Mary B’s—comprised of a cozy living room and a country kitchen—provides an intimate setting that encourages social interaction, evokes a sense of home, and reconnects residents with familiar life skills. The country kitchen and living room serve as central gathering spaces, where laughter, socialization, and reminiscence are part of life every day.
