There's nursing oversight, and in some cases, 24-hour medical care. The community also has memory care options if someone has Alzheimer's or dementia, keeping folks safe from wandering and providing extra support for those who need help with memory, anxiety, or cognitive decline.
Meals are home-cooked three times a day and they'll adjust for special diets, including for diabetes or high blood pressure. Every week, residents have their laundry, cooking, and housekeeping taken care of, so nobody has to worry about chores, and if needed, arrangements exist for transportation to the doctor or faith-based activities. Amenities include a community dining space, movie nights, walking paths outside, a book room, hot tub, steam room, gardens, fitness options, and recreation areas.
