It offers a range of living options including independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing. The community is pet-friendly, ensuring that residents can bring their beloved pets with them.

Accommodations and Safety

Assisted living residents enjoy individual apartments that provide privacy and independence. The outer doors of the assisted living facility are locked at all times for security, but there is staff available at the front desk from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. to provide access. For safety, each resident is equipped with a life alert button, which they wear around their neck like a pendant, to ensure help is available at the push of a button.

Healthcare and Staffing

The community is staffed 24/7 with licensed practical nurses (LPNs) or registered nurses (RNs) to attend to the residents' healthcare needs. Additionally, there are med techs and nursing assistants on staff. A medical director is also available, who may accept new patients depending on their current patient load. The community offers both COVID and flu vaccines to its residents.

Transportation and Accessibility

Transportation services are available for residents, with no strict radius in place. However, availability may vary depending on the schedule, potentially affecting the distance that can be traveled on a given day.

Respite Care

Short-term stays, such as respite care, are offered, providing temporary relief for caregivers or a trial period for potential residents.

Resident Support and Communication

If a resident has a complaint or concern, they are encouraged to approach any employee, including the activity director, who often becomes a confidant for many residents. Communication with residents' families is typically handled through personal phone calls, fostering a one-on-one relationship. While newsletters are used within the independent living sector for residents, family communication remains more direct and personal.

Leadership and Contact

The community is overseen by a Director of Business Development, who handles both sales and admissions, ensuring that prospective and current residents' needs are met efficiently.
