Accommodations and Availability
We offer comfortable living spaces with a few bed openings that vary month to month. Our waitlist duration can fluctuate depending on the time of year and other factors.
Respite Care

Aging in Place
Residents are encouraged to age in place, with the understanding that if their needs significantly change, such as requiring advanced care for dementia, our team will work with families to recommend a more suitable setting.
Pet Policy
While we do not accommodate pets as residents, service animals are an exception, and family pets may visit from time to time.
Moving Assistance
Currently, we do not have partnerships with moving services, so families are responsible for arranging the transition of their loved ones into our community.
Transportation Services
Our community offers transportation options, including paratransit services for accessibility and group trips for shopping and other activities. We also have in-house doctors and two nearby hospitals for medical needs.
Dining Experience
We provide three meals a day in a formal dining room with two seatings for each meal. Menus are planned in advance, and dietary restrictions and allergies are accommodated with alternative options.
Staff and Safety
Our staff includes HHAs who assist with grooming and daily living tasks. Safety checks are conducted discreetly to ensure resident presence without being intrusive. Head counts are performed at night for added security.
Healthcare Services
Residents have the option to receive vaccinations such as COVID-19 and flu shots from on-site healthcare providers.
Resident Concerns and Communication
Residents can voice complaints to the house supervisor, administrator, or case management team. Our staff is trained to address concerns promptly and effectively. Communication with resident families is maintained to ensure transparency and support.
