This life affirming environment affords residents privacy in 96 private rooms and three (3) semi-private suites. Each household is also appointed with a full service kitchen and dining room along with a family room and access to the outdoors. We continue our work to transform our culture to one that is truly person-directed, where residents direct the course of their day. Each elder's voice is honored and we continually evaluate our practices and adapt our processes to better meet their needs.
