Instead, we offer care in a flexible way if you require it. Your suite’s monthly fee includes access to our on-site nurse, and we will monitor your vitals, too. If you need any care services, you’ll collaborate with our Health & Wellness Manager so we can assess where and when you’d benefit from having assistance. Maybe you’d like help managing your prescribed medications, or assistance with getting ready in the morning? Some residents ask for help with oxygen service or routine lab services, while others appreciate being escorted to the dining room. Your selections will be added to your personalized care plan, and you can change your plan at any time to ensure we’re always addressing your needs. You can either choose a service or two à la carte or opt for an all-inclusive package.

We’re here to help you or a loved one understand your options and which service level will be the right fit for you. Our Health & Wellness Manager will also conduct an assessment before you move in to ensure you’re receiving the right level of care for your unique needs and preferences.
