“Is this a retirement community or a resort?” Stroll through the doors of a Leisure Care community and you may be a bit confused. Folks are having fun, the staff is cheerful, and the vibe…it’s energetic, tranquil, and cozy all at the same time. But please don’t be confused. Stay awhile. Take it all in. Imagine what it would be like to live in such a place. To be pampered. To do all the things you’ve put off for years. To have so much fun it’s kind of ridiculous. Ahhhhh, now doesn’t that sound like a retirement out of a dream?
Leisure Care Retirement Communities are truly more resort than retirement community. Have as much fun as possible with peace of mind as well. Enjoy your own private apartment home. Live as you always have, but without pesky chores like, oh, mowing the lawn, fixing a leaky pipe, or even vacuuming. Wouldn’t you rather relax and concentrate on more important things—like having the time of your life?
For more information about having the time of your life, please don't hesitate to contact us.Many folks, we have found, would rather retire somewhere more akin to a resort or fine hotel than a retirement community. We are for those folks. Not for the fuddy-duddies who’d rather go to an “old folks home.” (In fact, we dare you to call our communities “old folks homes” after reading this.) And that’s precisely where our Guest Services come in.
Everything’s right here on-site, ready and waiting for you to dive in. Seriously, look at all the services available: Health and Wellness, Assisted Living, True Restaurant Dining, Concierge Services, PrimeFit, Brain Fitness, and Travel. It’s choices galore. And just imagine the fun you’ll have taking advantage of it all. Oh boy, will you be living it up or what?
It’s no exaggeration to say that you can truly have the time of your life at a Leisure Care Retirement Community. Indeed, maybe we should call them Leisure Care Retirement Resorts. Hmmmmm. Stop in and feel the resort vibe for yourself. Call the community nearest you and set up a tour today. Come on, it’ll be fun!
Move into a Leisure Care Retirement Community and you will have your very own private travel agency. Seriously, a travel agency that truly understands the unique needs of seniors will be available to you 24/7 to help make any travel dream possible. A weekend away with your girlfriends for some wine tasting? A trip up the mountains with your fellow residents? Or a group cruise down the Baja Peninsula? Travel by Leisure Care makes it all possible. Imagine the convenience. Imagine all the sand in your toes.
Once you move in, your personal Travel by Leisure Care coordinator will get to know you to understand your specific travel needs and anticipate and handle all the details. Because, as far as we're concerned, you should have no concerns. Except having the time of your life.
We offer personal travel services, too. So, whether it’s an exotic vacation, a cruise, or a trip to see the grandkids, Travel by Leisure Care can help. And did we mention, every year we coordinate a very special trip open only to Leisure Care residents? That’s right, it’s your chance to meet and travel with other fun folks, just like you, from Leisure Care communities throughout the United States and Canada. And believe us when we say, It’s A Trip!
To learn more about Travel by Leisure Care and how you can participate, contact your local Leisure Care community today. To learn more about Twist Travel, the agency that powers our Travel by Leisure Care program, visit Twist Travel.

We at Leisure Care believe the building blocks of a truly healthy lifestyle go far beyond simply satisfying your basic health needs. That’s why our communities offer a full menu of personalized Health and Wellness services aimed at creating a lifestyle that is healthy, active, and fun. Fitness classes, social spaces and activities, special menu options, and salon and spa services are just a few of the things you will find at most of our communities. You’ll also find our PrimeFit and Brain Fitness programs. And of course, most of our communities also offer assisted living services if needed.
So whether your goal is improved health, maintaining your current lifestyle, or simply pampering yourself silly by taking advantage of our industry leading services, our professional staff will help you develop the ideal plan for you. We call it whole person wellness. We’ll be happy to explain more, contact us today!
At Leisure Care communities, choice is king. And dining is no exception. When it comes to meals, our communities take the cake (and the steak, and the seafood, and the, well you get the idea). And you will feel like a king, or a queen, every time you dine. With fresh, seasonal menus created by our talented team of chefs, some would say our meals rival those of the finest restaurants. And to ensure that they do, we constantly ask a group of folks with exceedingly discriminating taste buds. They’re called our residents.
And did you know that ALL of our communities have true restaurant dining? What does that mean, you ask? Well, it means that each time you go for a meal, a host or hostess will seat you, expertly trained servers will take your order, let the chef know your preferences, and your meal will be presented just how you like it. Yes, that’s right. Spot-on dining room service, fresh products, lots and lots of choices, great atmosphere, and gracious servers – we’ve been perfecting the art of true restaurant dining for more than 35 years, and it shows. But don’t take our word for it. Contact your nearest community to set up a visit and let us treat you to a meal. Your taste buds will thank you!
At Leisure Care we understand that fitness often takes a backseat to, well, lots of other stuff. Which is precisely why everything about our PrimeFit program has been designed to be fun, motivating and convenient. And, you will be glad to know, the exercise choices are vast. So vast, in fact, that the hardest part will be deciding what to do first. Take a look at a few of the things available at many of our communities: a PrimeFit Gym, Balance Builders, walking programs, recreational sports, aquatic exercise, holistic offerings, and low-impact exercise. But, not to worry. The PrimeFit staff is here to help. They'll help you put together a customized program suited to your abilities and tastes. They'll help you follow it, too, of course. And give you tips along the way. And make adjustments. And bring you new ideas. And... well, you get the picture.

Don’t just keep your wits about you – sharpen them.
We’ve teamed up with some big brains to bring you the world’s first Brain Fitness Center. Our partner, Posit Science™, has more than 50 university-based scientists building computer brain workouts for you. They’re a pretty serious bunch. Good thing they hired video game developers to make sure this heavy duty science is not just challenging, but fun.
How does it work? We rely on our brains to interpret experience and define who we are. The Brain Fitness Center programs are designed to improve memory, attention and communication abilities. They find your cognitive baseline and then push you hard to enhance your natural abilities. Not too hard. Just hard enough to challenge and help you feel your personal best.

Paint a sunset. Draw an adorable kitty cat. Or sculpt an exact replica, a tad smaller of course, of your favorite 1955 Corvette. No matter the creation, creative expression sure is fun. Which is why we offer Seniors Making Art® at all of our communities. Professional artists provide the training. Your fellow artists provide the encouragement. You provide the imagination. And your kids and grandkids, of course, provide the "oohs and ahhs."
Leisure Care is the primary corporate sponsor and driving force behind Seniors Making Art—established by internationally renowned glass artist Dale Chihuly. This highly acclaimed, non-profit program, with a mission to enhance the quality of life for seniors by providing opportunities for creative expression through art, is a touchstone of our organization.
To learn more about Seniors Making Art, visit the website at www.seniorsmakingart.org.
Home is where the concierge pampers you silly. That’s certainly our philosophy. And that is why Leisure Care communities offer concierge services. Just think—with one phone call you can arrange spa services, automotive services, delivery services, fresh cut flowers, tickets to a show, and more. Which sounds more like a resort than a retirement community, doesn’t it? Yessireee, it does. Which, to us, is the whole point. It’s your retirement, you deserve some serious pampering.
No waiting on the phone for reservations. No hassles. No problem. That’s how you Retire Like You Mean It.
So, maybe you need a little help sometimes. No problem. Like a trusted friend, we’ll be right there when you need us. And, just like that friend, we’ll also make sure you have fun, too!
Our assisted living services are very, very flexible. Probably as flexible as your yoga instructor, that’s how much. So you will get precisely the help you want, just when you need it—services can be added at any time. Whether it’s medication management, helping with mobility, coordinating care with your physicians, or making sure you look your best at Happy Hour on Friday, we are there to help. Most of our communities also offer temporary stay support and temporary illness services. So if you need assistance after a hospital stay, or just want to try us out, our temporary stay program is a great choice.
But the best part? We take our assisted living services to another level. We can’t help it that we’ve set our standards so high. Maybe it comes from being one of the first in the industry to offer assisted living services, more than 35 years ago. You can say we like to stay ahead of the curve. Our professional staff is trained to provide the best service available, and all with a healthy dose of patience, finesse and humor. So once you move in, you can bet that life will get easier, more fun, and more relaxing. We’ve worked very hard to make sure that happens. But don’t take our word for it. Visit one of our communities today and see for yourself.
The best retirement communities, we think most would agree, are about more than simply caring for the basic needs. Isn’t that just the minimum, really? That’s certainly the thinking behind our Leisure Care group of communities. We go beyond the ideas of Independent and Assisted Living. Way beyond, in fact.
We provide the basic needs and we do it exceedingly well. Then we take it up a notch. We add services like you’d find in a fine hotel. Guest services, healthy and delicious dining choices, and housekeeping. But we don’t stop there. We add things that add to the fun factor. Social and recreational activities, fitness and travel programs, brain workouts and art classes. All at an affordable price.
Even our assisted living services are far from ordinary. We offer several levels of care customizable to your particular needs, and services delivered with professionalism and finesse. All to have you living better than you ever thought possible.

No one ever aspires to live in a retirement community, right? Well, sort of. If the community is average and run-of-the-mill, that statement would be correct. But, if the community is like a resort? Elegant and fun? Then you would be talking about a Leisure Care Premier community. These communities cater to active, independent folks. And they offer lots of choices. Oh boy, do they. They have all of the services and amenities of the Leisure Care group of communities, and more. With enhanced PrimeFit fitness programs, whole person health and wellness options, and more dining options than you can shake a menu at, you may just aspire to live at one yourself.
And almost all of our Premier communities offer assisted living services that can be added at any time. How’s that grab you? A resort with assisted living? You better believe it.

Some communities are so unique, they defy definition. That’s Signature 180. These communities are as unique as you can imagine. A community in a converted brewery? How about living a football’s throw of a Pac-12 university campus? Or a place that takes service to another dimension? All of our Signature 180 communities have the enhanced services and amenities of our Premier group, along with their own individual touches. A decked-out movie theater, a high-end spa and salon, and a rooftop putting green are just some of the things you’ll find. What you won’t find is anything remotely boring. Curious? Well then, we’ll just let these communities speak for themselves.

You’ve probably already discovered if you’ve read this far that there are over 35 Leisure Care Retirement Communities in the Western US and Canada. That, most would say, is quite a lot to choose from. But, we don’t stop there. You’ll find choices in Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care, too. So no matter what lifestyle you seek, you’re very likely to find it here.
Choose a community offering Independent Living if you are active and don’t require any assistance. All Leisure Care communities offer Independent Living apartments.
Assisted Living is available at most all of our communities and services can be added at any time. This type of care is for folks that need help with daily living, ranging from “just a little bit here and there” to quite a lot.
Our Memory Care apartments are for those seeking care for loved ones with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. This specialized care is available at three Leisure Care communities, two in Colorado, and one in Oregon.
Needless to say, we understand that you are not the least bit interested in sitting around and feeling “old.” Otherwise, why would you still be reading our website? Well, we can guess. You’re active, healthy, and hey, let’s admit it, probably quite spunky, too. You appreciate the finer things in life. Good food, good company, comfort and choice. That last one is a doozie, too. Because with more choice, you can do what you want, whenever you want to. Isn’t that what you’ve always thought retirement should be about? You bet it should. You’ve certainly earned it.
Choice in dining, exercise, travel, education, relaxation, social opportunities, and more. You name it. We’ve got tons of it. So go ahead, create a lifestyle that is just like you — active and independent. We’ll help you make it all possible. We’ll even rid you of those tedious chores like housework and yard work, so you have more time to live it up. There really is no telling just how much fun you can have at a Leisure Care community. But, then, wouldn’t you like to try and find out?
All Leisure Care communities offer a variety of Independent Living apartments. Browse our Locations page or use our fast and easy 3-step “Build Your Own Retirement” tool to find the best match for you.

There is no cookie-cutter treatment for dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. We understand your loved one requires a personal approach. We practice what is called the Best Friends Approach,™ developed by Virginia Bell and David Troxel. Simply put, we believe what a person needs most is a “Best Friend” – caregivers who empathize with the individual’s situation, remain loving and positive and dedicated to helping the person feel safe, secure and valued. Our programs fit the person, not the other way around.
To us, successful therapeutic care for Alzheimer’s and dementia combines care for all of life’s wants—physical, emotional, social, spiritual and cultural. We encourage family members and friends to be as actively involved in their loved one’s care as they want to be.
There is no question, caring for a loved one is stressful for everyone involved. It’s incredibly sad to watch someone you know so well lose their memory, and seemingly, themselves. But we can help relieve some of that anxiety and stress. Your loved one can still find meaning and contentment in each new day, and you can still enjoy every moment you have with them. Please contact us for more information.
There comes a time when mom or dad (or grandma or grandpa) needs a little help or they would simply rather do more interesting things than housework. And it can be emotional talking about getting older, moving out of a cherished home, needing help when they’ve been so capable throughout life, and seemingly giving up so much freedom. We understand, and if you come to Leisure Care with this circumstance at hand, we would first like to put your mind at ease. Seeking a community that can help your family with the transition shows your commitment and is an act of love. Secondly, once you get to know us, our communities, and our philosophy you will, we believe, relax even more. Why? Because you’ll feel good talking to your mom or dad about us. You’ll feel good taking them to see one of our communities. And, ultimately, you’ll see that caring for needs and offering help is just the minimum with us – we promise to not only provide a place to live, but the power to live. So, whether you’re looking for an Independent Living, Assisted Living, or Memory Care community, we, more than likely, have something that more than just “fits the bill.”

(POMPANO BEACH) May 17, 2013 – Global alternative asset manager The Carlyle Group announced today that it has acquired The Preserve at Palm-Aire Retirement Community, a four-story, 298-unit independent and assisted living community in Pompano Beach, Florida.
Seattle-based Leisure Care, a One Eighty company, was hired by The Carlyle Group to manage the property. The Preserve at Palm-Aire is Leisure Care’s second community in Florida and fourth management contract with The Carlyle Group, coming on the heels of the acquisition of The Camellia at Deerwood in Jacksonville in August 2012.
“We’re excited to continue to grow in the Florida marketplace and introduce our culture of Five-Star Fun to the residents and staff of The Preserve,” says Leisure Chairman & CEO Dan Madsen. “This is our fourth management contract with The Carlyle Group. We value that partnership, and look forward to creating a legacy of quality and service in Pompano Beach and beyond.”
The Preserve at Palm-Aire features four floors of studio, one, and two bedroom suites as well as eleven free-standing villas. Leisure Care will continue to offer the community’s full range of services, which include restaurant-style dining, a fitness center and assisted living services. Leisure Care will bring its lifestyle enhancing signature programs, including PrimeFit total fitness and full-service in-house travel agency, Travel by Leisure Care. There are also plans to add a memory care unit.
The Preserve at Palm-Aire is located at 3701 W. McNab Road in Pompano Beach along the coast of the Atlantic Ocean just north of Fort Lauderdale. Set amidst 13 acres of lush grounds near five golf courses, The Preserve is conveniently located between I-95 and the Florida Turnpike.
The phrase “senior living dining” usually conjures visions of an institutional buffet line of colorless vegetables and mystery meat under orange heat lamps. Leisure Care is on a mission to prove this stereotype wrong by creating a dining experience for their residents that rivals meals at some of the world’s finest restaurants.
For the third consecutive year Broadway Proper and Old Pueblo Traders teamed up to put on a fashion show benefitting Big Brothers Big Sisters. Eight women modeled for the benefit on April 13. With the exception of the program supervisor at Broadway Proper, the models were all in their 60s and older. The event offered opportunities to volunteer or donate to Big Brothers Big Sisters.
Leisure Care President Tana Gall was recently interviewed by Senior Housing News and shares her insights into the senior living industry's growth potential, strategies to attract younger residents, and how boomers will shape the market's offerings.
