We provide meals, laundry, and housekeeping, along with a plethora of support services, customized to the unique needs of each resident, including specialized care for memory impairment.

Meals are served in our community dining room; for a small fee, residents may take meals in their apartments, though we highly encourage taking advantage of the social opportunity meals present. Visitors are welcome to share meals with residents (for a nominal charge).

Residents are free at all times to enjoy a variety of delicious snacks and beverages, including homemade cookies and other baked goods, as well as sandwiches, fruits, ice cream, coffee, tea, and much more.

Licensed nurses are on-staff and available 24/7. Trained Medication Technicians are scheduled around-the-clock to provide medication assistance which may include opening pill bottles, reminding residents to take medication and dispensing medication.

We make a point every day of meeting with our residents to check on their well-being and to deliver mail and newspapers.

Our maintenance staff is friendly and experienced, capable of performing a variety of maintenance tasks, from changing light bulbs and touching up paint to more serious concerns.

Everyday, our conscientious and experienced housekeepers will make your bed. Twice per week, they will change your bath towels, and every week our housekeeping staff will vacuum and dust your apartment, change your bed linens, and wash your personal laundry, all with the utmost respect for your personal belongings.

For our residents in need of more support than included in our basic personal care services, supplementary support is available. To determine the level of care residents may need, each individual is assessed via our Personal Needs Assessment. Mobility, cognition, continence, and other daily living activities are considered in this assessment, and assessments are performed upon move-in to our facility, 30 days after move-in, and every quarter. Upon completion of an assessment, results are discussed with the resident and his or her family/representative, and additional care and rate changes are addressed as necessary.

Supplementary care may include

• Dressing and grooming assistance
• Escort to activities and meals

• Bedtime tuck-in
