The Abbey offers both independent and assisted living options, so older adults who don't need help with daily tasks can enjoy a maintenance-free lifestyle, while those who need a bit of extra care can find support, and they've got English-speaking caregivers on staff along with personalized care services, and for meals, residents can enjoy continental breakfasts and dinner options in a dining room with lots of light and charm, and the meal program handles special dietary needs like allergies and diabetes, plus there's all-day dining available for flexible mealtimes, so folks don't have to stick to one schedule, and the property has many places to gather, such as a fitness center, solarium, arts room, business center, and movie area, not to mention a well-stocked library and a computer room for those who like to read or use the internet, and there's cable TV and Wi-Fi for downtime or staying connected.
