The center helps people with bathing, dressing, moving around, managing medicines, dealing with complex wounds, and offers things like oxygen, IV, respiratory support like CPAP/BIPAP, and even care for chronic conditions such as diabetes or heart disease. It's set up for folks who can't walk on their own and need round-the-clock supervision, offering long-term and short-term stays, including respite care to give home caregivers a break. Residents get personalized care plans that help them keep as much independence as possible, with the team working closely with doctors, families, and residents.

The center has a safe feel with an emergency call system, security-minded staff, and a design that helps everyone get around easily. Meals come from a professional chef and are served in private or shared dining rooms, with menus that include special diets for allergies and diabetes-three meals a day, made with fresh ingredients. Residents can join scheduled daily activities, try their hand in the arts room, read in a library, watch movies, or play games. The community features a movie theater, music program, activity rooms, a game room, and several lovely gardens and walking paths for fresh air, with three big courtyards and outdoor gathering spots.
Therapy is available with a full-service gym and an indoor heated therapy pool, plus occupational, physical, and speech therapy aimed at helping folks regain strength, speech, and mobility-especially helpful after a hospital stay or surgery.
