Who We Are

Paragon Senior Living is senior living’s newest management company. Driven to provide best-in-class service for residents in our communities, Paragon aims to set an exceptional standard for senior living across the country.

The Paragon Standard

The word paragon comes from the Italian word for “touchstone,” a stone smoothed by years of friction that becomes so refined it’s used to test the quality of gold. This perfectly encapsulates the essence of aging: Each life is a remarkable tapestry that becomes more beautiful and distinguished with time. 

This is our pledge to residents. From chef-prepared meals and personalized wellness programs to a daily calendar of engaging activities, every detail is meticulously crafted to ensure an extraordinary living experience.
