Creativity and artistic pursuits are a great way to foster emotional and intellectual wellness. We empower our residents to pursue personal growth and long-beloved hobbies with amenities like our on-site art center, where residents can partake in a variety of art classes, share their artistic interests with friends, or enjoy some creative time alone.

Meaningful activities are central to one’s sense of self, and occupational therapy supports our residents in navigating daily life with ease and autonomy.
Welcome Home: Supporting Residents & Their Well-Being
The Welcome Home Program takes a collaborative approach to health and wellness, starting with a unique Lifestyle & Wellness Plan, which involves collecting your loved one’s health objectives to craft a wellness strategy that supports their needs.
With these plans, our staff, on-site therapists, and residents’ personal physicians work together to create a seamless care experience. It’s all about fostering well-being and peace of mind for residents and their families.
We are here to support you every step of the way. The process can be as quick as the same day or match the timeline that best serves your family’s needs. Our experienced team of professionals is committed to making the process seamless and efficient for you. We manage all aspects of the process and provide you with the resources and support that you may need!
We encourage you to visit the community as many times as you’d like. We believe that meeting our team and experiencing the community in person is invaluable in making this decision. In addition to the tour, we also welcome you to join us for a meal or an event!
During your visit, we will schedule a time to develop a customized Lifestyle & Wellness Plan for your loved one. This is a rather easy process that can be completed at home or in our community.
A Lifestyle & Wellness Plan evaluates the necessities for optimal resident well-being, covering aspects like:
- Daily living activity support
- Complete healthcare provisions
- Proactive healthcare management and coordination
- Accurate medication administration
- Personalized nutritional plans
Our Lifestyle & Wellness Plan is pivotal in tailoring care to meet the individual needs of each resident. This process ultimately dictates the monthly level-of-care fee, meaning residents only pay for the services they need. This process also provides peace of mind and potentially prolongs the enjoyment of assisted living benefits.
The individual pricing model empowers residents to find the care they need at a price that makes sense, which can help extend their stay within our supportive community.
Discerning the appropriate level of care involves a systematic, 3-step process:
- A comprehensive Lifestyle & Wellness Plan.
- Analysis of the care and time associated with service provision.
- Allocation of a suitable level of care based on this plan.
This straightforward method ensures residents with minimal requirements benefit from lower fees, while those necessitating extensive services receive ample support.
The Lifestyle & Wellness Plan is a process we use regularly so we can offer up-to-date support for residents.
These consistent evaluations are conducted with healthcare professionals, the resident, and their families, solidifying a joint effort in wellness strategy.
We are adept at adjusting our services to align with residents’ evolving needs. By continually monitoring and communicating, we can match their needs as they change.
Our team will coordinate with your loved one’s physician and manage all aspects of the necessary health forms. If moving from out of town, we have partnerships with local physicians who can help support this process. The next step is the Residency Agreement, which we send electronically. Once you receive the agreement, we will coordinate a meeting with you to review any and all questions.
Our “Making it Home” program is focused on creating a personalized plan for the day of move-in and the weeks following. Your loved one will have a resident ambassador and an associate ambassador to support them through their transition. We will also schedule weekly calls to ensure the move-in experience is exactly as it should be!
