The community provides different types of care, including independent living for older adults who want a vibrant social place, assisted living for those needing daily help like bathing, dressing, or medication, and memory care for residents with Alzheimer's or dementia, all the way up to skilled nursing and at-home care if someone requires more medical attention or support. They use the Clare Bridge program, which means they look for daily ways to help folks with memory challenges feel happy and purposeful, and the Clare Bridge Dining Program offers dementia-friendly menus, small dining rooms that make it easier to connect, and extra help at mealtimes so everyone can take part.
