The community has 120 beds, with studio and one-bedroom layouts. A studio provides one private living space, while a one-bedroom layout has a separate bedroom. Pets are allowed, which means residents can keep a pet with them. Medicaid acceptance may matter to families whose savings may not cover a long stay.
