The place has only six assisted living units, so it tends to feel more home-like and less crowded, and the owners live onsite, which helps make sure everyone gets needed attention. Residents can choose from private studios, shared apartments, or one-bedroom suites, and all rooms have air-conditioning, private laundry, and full safety features like call buttons and fall prevention measures. The grounds are fully secure, and there are both indoor and outdoor common spaces, landscaped walking paths, a backyard farm for gardening, and a large library, which gives everyone spots to gather or just relax.
