Enjoy a perfect day at The Birches
At The Birches, our assisted living community feels like home because it is. Life here is about encouraging independence with just the right amount of support, so Members can spend their days doing what matters most to them. Whether it’s enjoying quiet moments, staying active, or simply relaxing in familiar surroundings, each day is shaped by personal choice.
We believe that support should never feel intrusive. Instead, it should blend in as a natural part of life. There when you need it and quietly available in the background when you don’t. That’s what makes assisted living at The Birches feel easy, comfortable, and, above all, personalized to your needs.
At The Birches, no two days look the same, and that’s exactly the way it should be.
In the mornings, some Members enjoy a peaceful start with coffee and an enjoyable book in their apartment home. Others head to breakfast with neighbors or enjoy a walk outdoors. There’s no rush, no rigid schedule, just a calm, supportive rhythm that adapts to each person’s preferences.
Members enjoy daily help with things like medication reminders, housekeeping, and laundry when they need it, but they’re still very much in control. With fewer daily stressors, there’s more time and energy to focus on what brings joy, meaning, and connection.
With three-chef prepared meals a day, mealtimes include more than just good food. They offer moments to connect and embrace that sense of belonging. Members can choose from a variety of meal options, sit with friends or solo, and decide when they’d like to dine. The experience is flexible and respectful where no one is rushed or limited.

Afternoons might include a favorite activity, a trip to the on-site salon, time with family, or simply relaxing. Our team is always nearby to offer a helping hand or a listening ear, without ever taking over. We offer a variety of interest-led programs that reflect what our Members genuinely care about. Whether it’s a creative workshop, a wellness class, or a resident-led club, everything is designed to be engaging, choice-driven, and enjoyable.
And because our community is designed with intention from accessible spaces to clear layouts, Members can navigate and participate with ease. Every activity is an opportunity to share, grow, and feel part of something meaningful.
Throughout each day, our team offers gentle, respectful support while making sure every Member’s routine remains their own.
