The place has landscaped grounds, gardens for relaxation, and indoor common areas like a dining area, a living room with a working fireplace, and an activity room with a big-screen TV, and there's a fitness room and spa with a hydrotherapy whirlpool tub. There are lots of social events like movie nights, music programs, and resident-run activities, and unique programs like walking groups, chair dancing, balloon toss, plus golf, tennis, or bowling on the Nintendo Wii to help keep everyone moving, all supporting both social and physical health. Residents can bring small pets, like dogs or cats, with some rules about size and breed, and there's an annual registration required to make sure the pets are well cared for.
