Pets can stay too. Folks get help with laundry, housekeeping, and moving in if needed, and there's parking and scheduled rides to the doctor, stores, or church. There's a private dining room, high-definition TVs, and a small theater for entertainment, and people can get a haircut at the on-site stylist or relax in the wellness room. Special features include a secure memory care area with staff who know how to keep people with dementia safe, gardens and walking paths to get outside, and personal care plans so every resident's needs are seen to, whether they need extra help sitting down, feeding, using the bathroom, or moving around.
