Bellamar Lancaster

Bellamar Lancaster sits in a purpose-built, hacienda-style building close to a bus line, offering sixty roomy studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments with kitchenettes, private or shared restrooms, emergency alert systems, and options for furnished living spaces. The community has indoor and outdoor gathering spots, a library, a gallery, a craft room, a Generations Activity Room, an entertainment area, and a discovery room. Residents can keep cats or dogs, use resident parking, and enjoy wheelchair-accessible buildings and showers. Bellamar allows pets and even provides pet care, which is nice for people who want their companions nearby.

Bellamar provides Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care under one roof and supports aging in place, so residents don't need to move as their needs change. Nurses and health staff work around the clock, offering help with bathing, dressing, incontinence, medication management, and transfers. The secured memory care unit employs technology, like bracelets with alarms, to help prevent wandering and support those with dementia, mild cognitive impairment, and even residents who are prone to getting lost or acting out. The staff can assist people with diabetic care, including insulin injections, and provides support for residents with behavioral or physical challenges. Bellamar gives non-ambulatory or physically aggressive residents a safe setting and offers standby or assisted transfers, including mechanical lifts.

Dentist, podiatrist, and doctor-on-call services come right to the building. Onsite speech, occupational, and physical therapy services are available. Additional health support includes incontinence care, behavioral health services, and hospice and respite care services. Private housekeeping, linen, and laundry services, along with meal provision-including vegetarian, low sodium, low sugar, private dining room, and room service choices-get handled by the staff, and residents can also get help with cooking or grocery shopping if needed.

Bellamar's schedule is always full with both onsite and offsite activities, such as yoga, stretching, gardening, art and music classes, brain fitness programs, live well programs, karaoke, Wii bowling, games, trivia, outings, and wine tasting. A full-time activity director keeps things lively, and residents have access to devotional services, intergenerational programs, and veteran support. The community fosters interaction and friendships with many events, while also providing quiet, comfortable common spaces indoors and outside for relaxing or socializing.

Complimentary and paid transportation helps residents get to appointments and events, which is practical if you don't drive yourself. The building is wheelchair accessible throughout, with easily reached showers and restrooms. Bellamar Lancaster is owned by Prestige Care, part of Integral Senior Living, and operates under state license number 197602540. The community runs a smoke-free policy in all private and public indoor areas, supports independence, and prides itself on features that protect autonomy and dignity for every resident. The community is undergoing a remodel and a name change, and staff aim to help all residents enjoy a worry-free retirement, with help always nearby and a good balance of independence and support.

Bellamar Lancaster is managed by Integral Senior Living.

Integral Senior Living (ISL), founded in 2002 and headquartered in Carlsbad, California, has emerged as a leading third-party management company specializing in senior independent living, assisted living, memory care, and new development properties. Managing 58 communities across 15 states including California, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, Utah, Idaho, Colorado, Texas, Oklahoma, Illinois, Tennessee, Alabama, Michigan, Missouri, and Florida, ISL ranks as the 20th largest senior living provider in the United States with annual revenues reaching $750 million.

In 2023, ISL entered a transformative partnership with Discovery Senior Living through an investment by Lee Equity Partners and Coastwood Senior Housing Partners, creating the nation's fifth-largest senior housing operator. This strategic alliance positioned ISL as Discovery's largest vertically integrated senior living operator, managing over 113 communities within the Discovery family of companies. Together, Discovery Senior Living has become the largest privately held operator in the U.S., with a portfolio of nearly 35,000 units across 350 communities in almost 40 states, supported by more than 17,000 employees.

ISL's care philosophy centers on fostering dignity and respect for residents while promoting their independence and individuality. Their person-centric approach is exemplified in programs like Generations Memory Care, where individuals are viewed as whole persons first rather than being defined by their conditions. The company delivers meaningful and vibrant life experiences through exceptional amenities, award-winning programs, chef-prepared meals, and expert care. This commitment extends to creating fulfilling work environments for associates, recognizing that employee satisfaction directly impacts resident care quality.

The company's excellence has earned significant recognition, including 19 communities being named among the Best Senior Living Communities for 2024. Under the leadership of President and CEO Collette Gray, who received the 2025 McKnight's Senior Living Women of Distinction Lifetime Achievement Award and was inducted into the McKnight's Women of Distinction Hall of Honor in 2023, ISL has maintained its position as an industry leader. The partnership with Discovery has proven transformative for operations, enhancing support services, improving employee retention through enhanced benefits, and allowing both companies to leverage best practices while maintaining their unique cultures and programs.
