Best Retirement/Assisted Living Facility

MacKenzie Place Senior Living

Seattle-based Leisure Care, one of the nation’s largest privately held retirement and assisted living companies, owns MacKenzie Place. The company owns, manages, develops and consults in all facets of the senior living business.

MacKenzie Place offers independent living apartments for 55-plus seniors, as well as assisted living and memory care. In common with many newer care/retirement communities, Mackenzie Place has taken pains to go beyond the sterile, institutional feel that used to characterize such facilities.

“We are a warm and inviting senior living community catering to our residents with an innovative approach, focusing on a holistic style of hospitality,” according to MacKenzie’s website. “This unique approach begins with fun … because [fun] is at the core of everything we do. Our philosophy of five-star service translates into an experience that feels more like a vacation at your favorite mountain resort rather than a typical retirement community.”

Located close to the intersection of Fillmore and Union, MacKenzie Place offers residents easy access to downtown and the North End, as well as a full range of in-campus activities. And — they’re dog-friendly.
