24-hour nursing coverage with licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants, housekeeping services, laundry areas on each floor, spacious resident closets, and individually controlled air conditioning are among the confirmed amenities. Rehabilitation services are also provided on-site, allowing residents to access therapy support without the inconvenience of traveling to outside providers.
