Life Well Lived

Senior living communities vary in services and amenities. You should choose what is important to you and your lifestyle.

“They have a lot of activities for my father to participate in like bible study, arts and crafts, games, sing-alongs and everything. They have a recreation room, they have movies for them, and he has his own mailbox. They go on a lot of day trips, take them for a ride in the country or visit the Salvation Army or Goodwill store. They take them out during the day so they’re not indoors all the time. My dad likes the way the place is set up. They have a nice common room for everybody to gather in, the dining room is very well-kept and the recreational room is well-equipped.” ~ Daughter of a Resident

We Keep Couples Together

We value the peace of mind of keeping couples together—it’s their home, after all. We work to meet their preferences and needs while spouses continue to live in the same apartment. Offering special mixed-care plans to help couples stay together while providing the care each needs whether living independently with your spouse in personal care or staying together in a secure memory care neighborhood.

Pets are Welcome, too

We welcome pets in all levels of care. In fact, we even have house pets for residents, visitors and co-workers to enjoy at their leisure. And therapy pets visit frequently. Ecumenical truly is a pet-friendly and pet-loving senior living community.

Butterfly Waystation

Butterfly Monarch WaystationEach fall hundreds of millions of butterflies migrate from the U.S. and Canada to mountains in Central Mexico to wait out the winter until conditions favor a return flight in the spring. Monarch Waystations are places that provide resources necessary for monarch butterflies to produce successive generations and sustain their migration.

Without milkweed throughout their spring and summer breeding areas in North America, monarchs would not be able to produce the successive generations that culminate in the migration each fall. Similarly, without the nectar from host flowers (like in Ecumenical’s gardens), these fall migratory monarch butterflies would be unable to make their long journey south.

Ecumenical’s “Butterfly Garden” of native milkweed—maintained and nurtured by our residents—is helping ensure the preservation of the species and continuation of the spectacular monarch migration phenomenon. Yet one more of our amenities that sets us apart from other senior living communities. Visit our gardens today.
