Admission & Getting Started

Our admission process is straightforward and compassionate. First, schedule a tour to visit our facility and meet our staff. Next, we'll conduct a comprehensive assessment to understand your or your loved one's needs. Finally, we'll work with you to complete necessary paperwork, arrange move-in details, and create a personalized care plan. We can typically complete the process within 3-7 days, though we can expedite for urgent situations.

Yes, we offer short-term respite stays that can serve as a trial period. This allows residents to experience our community firsthand before making a long-term commitment. Respite stays can range from a few days to several weeks, giving you peace of mind and confidence in your decision.
 

Costs & Payment

We believe in transparent, predictable pricing. Our flat-rate model means one monthly fee covers room, board, personal care assistance, meals, activities, housekeeping, laundry, and utilities. There are no surprise charges or hidden fees. The rate varies based on the level of care needed and room type (private vs. semi-private).
We accept private pay, long-term care insurance, VA benefits (including Aid & Attendance), and in some cases, Medicaid. We'll work with you to understand your financial situation and explore all available options. Our staff can help you navigate VA benefits applications and insurance claims.

 

Our flat-rate covers nearly everything. The only additional costs might be for specialized medical equipment not typically provided, personal items like toiletries and clothing, and optional services like salon visits or specialized therapies. We'll discuss any potential additional costs upfront during the admission process.

 

Yes! As a veteran-owned facility, we have extensive experience helping veterans and their spouses apply for VA Aid & Attendance benefits. Our staff will guide you through the application process, help gather necessary documentation, and connect you with accredited VA representatives if needed.

Daily Life & Services

Our daily schedule is flexible and personalized. Residents typically wake naturally (no set wake time), enjoy breakfast in our dining room between 7-9am, participate in morning activities like exercise or crafts from 10-11:30am, have lunch at noon, enjoy afternoon programs or social time from 2-4pm, and gather for dinner at 5:30pm. Evening activities like movies, games, or music happen around 7pm. We respect individual preferences and routines.
We offer a diverse range of activities including exercise classes, arts and crafts, music programs, movie nights, game tournaments, gardening, educational workshops, community outings, holiday celebrations, and spiritual services. Activities are designed to promote physical health, mental stimulation, social connection, and personal fulfillment. Participation is always optional and based on resident interest.

 

 

Absolutely! We encourage residents to bring personal items, furniture (within reasonable limits), photos, decorations, and cherished belongings. Making your room feel like home is important to us. Our staff can help arrange furniture and ensure the space is both comfortable and safe. We want every resident to feel this is truly their home.

 

Family and friends are always welcome! We have flexible visiting hours and encourage regular visits. Family members can join residents for meals (with advance notice), attend activities and special events, and participate in care planning. We believe family involvement is crucial to resident wellbeing and happiness.
