Antara Senior Care

                          Making friends at 65: How Antara Living changed my life When I was young, in college and in my workplaces I would always be the most popular person around - I just loved talking to people! I knew who everybody was and they knew me. Anytime I saw someone new, I would just walk up to them and introduce myself. It was never difficult for me to talk to people.  But somehow as I got older, that started to change.

Finally, upon the recommendation of another colleague who had gone through something very similar, I reached out to Antara Assisted Living to help me out. I was so delighted with how sensitively and quickly they aided my mother’s recovery that I am happy to share my experience with you. Reaching Out: I booked an appointment with...

  After a loved one has been through a strenuous health experience, the journey back to fitness can be daunting. You need to fall-proof your home, manage their medications, and assist them with any daily activities. A lot of times, you just don’t have the expertise or time to be able to give them as much attention as they need.
