The on-site services list is notably broad for a facility this size: a dentist, podiatrist, dialysis unit, salon and spa, and religious services are all available without leaving the building. Pet therapy is offered. Dining is described as fine dining with gourmet menus. Residents have access to an outdoor courtyard, manicured gardens, a family and resident lounge, in-room cable, and WiFi. The facility accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay.

State inspections have tended to focus on medication management, infection prevention and control, fall and injury prevention, care planning and documentation, resident rights and protections, staffing and staff credentials, environmental and hazardous-materials safety, and housekeeping and upkeep; a wide range of operational areas.
