The facility also maintains an emergency maintenance team and a 24-hour call system to ensure resident safety around the clock.
The historic building features apartments equipped with in-unit washers and dryers, emergency call systems, and elevator access. All-inclusive monthly services cover restaurant-style dining, weekly housekeeping, and personal laundry.
Shared community spaces include a lending library, computer room with internet access, game room, and a full-service beauty shop. Residents can enjoy a social calendar filled with wellness programs and community outings, while the downtown location provides easy access to local restaurants and shops.
