Selecting a senior living community is an important decision. That's why you should consider The Jefferson. More than 20 years ago, Paul and Terry Klaassen started Sunrise Senior Living with a simple but innovative vision -- to champion the quality of life for all seniors. This vision is the foundation of our resident-centered, personalized approach to senior living that enables our residents to live life on their own terms.

At The Jefferson, you'll enjoy the benefits of home ownership in addition to comfortable surroundings, superb amenities, and a host of activities designed to help you get the most out of life.

Socialize with friends. Explore new interests. Or just take the time to sit back and relax. The choice is up to you. Residents at The Jefferson live their own lives. Our residents have exciting pasts to share and brisk futures to be lived. (Incidentally, pets are welcome at The Jefferson!)
