Balfour grew from an idea that began with a simple question a son asked himself about his aging mother: What would Madeline want? Balfour’s Founder and CEO, Michael Schonbrun, experienced a challenging time when he struggled to find a senior living community for his mother, a socially active and sophisticated New Yorker.Her life was well-lived and filled with things she loved; social events, artistic and cultural pursuits, fine dining and fun and laughter with friends. Thanks to her inspiration, Balfour Senior Living is a testament to the kind of place Madeline would have loved to call home.

The Balfour Way represents our culture of respect and dedication to the service of our residents. It has consistently distinguished Balfour and its employees with an unparalleled reputation in luxury senior living since its founding in 1996.Camp Balfour Lake, an Adirondack summer camp attended by the Schonbrun family since 1930, inspired the spirit of the Balfour Way. Balfour Senior Living is based on the values learned in those lazy days of summer long ago—interaction with nature, aquatic and athletic pursuits and most importantly, rich and meaningful friendships fostered in a beautiful setting.

The Balfour Way is also a commitment to an intentional lifestyle design where residents can move in independently and age in place without the distress of having to leave their apartment if the need for assisted living services arises.Balfour’s wellness team brings assisted services and enhanced levels of care directly to residents in the comfort of their apartment homes, short or long-term—no moving required. Residents have the peace of mind that they can comfortably age in place in the home they love and continue to enjoy relationships with friends, neighbors and associates they’ve established over the years.
