The facility sits at 501 8th Ave SE, in a building with private and semi-private rooms that look and feel a little like home, with basic comforts like kitchens or kitchenettes, washers and dryers, housekeeping, and safety features, plus cable TV and wifi.

Rehabilitation services stand out because of a specialized gym with modern Nautilus equipment, which helps people recover after surgery or illness as quickly as possible.

There's a pharmacy, lab testing, X-rays, and dental, vision, and podiatry visits right on site. Physical, occupational, and speech therapy come standard, and a social worker helps with planning and counseling.
The facility handles most personal care tasks, like bathing, dressing, grooming, laundry, and support with daily living. Medical services include support for complex conditions, post-surgery care, memory care for dementia, palliative and hospice care, and even brain injury rehabilitation. Meals are planned for many diets and there's outpatient care, plus counseling for residents and families about long-term care, insurance, and recovery support. Safety features like sprinklers and emergency kits are in place, with technology such as telehealth visits and an automatic defibrillator available too. The environment feels welcoming and the mission focuses on giving dependable care, but reviews average 3.0 out of 15, so experiences might vary. Room prices depend on privacy and size, ranging from $6,000 to $9,000 a month.
