Licensed in November 2004, the community has been operating in the greater Madison area for over 21 years, making it one of the older assisted living options in the area. The community has 47 licensed beds and accommodates older adults 24 hours a day.

For better context about the nature and severity of each deficiency, families are suggested to review the detailed deficiency reports through the Wisconsin Department of Health Services.

Additionally, a wide range of services, including respite care, 24-hour staffing, personal care, medication administration, housekeeping, and a well-curated activities program, are offered.
