Restaurant-Style Dining

Embracing the convenience of an in-house chef brings a refreshing departure from the usual chores of meal preparation, cooking, and cleanup. At every Era Living community, you’ll discover a unique culture, ensuring that dining services are tailored to each location. While our culinary experiences vary to suit the individuality of each community, a consistent thread runs through them all: dining with us goes beyond just having a meal. It’s a personal, connected, and caring experience with plenty of choices to make it enjoyable.

Vibrant Lifestyle

Our life enrichment calendars are brimming with activities to nourish your mind, body, and spirit. Attend a lecture, discuss current events, take an art class, or enjoy an on-site concert. Choose from a variety of exercise classes for all abilities, including Enhance®Fitness, tai chi, yoga, or Stretch & Flex. Play bridge or poker, take up creative writing, or engage in a local volunteer opportunity. Partake in our regular outings to museums, symphonies, operas, sporting events, parks, and shopping destinations. If you have an interest that you don’t see on the calendar, we actively encourage and welcome feedback to expand options.
