We have three unique cottages—Applewood, Elmwood, and Oakwood—each home to only 16 residents.

Instead, we adjust the level of support as needed, so residents can continue living in the same familiar setting surrounded by friends and caring staff. This thoughtful approach gives families peace of mind knowing their loved one can stay in one place while receiving the right level of care, no matter how needs may grow over time.
