Spectra Properties’ sole focus is senior living development with the goal of delivering the highest quality services for Active Adult, Assisted Living and Memory Care Communities while providing space for aging in place with dignity, respect, comfort, and minimal displacement. This is the cornerstone of our commitment to residents.
Aging in place requires seamless execution in holistic wellness programming for mind, body and spirit. It requires a great sensitivity to residents’ unique needs and desires for this phase of their life and requires a caring, trained staff that recognizes and administers individualized services.
As Baby Boomers move into retirement there will be a greater demand for Senior Living to be a place of CHOICE. As families grow more geographically separated because of employment or other family needs, it will become common for seniors to desire an active community where they, as couples or individuals, can age, downsize, and simplify their lives in a safe, wellness-based, stimulating environment. We have the oppurtunity to provide upscale options many Seniors desire where family and friends can gather with ease.
