The campus, which is part of the Country Club Retirement Campus network, takes care of up to 58 people and has apartments and suites that are roomy, comfortable, and have private bathrooms, kitchenettes, air-conditioning, cable TV, phones, Wi-Fi, and are fully furnished, and those spaces are maintained by the staff who handle regular cleaning and linen services, with more help available for things like laundry and dry cleaning.
Residents can get help with bathing, dressing, grooming, medication management, and moving around, and the nursing staff is around 24/7, which means there's always someone ready to help, whether someone needs short-term rehab or more involved nursing care, and the campus holds a four-star rating from the Centers of Medicare and Medicaid Services. The place also offers meal options through three on-site restaurants that make food to order, a person-centered dining program so people can choose what to eat, and they also meet special dietary needs. For those who need support after illness or injury, the therapy team builds custom rehabilitation plans, offering physical, occupational, and speech therapies seven days a week, and the gym and wellness center help people stay active or focus on recovery goals, even offering therapies like cardiac or oxygen therapy, IVs, ventilator weaning, and more, right there in private suites.
The grounds have garden paths, patios, and outdoor spaces where residents can walk, watch wildlife, or just enjoy the fresh air, and inside, you'll find a small library, computer area with Wi-Fi, a recreation room, lounges with TVs, a beauty salon and barbershop, ice cream shop, activity areas for arts and crafts or games, a gym, and even a spa room, with all kinds of scheduled activities-game nights, music, movies, story time, spiritual services, offsite trips, and events in the private dining room. The campus welcomes pets in some areas, and they run programs to help new residents settle in, with move-in coordinators and ambassadors making things easier, and the staff also handle finances, help with VA benefits, and arrange transportation both for medical appointments and outings.
