Our Community has a 24-hour Concierge that responds to any request. An “I’m ok” program in which we check on all Independent Residents every morning. We also have an Independent Living RN Nurse who responds to residents Monday thru Friday. She offers a Blood Pressure Clinic and helps scheduling Doctor Appointments for residents who have chosen to see the Doctors that come to our community.
These ratios vary depending on the level of care of the residents. We always meet the state's minimum requirements, however, if resident care requires additional staffing, we will bring in additional caregivers.
