Cost of Living in Our Community

To provide you with specific information regarding the cost of living in our community, we need more details. Are you inquiring about assisted living or memory care? Additionally, the type of accommodations you are interested in affects the cost. Options include:

• Semi-private (shared bathroom with one other resident)
• Studio
• One-bedroom
• Two-bedroom

An assessment is required to determine care prices, if applicable. Once we have the answers to these questions, we can offer you more accurate information. Please note that base room and board prices are available in the floor plan area of our website, starting at $4,300 per month.

Resident Complaints and Issues

I’ve attached our official grievance policy, but our door is always open. We encourage residents and families to discuss first with the Director of the department the concern is about and/or the Executive Director. Additionally, we have a confidential line for ethics and all other complaints that goes directly to our central support center.

Short-term or Respite Stays

Yes, with a minimum of 30 days and a rate of around $200 per day. The respite rates are due to change any day so I would need an idea of when the respite is expected so I can quote the appropriate rate (not being vague, we are just at he budget change time for the year).

Pet-Friendly Community

ABSOLUTELY!

Covid and Flu Vaccinations

We hold vaccination clinics seasonally or as required by state guidelines for Assisted Living.

Aging in Place

That is a complicated answer due to state guidelines, but, yes. The goal is to have residents age in place and utilize all resources available including home health, therapy and hospice or palliative care. Not for all needs, but some specific such as a 2 BR assisted living apartment.
