Today’s seniors are changing the narrative of retirement. Rather than slowing down, they are embracing this new phase of life—one rich in purpose, adventure, connection, and joy. Empress Senior Living is leading the charge in this vibrant movement.

With nearly fifty years of expertise through Leisure Care, a pioneer in senior care innovation, Empress Senior Living is redefining what retirement entails. Providing assisted living and memory care services in a lively, resort-like environment, Empress inspires residents to discover joy and significance in each day while receiving tailored support.

Understanding Senior Living

Senior living communities—often known as retirement communities—are crafted to improve life quality for older adults by fostering a safe, engaging, and supportive atmosphere. These communities are for individuals who desire to stay active and social while enjoying the benefits of maintenance-free living.

At Empress Senior Living, residents relish the freedom to live as they wish. They reside in comfortable, private spaces while fully utilizing on-site amenities, engaging programs, and a strong community spirit. Support services like assisted living or memory care are on hand when needed, but the primary aim is to empower residents to live independently and fully.

The Leisure Care Difference

Leisure Care communities are committed to surpassing the expectations of seniors. With over five decades of experience, their senior living philosophy transcends mere care—it’s about lifestyle. At Empress Senior Living, this materializes into a comprehensive vision for health and happiness, referred to as the Five Dimensions of Wellness: Physical, Mental, Emotional, Social, and Communal well-being.

Here’s how Empress brings this vision to fruition:

1. Physical Wellness

Health serves as the cornerstone of well-being. Empress Senior Living incorporates physical fitness and nutrition into daily life through Leisure Care’s distinctive PrimeFit Wellness program. Residents can access fitness sessions, personal training, nutrition counseling, and wellness resources designed to meet individual goals and preferences. Whether it’s Zumba, yoga, or healthy meals prepared by chefs, every aspect nurtures a life of vitality.

2. Mental Wellness

Cognitive health is just as vital as physical health. Empress promotes brain stimulation through diverse mentally engaging activities, such as brain games, educational workshops, and lifelong learning courses. The aim is to keep the mind active, challenged, and sharp—cultivating confidence, independence, and mental agility.

3. Emotional Wellness

Creativity and self-expression are pivotal to a rewarding life. At Empress, residents are motivated to explore artistic avenues through art classes, writing workshops, music programs, and resident-led clubs. These opportunities encourage self-expression, enhance self-esteem, and forge deep emotional connections among peers.

4. Social Wellness

Community plays a crucial role. Empress provides a vibrant social setting with curated events, themed parties, group outings, and travel escapades. From happy hours and book clubs to excursions into Seattle’s lively cultural scene, there are countless ways to connect and forge meaningful relationships.

5. Communal Wellness

Empress Senior Living is committed to giving back. Community service forms a fundamental aspect of life here. Residents engage in volunteer efforts such as school supply drives, mentorship initiatives, charitable fundraisers, and Alzheimer’s awareness campaigns. This shared mission strengthens the community and offers residents the opportunity to make a genuine impact.

Tailored Care: Assisted Living & Memory Care

In addition to enhancing lifestyle, Empress delivers exceptional care services customized to each resident’s unique requirements. For those needing assistance with daily tasks like medication management, bathing, or mobility, assisted living services provide expert support without sacrificing independence.

For individuals facing cognitive challenges such as Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia, Empress presents specialized memory care. With personalized programming, soothing environments, and highly-trained staff, the memory care program is crafted to provide comfort, dignity, and safety for residents and their families.
