Reinventing & Reimagining Senior Living in Laurelhurst

Oct 4, Alissa Sauer

At Empress Senior Living in Laurelhurst, we listen and adapt to the evolving needs of our residents and their families. Our innovative approach to senior living means that Empress Senior Living remains an ideal choice for older adults seeking full days and a fulfilling life.

By enhancing our living spaces and investing in our signature programs and excellent care, we are raising the standard of senior living in Laurelhurst.

Spacious Living, Thoughtfully Designed

We recognize that today’s seniors value both independence and flexibility in their living spaces. We’ve enhanced our apartment layouts to meet these needs by transforming select studio apartments into spacious one-bedroom homes. This upgrade offers residents the perfect balance of personal privacy and room for hosting loved ones, providing a more versatile and comfortable living environment. The new one-bedroom apartments are thoughtfully designed with modern amenities, ample storage, and elegant finishes, reflecting the sophisticated preferences of our residents. With additional space, residents can better organize their belongings and enjoy a more comfortable, convenient setting that supports their daily routines and hobbies. By offering these enhanced living options, Empress Senior Living ensures that residents maintain their independence while enjoying hospitality-based care and amenities.

 “Leisure Care is a Seattle-based company that has been in operation almost 50 years. Our exceptional customer approach is based on recognizing and anticipating our customers needs. We find ways to exceed our customer expectations. As such, about a year ago, Empress Senior Living joined our portfolio, and quickly we recognized the need for more spacious apartments. We are excited to showcase our spacious one-bedroom apartments!” – Meg Davidson, Chief Operations Officer, Leisure Care

Signature Programs That Go Beyond the Basics

But Empress Senior Living isn’t just about where you live—it’s about how you live. Our community is centered around a holistic approach to senior living that promotes wellness, connection, and growth. From fitness and wellness programs to engaging social and cultural activities, we provide countless opportunities for residents to thrive physically, mentally, and socially.

Through signature programming like PrimeFit Wellness, residents discover joy and embrace purpose in everyday moments. Here, wellness expands beyond the walls of the fitness center to take center stage in every aspect of community life. Residents are encouraged to continue showing up as their best selves for the moments (and people) that matter most. Their PrimeFit Wellness program offers balance classes multiple times a week, a variety of daily group fitness classes, personal training sessions, and more. 

Paving the way for whole-person care that meets the demands of today and gives peace of mind for the future, Empress delivers hospitality-based assisted living and memory care. Care services are delivered a la carte in the privacy of residents’ apartments and in a fun and caring environment where living well is the top priority. Here, assisted living is about maximizing independence and meeting residents where they are to get them where they want to go. It’s about claiming the support older adults need to continue showing up as their best selves for the people and moments that matter most.

Their signature memory care program, Opal by Leisure Care®, is only available in Leisure Care communities like Empress. Through Opal, Empress provides a positive approach to care that partners with residents and families. Residents in memory care at Empress enjoy a gentle and flexible schedule that provides structure and freedom, while dedicated caregivers provide compassionate care for residents with Alzheimer’s disease and related forms of dementia. They understand that a dementia diagnosis affects the entire family. Through their holistic memory care services, families reclaim balance in family relationships and find freedom and joy in the everyday moments.

Additional signature programs, like Thinkie and Safely You, empower residents to engage with technology and ensure the highest standard of safety in their everyday lives.
