The community has 55 private studio rooms, each approved for Medicaid use, and these can be personalized with family photos and special belongings, which helps residents feel at home and keep their memories close.

The team is available at all hours to provide mobility assistance, personal care, and transportation on and off campus, making life easier for those who like to stay active but may need a little help getting around. Meals are served restaurant-style with chef-inspired menus, which means attention is paid to nutrition while still offering a variety of flavors, and staff consider each person's taste preferences and dietary needs. Spaces for common dining make meals an opportunity for conversation and togetherness.
Each resident has the freedom to decorate their private studio room, and there's a focus on creating a warm, familiar environment rather than a clinical or impersonal one.
