The community has executive kitchens, living rooms, private dining areas, and spacious apartments with attention to detail and comfort, and you'll see beautiful views and lush grounds when you look outside the windows. Services cover personal care, wellness, a full-time nurse on staff 24/7, and support for daily living activities, while therapies are in place to help residents with dementia or Alzheimer's keep safe and calm. The dining room and private dining spaces offer an upscale atmosphere, and there's a menu from trained culinary staff who can make award-winning cuisine, including seasonal hors d'oeuvres and signature cocktails, because the focus is really on a comfortable and pleasant dining experience for everybody who lives here.
