Clinical attention extends to diabetes monitoring, ensuring blood-sugar checks and medication schedules are followed without interruption.

Safety and medical oversight remain constant. A secured perimeter, wander-management technology, and an in-room emergency call system help staff respond quickly. Licensed nurses are on site, and residents have access to occupational and physical therapists, podiatry visits, ambulatory and incontinence care, hospice and hospice-waiver support, and medication management. The building layout, including an enclosed courtyard, is designed specifically to accommodate memory loss, reducing confusion and promoting safe mobility.

Apartments offer practical features such as central air conditioning, cable or satellite television, phone connections, Wi-Fi, and resident parking, with outdoor sitting areas close by. Availability of these features can vary by unit, so families should confirm specifics during a tour.
