Assisted living residents receive help with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing and medication management from a wellness staff available around the clock.

The assisted living team includes registered and licensed practical nurses on site daily, certified nursing assistants around the clock, an activities director and a dietitian. The Medical Director, a geriatric specialist, visits assisted living residents at least once a week.

A podiatrist, optometrist, dentist, psychiatrist and psychologist regularly visit the community, and physical, occupational and speech therapists are on site seven days a week.

The rehabilitation program has an in-patient rehabilitation floor and an on-site team of physical, occupational and speech therapists. It is equipped for post-surgical, orthopedic, cardiopulmonary and stroke-related recovery, and families can attend therapy sessions by appointment.

Skilled long-term nursing provides complete nursing care, including full assistance with dressing, bathing and medication administration and more complex nursing needs. About one-third of the beds are dedicated to short-term sub-acute rehabilitation stays.

Skilled nursing residents are under the care of the Medical Director, with a team of nurses, a nurse practitioner, certified nursing assistants, a dietitian, an activities director and licensed social workers.

Respite care is a short-term stay in a furnished assisted living apartment or a furnished private or semi-private skilled nursing room, depending on availability, with the services available to long-term residents.

Assisted living apartments are unfurnished so residents can bring familiar items. Each includes window treatments, a refrigerator, a microwave and a private bath.
