Long-term residential care is provided, helping those with complex medical needs, chronic conditions, cognitive, functional, and behavioral issues.

This is ideal for those who cannot stay at home due to complex healthcare needs but do not need to be in a hospital setting.

Adult day care promotes social interactions in a supervised manner, allowing family caregivers to rest during the day. This is beneficial in terms of preventing loneliness in older adults and providing additional support for family caregivers.
