FAMILY TESTIMONIAL
My mother recently moved here from another facility. The care and concern that has been shown to her and our family has been exceptional. The move in process, even in the midst of Covid, was made easy. I am continually impressed by how kind and caring all the members of the team are. They genuinely seem to like their jobs—which was not the experience that we had previously. The communication with staff is excellent. Any concern or question I have had has been answered quickly and professionally. The nursing care is thorough and the activities planned are innovative and engaging. My mom has been there two months and so far it has been a great move!
We understand how important socializing is for good health.
That’s why we have customized several community areas that allow our residents to find a space that they can enjoy easily.
Gathering together is a natural part of being at home. We have many cozy nooks throughout the building, and we've designed our space to minimize hallways so everything is more conveniently located for our assisted living residents and memory care residents.
Are you an artist?
Whether you're an assisted living residents and memory care residents we encourage our residents to try new hobbies or pursuits, like gardening by our peaceful water feature or creating an art project on our sun-drenched porch.
Like to play cards?
We have a wide variety of activities scheduled every month, and our residents can choose whether they would like to participate. We do our best to incorporate resident feedback and requests in everything we do, and we are always creating new opportunities to connect.
