Our homes are not "secure" (locked units) so we cannot accept any resident who may be a wandering risk.

Our meals are planned by a dietitian and are all prepared in-house by our own cooks.

We have the ability to modify meals as needed if a resident needs softer-textured food and we can accommodate just about any likes and dislikes with the menu options available.
