There are plenty of room options, including semi-private, single, or studio apartments, and each one can come with a kitchenette, cable, and accessible bathrooms with grab bars. Pets are welcome under some policies, and residents can bring small animals if they follow certain rules. The grounds have porches with wicker chairs, raised garden beds, and outdoor patios and gardens where folks can relax.
