Additionally, no complaint investigations or enforcement actions were reported.
The community offers a wide range of amenities and services, including chef-prepared meals, fitness classes, a salon with spa services, scheduled transportation, and a variety of daily social and recreational activities. Personal care services are extensive and include assistance with bathing, dressing, incontinence care, mobility support, medication management, and grooming. Housekeeping and laundry services are included, and the dining program provides three meals per day with accommodations for special diets. Respite care is also available, making it an option for families in need of short-term support. With 24-hour staffing and coordination with external healthcare providers, the community is also equipped to assist residents with more complex care needs.
