The holidays are quickly approaching, which means many of us will be heading home for the holidays and spending more time with family. Sometimes, a visit home for the holidays can open our eyes to the fact that our loved ones are getting older and it may be time to have a conversation about senior housing and senior care.  

Broaching the topic of senior care can be difficult for adult children and aging parents alike. It can feel overwhelming to think about leaving a family home, full of a lifetime of memories. It can feel like giving up a level of independence. It can also bring fear and anxiety about the future, realizing that things can become more difficult with age.  

However, finding the right senior living community can often increase independence, creating a sense of peace and calming for whatever the future brings. Murano, Seattle’s new senior living community, offers a range of senior care services including independent living, assisted living, and memory care so that even as needs change over time, residents can stay in the community where they are known and have a true sense of belonging. Murano also offers respite care options for temporary stays, if needed. Each level of care at Murano is personalized to meet the unique needs of each resident so that families can be confident their loved one is receiving the best care possible.  

Going beyond senior care, Murano cultivates a true senior living experience, making sure residents are pursuing the retirement of their dreams. The 24-story luxury community features several restaurants and lounges, ranging from casual to fine dining, including the SEA + SKY bar, which has panoramic views of downtown Seattle, Puget Sound, Mount Rainier and more. An onsite concierge can arrange tickets to shows and events all over the city as well as transportation to the destination. If residents prefer to drive themselves, Murano offers a spacious two-story parking garage with valet parking available.  

Many things change as we get older, but one thing that doesn’t is the love and care we have for our friends and family. At Murano Senior Living, loved ones can find the perfect place to continue nurturing personal growth, and foster existing and new relationships. Find out more at muranoseniorliving.com.

Smith Tower has been ready for its close-up since 1914. Head to the 35th-floor open-air observation deck, where there’s no glass between your phone and 360-degree views of downtown Seattle and Elliott Bay—and, on clear days, Mount Rainier gets in the shot. Even the ride up is photo-worthy, thanks to the tower’s historic Otis elevators….
