Residents can enjoy three meals a day in our dining room or opt for tray delivery to their apartments. While residents cannot eat at any time they wish, they are treated to a restaurant-style menu with a wide variety of typical food options to choose from.
Staff and Medical Support
Our team comprises dedicated nurses, aides, and dietary staff to cater to the daily needs of our residents. Additionally, doctors visit our facility five days a week to provide medical care.

Residents also have access to call buttons and pendants for immediate assistance, with nurses checking on residents every two hours or as needed.
Availability and Wait List
Currently, there is a wait list only for the long-term care side of our nursing home, which is typically no more than a month long.
