Housekeeping and laundry come as part of the service, along with transportation and escorts to medical appointments, local stores, banks, and outings, and there are beautician and postal services on site, plus daily newspaper delivery and regular devotional activities.

The schedule's full, with everything from cognitive engagement and memory-stimulating activities to fun community events, group outings, and social times, helping folks keep active-physically, mentally, and socially-and the facility's got a luxury dining room, big common rooms, a friendly main foyer, a movie theater, and plenty of outdoor spaces for relaxing or gathering with neighbors. Safety and dignity get a lot of attention, with secure units for those who need more structure, and the approach is always to help people stay as independent as possible by giving them only the help they want and need.
