The staff focus on personal service and supporting residents with love and respect, while family owners stay involved in the daily running of this adult family home, sometimes called an AFH.

The home lets people keep their independence and privacy, with policies made so everyone can make daily choices, and special support for those who want to age in place.

The outdoor spaces have walking paths, enclosed courtyards, a porch, gardens, and spaces called the butterfly and hummingbird gardens, which add to the peaceful feeling, and raised beds help residents join in gardening activities if they wish.
Jem Care allows for small dogs and cats if they're below the weight limit, and there are smoking areas outside and in private spots. The home offers transportation both at no charge and for a fee. Dinner options are flexible, with communal dining, private rooms, and even in-room kitchens in some homes, depending on the setup.
