Empress Senior Living is a truly special community that encourages residents to branch out and live a fulfilling lifestyle. After experiencing a fall and realizing it was time for assisted living, I explored several options but knew Empress was the perfect fit from the moment I walked in. The community is small, well-designed, and easy to navigate, making it feel like home rather than overwhelming. The amenities are fantastic: a lending library, a cozy movie theater, excellent transportation services, and more. But what truly sets Empress apart is the staff. They are kind, patient, and always willing to go the extra mile to personalize care for each resident. Beyond the fantastic support, the activities here are so much fun! I've been playing mini golf and bingo with my fellow residents, and it has been an absolute blast. There is always something to do, and everyone is included. If you want a warm, welcoming, and engaging senior living community, I highly recommend Empress!

As you age, are you looking for a conventional living space size, where meals are provided, and daily activities? Then the Empress is the right place for you and has convenient library, theater, transportation, and bi-weekly live performers during Happy Hour. Across the street is Met Market and there is laundry and housekeeping in-house.Perhaps you are worried about memory care and declining mobility. The Empress staff is friendly and trained to support the residents like they are your family. Exercise classes, memory games, and listening to recorded symphonies are some of our favorite activities. Perhaps you are even looking for a place to garden— The Empress has a rooftop garden! The Empress is a small community that feels like family!

We did an event here the other day. The staff were absolutely amazing and we witnessed them being very helpful! The facility was beautiful. Everything was so clean and organized. The residents seemed like they were having a great time with all the activities. Parking was really easy. Everyone was very kind and seem like very caring and wonderful people!

This facility, while impressive at first glance, is a luxury apartment complex masquerading as a healthcare facility. The management does not care about the wellbeing of residents, as evidenced by the blatant lies told to families to keep census up rather than residents safe. The management does not understand HIPAA, as evidenced here by recognizing family members within reviews, confirming residents that have lived in the facility. This facility jeopardized my nursing license. Be mindful most of the reviews here are not from families. Go to Aegis or literally anywhere else where actual procedures and policies are implemented, rather than fork over thousands at Leisure Care's discretion just to get your foot in the door for negligent, incompetent care. Ask how their non-refundable deposits are actually denoted.
