Toasting Two Years of Connection, Care, & Community at Empress

May 5, Alissa Sauer

At Empress Senior Living, the best moments are shared. Whether through music, meals, or meaningful connection, we believe in creating opportunities to come together—and we’ve got a great one coming up.

On Friday, May 30th, 2025, at 4:30 p.m., we’re hosting a tropical-themed rooftop celebration, and we’d love for you to join us. It’ll be an evening filled with good food, great company, and live island music—all set against the backdrop of our beautiful rooftop view.

But this event is more than just pulled pork sliders and Mai Tais (though we’ll have those!). It’s also a chance to recognize something worth celebrating: Empress has been part of the Leisure Care team for nearly two years. Over that time, our assisted living and memory care community continued to grow into a community where residents are supported in living with purpose, surrounded by people who know them and don’t just care for them, but care about them, too.

Two Years of Leisure Care Living

Becoming a Leisure Care community nearly two years ago strengthened our mission in ways that show up every day—in the way we welcome families, the way we support our residents, and the way our team works together.

Our approach centers on hospitality and relationships. Through signature programs like PrimeFit Wellness™ and Opal by Leisure Care®, we meet residents where they are, adapting support to match their goals, abilities, and preferences. Whether someone is looking for help with daily tasks or seeking connection through movement, learning, and community involvement, we’re here to help them live life on their terms.

We notice the details—a favorite snack, a familiar song, a moment when someone needs a little extra time. That kind of care comes from listening, showing up consistently, and genuinely enjoying what we do.

“At Empress, we believe every day is a chance to connect and make someone feel seen. It’s not just about providing care—it’s about building relationships that matter.”
— Jamie Bravato, Operations Director

Dining That Feels Like Home – Because It Is

There’s something about a good meal shared with others that just feels right—and at Empress, that experience is part of daily life.

Whether it’s lunch with friends in our restaurant-style dining room, a casual bite in the bistro, or a specially prepared dish for someone in memory care, our culinary team is focused on food that’s flavorful, familiar, and tailored to each resident.

This year, that commitment was recognized by U.S. News & World Report, which honored Empress in their 2024 Best Senior Living ratings for Memory Care: Food & Dining. What makes this award especially meaningful is that it’s based on the voices of residents and their families—people who experience the Empress difference every day.

At Empress, dining isn’t just about nutrition. It’s about creating comforting rituals, honoring preferences, and making each meal an opportunity to connect.
