The building's set up with a resident security system for safety, and the staff makes visiting pretty flexible so families can come visit most times, which means residents don't feel cut off from folks, and the kitchen serves balanced meals with a special hydration program to help meet everyone's nutrition needs, while their dietary services try to meet individual preferences and medical needs. Regular laundry and housekeeping get done for everyone, and meals are served each day, with staff always around to help with daily activities or special medical needs, including Alzheimer's care, tracheotomy or tube feeding, respite stays, and even hospice care for comfort near the end of life. The place sits close to hospitals and doctors, which makes getting healthcare easy if something comes up, and for those needing independent living or just a bit of help, there's a choice between types of rooms and levels of care so people keep as much independence as they want.
Residents can use the salon or barbershop for haircuts, log onto Wi-Fi, watch shows with cable TV connections, and even use the computer room or read in the library, with staff organizing everything from arts and crafts, games, and exercise classes to pet therapy and spiritual programs; outdoor shuffleboard courts are there for those who enjoy some sunshine, and the craft or exercise rooms give space to get creative or move around. People who need a ride get scheduled medical transportation, and there's a rotation of activities so residents can stay busy socially, physically, and mentally, with an award-winning schedule that encourages social, emotional, and mental wellness. They hold private dining rooms for guests, have plenty of recreational programs, provide laundry services, and have a memory care unit for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, with special spaces and plans to keep folks calm and avoid confusion or wandering.
