The rooms, which can be private or shared, come furnished with cable, air conditioning, private bathrooms, and kitchenettes, and they can be adjusted based on need, and there's support for non-ambulatory folks and people who need two-person transfers, so nobody has to struggle alone if care gets more complex. Care is available around the clock with 12-16 hour nursing coverage, a 24-hour call system, and awake staff, plus help with medications, dressing, bathing, transfers, and all the personal things like bathroom use, grooming, even down to arranging a mobile stylist when folks need one.
Meals are homemade, served three times a day with options for specific dietary needs, including for those with diabetes or high blood pressure, and the dining room feels friendly for everyone. The facility's secured and protected so people with memory loss stay safe, and the staff has experience handling Alzheimer's and dementia with specialized programs to help with memory and engagement. Activities run most days, with music therapy, animal therapy, board games, arts and crafts, planned day trips, movie nights, and all sorts of fitness and wellness programs, and those who want quiet time have a small library, a reading room, and outdoor yards and walking paths, while those who like a bit more bustle can join in at the recreation areas, wellness center, or the beauty parlor.
Transportation is available both for medical appointments and regular errands like shopping or church, and if needed, staff organizes non-medical rides too.
