Bishop Place Senior Living

We’re asked to wear a lot of hats in life like loving husband, model employee, and supportive parent, but one of the most challenging roles to fill is caregiver. Caregivers are often forced to walk fine lines, lines like being available to keep an eye on their dad in case he takes another fall, but giving him the privacy that he wants in his own home. Showing compassion and respect to their mother with memory loss, but making sure she’s eating, even if she doesn’t want to.

It’s no surprise that a lot of caregivers are riddled with senses of worry, uncertainty, and guilt. The good news is: it can get better. The caregivers and nurses in our communities have a passion for helping seniors and their families transition through aging and have experience walking the fine lines. They can be the watchdog, the friend and the confidant, but they can never take your place.

We pride ourselves on offering multiple levels of care so our residents can age in place, here, at home, in Bishop Place Senior Living.

Before you retired, when the idea of not going to work in the morning was a distant daydream, how did you imagine you’d spend your retirement years? Taking long weekend trips with friends? Enrolling in that art class at the local community college that you’ve heard so many good things about? Volunteering at the library, joining the book club, and meeting other people who love to get lost in a good book? Chances are, you’ve imagined a life with less stress and responsibility and more time to do the things you really love. In short, you imagined the type of lifestyle you can enjoy with independent living.

If there comes a time when your mom or dad needs more help to get through their day, Bishop Place Senior Living’s assisted living care services can help. In addition to the usual meals, activities, and maintenance, your mom or dad can also get any combination of support services like medication management, help with bathing and dressing and incontinence management.

Our In the Moment® program is thoughtfully designed as a team-approach to memory care delivery. We describe what we offer as Memory Support because we’re intentionally shifting away from outdated Dementia care practices and into a hospitality model.

For a lot of caregivers, taking care of their mom and dad is a full-time job. The idea of going out of town for a weekend or an unexpected short-term change in care needs, like doctor’s orders after being discharged from the hospital, are serious stressors for caregivers who already feel worn thin. If you’re a caregiver who needs some extra help for a few weeks or days, respite care might be the perfect fit.

Respite care provides the peace of mind of on-site care staff, prepared meals, and enrichment opportunities, without the long-term commitment.

At Bishop Place Senior Living, we understand that making a move to a senior living community is a big decision that doesn’t just impact seniors, it touches sons, daughters, grandchildren, brothers, sisters, husbands and wives. In short, a move to senior living impacts entire families, and is often met with mixed feelings of anxiety, excitement, uncertainty and fear.

We’re here to help. If you’re looking for a senior living community that understands the problems that seniors and their families face every day, we want to meet you.
