartment suites and common areas residential in character, rather than institutional. The attention to detail and service makes our residents comfortable and assures them inner contentment. Our dedicated, on-site Teams work hard to establish a welcoming atmosphere for our new and existing Residents and their guests.
In addition to our focus on wellness, there are a myriad of other activities available. The activities offered in each of our Communities are based on the diverse interests of our Residents. They include a beautiful, 40-seat surround-sound movie theater, organized card games, billiards, Arts & Crafts, Cultural and Educational Programs and outings. Residents may choose to be as social and involved as they wish.
Each of our Conservatory properties is a Community unto itself and often the Residents coordinate group activities. In one of our Communities, the Residents organized a sewing group that donates their items to local hospitals - in another development, three of our Residents established a chorus which now boasts 50 members and performs at hospitals, nursing homes, and other places in the outside Community.
We strive to provide our Residents with a beautiful, welcoming environment that provides all the essentials for them to continue to be happy, vibrant, contributing members of society.
