In addition, special dietary needs are prepared per physicians orders. Light snacks are available at any time of the day or evening. One lounge is available for family or resident private parties or meetings.

The entire building is fully air-conditioned, with controls in each room. A change of air system (filtered) is operational year round, regardless of outside weather conditions, permitting clean air to continuously circulate throughout the building. This is for the additional comfort of residents and staff.

The small number of residents in this facility allows the staff to meet the special needs of the residents and encourages a family atmosphere.
