Families looking for temporary help can arrange respite or short-term stays. All care occurs within a secured community, with doors and grounds monitored to minimize wandering and ensure rapid response in an emergency.

Apartments and suites vary in size and layout, and select units allow small pets. Depending on the room chosen, features can include wheelchair-accessible showers, Wi-Fi, cable TV, individual air conditioning, and proximity to a central fireplace or outdoor seating areas, but not every unit contains each feature. The property is fully handicap accessible and offers onsite parking for residents and visitors.
