The community has a secure memory care section in its own building, with special programs like the Reminiscence Program and Terrace Club, plus structured activities for brain fitness and reminiscence therapy, and caregivers get real training on how to care for people with memory loss and difficult behaviors, so families know residents are watched and helped in a safe way, and features like bracelets and alarms help prevent wandering.
Staff are around 24/7, including nurses and aides, and they'll help residents with eating, bathing, dressing, toileting, and medication reminders, and there's help for folks who have incontinence, diabetes, or need help with other medical needs like sliding scale insulin. People can bring their pets, both cats and dogs, and the building has handicap accessibility, high-speed internet, and both indoor and outdoor common areas to enjoy, including a cozy fireside lounge, an inviting bistro, and colorful courtyards with garden beds and rocking chairs so it feels more homey and relaxing.

Folks have access to therapy services onsite or from visiting doctors, dentists, podiatrists, therapists, and other health specialists, and the place is set up so people can age in place, meaning if care needs change, help is there without needing to move again, and respite care is also available for short-term needs.
