Meals get cooked by skilled cooks in an on-site dining room, and the staff make sure dietary needs get met, with options for diabetes, allergies, and pureed meals, and you can eat with others in a community dining hall designed for visits and meeting new people, with family invited to regular events if you want to see your relatives more often. There's housekeeping, laundry, and dry cleaning services, and folks get help with bathing, dressing, grooming, medication management, meal planning, and even daily chores like cooking and cleaning, plus help with incontinence if that's needed.
