The campus gives seniors access to several types of care, so you don't have to move again if your health needs change, which is good for peace of mind. They handle daily tasks like cooking, cleaning, laundry, and maintenance, so residents can focus on enjoying life and their hobbies, while caregivers can help with activities like bathing, dressing, medication reminders, and more. There's a strong focus on specialized memory care for Alzheimer's and other dementia, with programs such as the Reminiscence Program and Terrace Club, and the memory care unit is secured to help keep people safe. Skilled nurses are available on-site for those who need more hands-on medical attention, and there's a wellness center with a yoga studio along with gyms and therapy spaces for rehabilitation and exercise.
There's a range of apartments and room types, each with kitchenettes, walk-in showers, and washer and dryer units-residents also get cable, Wi-Fi, and the option for private or extra housekeeping and linen services if they want them, and although the pet policy welcomes small pets, it doesn't allow cats or small dogs. The dining service runs restaurant-style with daily-made meals, fresh bread, and seasoned soups, plus anytime dining and the option for room service or guest meals for visiting family or friends, and there's a coffee shop, bistro, and spaces for communal dining or more casual eating. Folks have access to outside garden spaces and courtyards, which are good for walks or time outdoors, and there's plenty to do, like art and music programs, horticultural activities, recreational games, a movie theater, and community gatherings. Residents can join social events, outings, worship services, and make use of a chapel and library, while technology centers and computer rooms help everyone stay connected. Monthly activity calendars, fitness and wellness programs, and a business center add to the daily routine.
