  • cozy, home-like environment
  • skilled and compassionate caregivers

and takes individualized care a step farther.

  • Each living unit has its own kitchenette for families /staff to assist in preparing morning and evening meals.
  • The Service Houses are smaller communities consisting of 9 to 15 elders.
