    Welcome to Craig Senior Living Community

    Craig Senior Living Community offers a comprehensive living experience for seniors. Our community is designed to cater to various needs, from independent living to skilled nursing care, ensuring that each resident receives the level of support they require.

    Independent Living

    Our independent living sector provides a comfortable and autonomous lifestyle for seniors who can manage their daily routines without assistance. We offer a range of accommodations, including one-bedroom, one-bath apartments and two-bedroom apartments, as well as cottage homes for a more private living experience.

    Pet-Friendly Environment

    We understand that pets are an important part of many people's lives, which is why our community is pet-friendly. Residents are welcome to bring their furry companions along with them. A one-time non-refundable pet deposit is required to accommodate your pet.

    Moving Assistance

    To help new residents transition smoothly into our community, we offer a pack-and-move service and can refer residents to trusted local movers, such as Bomb City Movers, to assist with the relocation process.

    Transportation Services

    Our community provides transportation services for residents within a generous 20-mile radius, allowing for convenient access to local amenities and appointments.

    Dining Experience

    Residents can enjoy their meals in our dining room, which offers lunch and dinner services. We cater to various dietary needs, including gluten-free options, to ensure that all residents can dine comfortably and healthily.

    No On-Site Healthcare in Independent Living

    While our independent living does not include on-site healthcare services, residents have the option to arrange for outside home health services or private duty care as needed.

    Safety and Security

    The safety of our residents is a top priority. We provide pendants for all residents to use in case of emergency, and we have security staff available 24/7. Our front desk is also staffed around the clock to assist residents and visitors.

    Resident Concerns and Communication

    If residents have any concerns or complaints, they are encouraged to reach out directly to our executive director. Communication with residents' families is typically conducted via phone calls, although email communication can be arranged upon request.

    Conclusion

    Craig Senior Living Community is dedicated to providing a nurturing and supportive environment for seniors. With a range of living options, amenities, and services, we strive to meet the individual needs of each resident, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable experience.
