The whole building offers both indoor and outdoor spaces where residents can visit and take part in daily scheduled activities. There are wellness programs and a gym for those who want to keep moving, and there's always something on-the activity rooms, arts and crafts, music, movie nights, or just spending time in the garden. The place has a library, game room, walking paths, a business room, barbershop and salon, plus offsite outings when people want a change of scene.
Everyone has access to a twelve-to-sixteen hour nursing staff, with a 24-hour call system, and there's support for anyone who needs help getting around, managing continence, or anything else that's part of daily life. Memory care units offer extra watchfulness and specially planned days for those who need them. Scheduled rides make it easy to get to stores, appointments, or wherever someone might want to go. Small pets are allowed, giving residents a chance to keep some of their best friends with them. Floor plans and payment options are shared by request.
