We have 257 private and semi private personal care home rooms located throughout our facility
The program recognizes that residents each have their own special needs, and care plans are designed to meet these individual needs.
Residents enjoy predominantly private rooms, and each wing has a central area for dining and activities. Regular social events are planned, including outings, exercise groups, one to one activities, bingo and many more, according to the desires of the residents. In room cable television, wifi and telephone connection can be made available.
