Safety and Well-Being Measures
To ensure the safety and well-being of our residents, we maintain 24/7 security alongside numerous amenities designed to provide a secure and comfortable living environment.

Waitlist Information

Vaccination Services
Residents are encouraged to seek Covid and flu vaccinations externally, as these are not provided within the community.
THE COOPERATIVE MODEL
Laurelmead’s cooperative model is different from most senior living communities. That’s because, as a shareholder, you become an owner in the cooperative. Unlike renting, ownership allows you to customize your apartment while enjoying the common areas, outdoor spaces, and facilities that are maintained by the cooperative. Your home is your sanctuary to enjoy.
GOVERNANCE
Imagine living in a community that is governed by its residents. The cooperative model also encourages residents to become actively engaged in the decision making and planning process. The Board of Directors and the Resident Committees, that advise the Board and support management, are all made up of residents. That’s how Laurelmead works to provide entertainment, excursions, dining experiences, transportation to appointments, maintenance and housekeeping services, and fitness opportunities. Our exceptional, dedicated employees make all these services and amenities possible.
INDEPENDENT LIVING
Laurelmead is a lifestyle option for adults that are 55+ and functionally and socially independent. We do not provide any medical or nursing care, personal care or assistance, medication management, diagnostic services, support for memory loss, or tiered levels of care. We do provide support to residents throughout the aging process. As life changes, we help residents, and their families develop a plan to assure that the resident is in an environment that provides the appropriate care according to their level of need.
