Description

About This Community

Originally a public high school, South High has since been restored and redesigned. The building was already laid out for residential use, with a cafeteria ready for transformation to the dining hall, and classrooms ideally situated to become apartments. We welcome you to visit the old high school for a trip down memory lane.

Our Assisted Living program is designed to encourage residents to live a vibrant life by connecting with the people and the community around them. We provide our residents with peace of mind knowing that we are available to help with tasks such as cooking, cleaning, and transportation. We give our residents the best care possible in an enjoyable, welcoming atmosphere.

We believe deeply in providing personalized and tailored care for each of our residents. This is especially true for our residents who are living with dementia and Alzheimer’s. This is why we created Generations Memory Care. Our community requires our associates to complete certified extensive initial and on-going training to better support our resident individuals living with dementia. We emphasize techniques, teachable moments, and meaningful engagement by honoring the past, connecting with the present and inspiring the future of your loved one.

My husband will be moving into South High Senior Living. It was an old high school that they had completely renovated, so it looks like a brand new building. It's very classy and very clean with lots of hardwood and marble. The exterior areas have wrought iron fencing for the patrons. The food is very good. They have lots of activities for the seniors. They have a singing group, a gardening group, and a woodworking group. He is into trivia, and so they have some trivia games, too. They have an ice cream social every Friday, and once a week they get in the van and they take them on a tour or a ride. They are very close to the mountains, so there are all different kinds of places that they can go. The care is very good. He will have a wheelchair accessible shower. The people are very friendly, well trained, and very knowledgeable about dementia.

I toured South High Senior Living. My dad will be moving in there about the 17th of January. Actually, I did a virtual tour and then they gave me a quick peek when I was there in person dropping the check off. They showed me the memory care unit. It was excellent, and it far exceeded my expectations. The staff was well above and beyond. I saw one room physically, and it was gorgeous, it had big windows, everything looked really nice.

South High is more then anything I could have ever dreamed of for my mom. She loves it at South and the staff is wonderful. They are her family away from home. I trust them 100%! Would HIGHLY recommend to anyone!
