Day to day, residents get support with personal care and housekeeping, and meals are served together in a central dining room. There’s a rhythm to the week built around arts and crafts sessions and fitness programs, plus an outdoor courtyard where residents can sit outside or family can visit somewhere other than a hallway or lobby. Pets are welcome here too, and transportation services are on hand for residents who need a hand getting to appointments or errands.
