Respite care, lastly, gives a family caregiver the opportunity to travel or to rest while the staff takes over for a short stay.
Residences range from studio to two-bedroom units, with one-bedroom units in between. The studio size has enough space for one person, and the two-bedroom has enough space for a couple moving in together who sleep apart. Pets are welcome here. The community is wheelchair-accessible too.
There is a pool, a salon, a spa, and a courtyard on-site, and there are transportation services for taking trips beyond the community grounds. The wellness program offers individualized service plans and Montessori-based therapies, while the Lavender Sky program is offered exclusively by the community.
