The facility sits next to Allen Park, and its grounds feature large oak trees, a garden, and inviting sitting areas for residents to enjoy some quiet or social time outdoors, and inside there's a bright, clean setting with welcoming common rooms, a chapel that holds Catholic Mass and Communion, and a barber and beauty shop with appointments on Mondays.

Staff offer around-the-clock skilled nursing, medication help, physical, occupational, and speech therapies, as well as specialized Alzheimer's and dementia care, so residents get the medical oversight and support they require, and personal care includes assistance with everyday tasks, meal options tailored by a dietitian, and help from housekeeping and laundry staff. There's a focus on individualized care through personal plans created with the resident and family, and services include physician visits, pharmacy needs, radiology, dental, podiatry, and social services for extra support. Residents can join in on activities such as spa days, holiday events, and regular social, spiritual, or exercise groups, and the full activity schedule aims to keep minds and bodies engaged.
