Counseling and mental health help are offered at the site, and residents can also get their teeth checked or receive physical therapy to help them move better.

The weekly schedule includes exercise classes, art projects, and listening to music for health. Reading groups and group talks give people who want to visit a chance to have a real conversation. The home also plans trips to local places, so the residents do not have to stay inside the building for all their fun.
