Dishes like harira (spiced lentil soup) and lamb-shank tajine are enticingly laden with aromatic spices like cumin, ginger and saffron.

Healthier and Safer than ever before

O

ur world has come a long way in two years. It’s made us more perceptive and vigilant. And it’s tested our resilience.

As we continue to wade through the pandemic, our team at Chelsea Senior Living has been invariably committed to the residents and families who are part of our big family.

These are words not spoken from our point of view, but from people who visit and live in our Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care communities.

“Being over 3,000 miles away I felt lost as to where to start. Add COVID into the mix and I felt helpless, until I called the Chelsea,” said Tammy, the daughter of a Chelsea resident. “The minute we arrived at the Chelsea I knew I made the right decision to move my dad there. The social interaction he now has, the healthy eating, and the continuous care have brought me peace of mind that I have not had in years

for my dad.”

The fact that mom, her sister Betty and sister-in-law Dorothy all call Chelsea home make our visits that much more special,” said Susan, the daughter of a Chelsea resident. “It also speaks volumes as to how highly we regard your community.”

“When you walk in the front door of The Chelsea, it is more like walking into

a lovely, warm hotel,” said Jan, the daughter of a Chelsea resident. “We are always greeted by smiles and ‘hellos’ by all of The Chelsea team.”

Even during this challenging time with COVID-19, we strive to be the bright light for our residents and families. We were one of the first senior living communities in the Tri-state area to offer COVID-19 vac-

cination on-site. We’ve also been offering boosters to our residents and staff. And as an additional measure to keep our Chelsea Family as safe as possible, we’ve offered the groundbreaking monoclonal antibody (mAb) therapy treatment to fight the COVID-19 infection.

Senior Living is thriving and we invite you to come see for yourself.

There’s no better time to move in to The Chelsea.
