Have you opened a new location, redesigned your shop, or added a new product or service? Don't keep it to yourself, let folks know. Each home has a dedicated House Manager/Administrator and highly trained  staff so  residents become accustomed to interacting with the same  people on a daily basis. This also helps our caregivers know our  residents’ likes and dislikes and provide a more personalized level of  care. Each home is staffed with at least one caregiver for every three  residents.  

We have activities coordinators that come to all of our homes and spend  time with our residents each weekday afternoon. They engage the  residents in music, games, and group activities that provide mental and  emotional stimulation
