The community has a television room and a billiards room where you can spend time, with staff who are known for being helpful and joyful, and over the years the staff have gotten awards for their care and activities. There's a strong focus on allowing seniors to be as independent as possible, but there's also specialized memory care for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, along with assisted living help and extra support from trained aides offering companionship and non-medical care, so everyone gets the care they need. Meals get prepared with an eye towards nutrition and quality, and there are musical concerts plus regular events to keep everybody active. People can pick from several different studio and one-bedroom floor plans, though details about every amenity or policy don't get spelled out. The Manor is apartment-style and supports different care types, and uses a few of its own unique names for activities and features, but descriptions leave out a lot of specifics. The place gets recognized for its services and the friendship among staff and neighbors.
