Dining Experience

Our dining experience is restaurant style, allowing residents to take any open seat. A dietary aid will take their drink order followed by their meal order. Alternates are available if residents do not want the menu item for that day. We do not provide specialized diets.

Process for Addressing Resident Complaints or Issues

Residents need to bring their complaints or issues to the attention of the director or assistant director. The issue will be investigated and the resident will be informed about the resolution.

Communication with Residents' Families

Communication is done by phone or by email. Residents need to list on their admission documents who we are allowed to speak with. Generally, a single “point person” is notified about falls, emergencies, etc.

Short-term or Respite Stays

We offer short-term or respite stays. The cost is between $200-220/day depending on the level of care.

Pet-Friendly Policy

We are a pet-friendly community. Pets must be 25 lbs or less, with a limit of two pets. Residents are responsible for the proper care of their pets. Extra costs for pets are included in the packet previously sent.

Vaccinations

Residents can receive Covid and flu vaccinations within the community. We host a clinic every year for these shots.

Aging in Place

We are an RCAC assisted living facility, providing up to 28 hours of care per week per resident, assisting with ADLs (with a 1-person assist), and providing all 3 meals per day. Residents must be able to bear weight on their feet to do a pivot transfer. Hospice services can come in for residents who enroll. If a resident's needs go beyond our scope of practice, they will need to move to a higher level of care. We strive to keep residents here through the end of their lives but depending on their care needs, they might have to move. A limited number of apartments are still available.
